Re: Strike vote

cloak = demeter = china? I shouldn't be here, but I must correct the record. It is my suspicion that demeter and cloak are NOT the same people, and neither one of them are me. While I'm here, I want to address Greg G.'s post above where he said: "...your post is putting all the blame on the pilots ...

Re: China_CAAC's Merged Threads

Captain Haddock , you will be happy to know that the jackhammering is complete. I have exhausted my research on the topic.

Re: Aircraft sliding off the runway in YXE?

Slid off before take-off, so presumably this happened at something close to taxi speed? RWY 15/33 is still NOTAM'd closed due to disabled aircraft . It's considered impolite to refer to an aircraft's disability in a way that makes it seem a negative characteristic. The current preferred terminology...

Re: How's morale with uncertainty of the one list?

Apparently Ian is a guy who recently moved back to Thunder Bay, where he used to live when he flew MU2's, and now commutes to YYZ.

That and he recently was trashing me on a layover lol.

Cheers, Ian.

Re: The Lure of a Combined Bargaining Unit

However, it also indicated that if the plaintiffs proved that the union had acted to sacrifice the jobs of certain members in an attempt to increase the size of the bargaining unit and thereby increase its own strength, a breach of the union's duty of fair representation "would probably be shown", ...

Re: Why does anyone want to work at WestJet?

When I see threads like this all I can think is "welcome to the real world" Why is it that most pilots and likely age reflected as well think a union will magically launch everyone into nirvana. It's a long and slow drawn out process. Depending on economy there might even be concessions at some poi...

Re: Tim Perry elected as head of ALPA Canada Board

I find it odd that my WJ colleagues on the ALPA mailing list haven’t received a Happy New Year message from the new Canada Board President, who assumed office January 1. I know he’s probably business learning the ropes, but surely the message software isn’t that complicated. What’s adding to the sen...

With the February 1, 2018 MEC Alert (above) regarding the seniority list, and Kaplan’s June 8, 2018 Order placing Swoop pilots and new hires onto the WPSL by date of hire, all pilots could be forgiven in thinking that ALPA had followed its established seniority policy and ordered the entire seniorit...

Re: China_CAAC's Merged Threads

In composing my synopsis of the theory that ALPA violated the DFR of some WJ pilots, I have attempted to defend the opposite side of the argument. That requires finding that there was "some labour relations purpose" for ignoring established ALPA policy. As I have previously posted in this thread, th...

Re: China_CAAC's Merged Threads

A bit old, this reference from the 1982 McGill Law Journal, but I think the quoted passages add some colour to the discussion of the duty that a union owes its members. A duty, I suggest, that ALPA has not achieved in regards to some of its members in the WJ bargaining unit. ALPA_DFR_Superseniority_...
