Re: Ready To Strike

We only get strike pay if we're on strike for more than 14 days. For the first 14 days, we get nothing. I'm ready either way. Just know for budgeting purposes that if we're on strike for less than 2 weeks, it will be entirely without income. Profit Sharing should be arriving in April. Anyone with a...

Re: Is the ACPA Motto: "We will get'em next time" gone?

Those who choose not to prepare for a strike are foolish. ALPA does not tolerate scabs. There is still a "scab list" from a strike in the early 80's down in the States. To this day those guys are banned from many flight deck jumpseats. A strike or lockout IS coming, it's just a matter of when. Expe...

Re: What's with all the geeks on the street at Pearson

Lots and lots of guys still on probation too that aren’t wearing the new lanyards. That being said, the title and original post reek of someone trying to troll. Do you really believe AC would fire a new hire for wearing an ALPA lanyard? The red one? Yep. The blue one? No. Don’t underestimate the le...

Re: Wear your goddamn lanyard!

A full throated +1. Ill be voting no as well, regardless. You can’t say “I like this MEC, I trust them” in one breath and then say “I’m automatically voting no” in the next. By doing so, you are saying they are going to bring us a shitty deal, therefore you don’t actually trust them. Like I told Ri...

Re: Wear your goddamn lanyard!

Call it shortsighted if you like. I'm triggered to vote no as anything that has ever been presented to us in the past could have benefitted from a solid NO vote, at least ONCE. If you fear external forces acting on good faith bargaining, then we have little hope. As employees, we have rights that i...

Re: FLAIR NOT PAYING PILOTS FOR WORK

Nope. Any calendar day away from home base that has no duty attached to it is credited at 4 hours. I think maybe you have misunderstood. It’s been explained several times lately in various forms around the company. They are not crediting like many of those overseas airlines do. That is completely f...

Re: Timing the cycle

Well I hope that the hundreds of pilots who lowered wages in Canada by accepting flat pay will finally be able to band together and make amends! Hold the line! Interesting strategy blaming people who came here hoping to make things better, but no blame for those who negotiated and defended flat pay...

Re: “Dashboard”?

No different than Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge. Different OCs, different call signs. Air Canada absolutely wanted two separate OCs ,pay scales, everything, in the beginning of Rouge. It was a way to get around the mainline OC. Are you saying that Porter management “wanted” this segregation? … no...

Re: “Dashboard”?

That’s ridiculous. Porter only has one operating certificate(OC) to the best of my knowledge. It also cannot be some type of ATC requirement to separate the turboprops from the jets since Jazz has operated jets and turboprops over the years with the same Jazz call sign Incorrect. 2 separate OCs. ht...

Re: What's the over and under pilots can focus on contract negotiations

I not asking what the MEC’s (or the pilot group’s) stance on it is. I’m wondering if the company has tabled anything regarding scope. By the way, the scope let in the failed MOA was not the reason it failed. All it was for were some 50 seat RJs, operated by a non-Jazz carrier to provide some transb...

Re: What's the over and under pilots can focus on contract negotiations

So, would anyone care to postulate, is scope on the table at all in the current talks? obviously North American scope clauses currently prohibit small jets greater than 76 seats, but according to bargaining 101: shoot for the moon and settle somewhere in between, would this not be a good angle for ...

What a joke we are in Canada I dont think we will see pay increases like this ever. WestJet did Fawk all when it was time to "hold the line". AC management will just compare themselves to them, and eventually ALPA will take the best lowball they can get. They've got all the flat payers by the balls...

Re: 787-10 order

A few years ago in one of the refresher courses I was in, MS said they needed the range of the 200LRs for some of the Australian flying. The -10 definitely doesn’t have that range. But maybe something has changed route wise. Wouldn’t be surprised if they move the 330s to rouge. We are still down 25...
