Re: AO

"your group still has active pilots from that era that are being sued and your DFR is to represent them so your are stuck"

Not sure that there a a DFR issue here as this matter is a private one. ACPA chose to fund the defense by assessing all paying members.

Re: hiring at Jazz!!!

Unless a miracle happens I do not see the company hiring soon. We have quite a few pilots on reduced blocks and LOA's, as well as the block credits are at the bottom end of the scale...not to mention an obscene amount of pilots on reserve.

Re: New tour company could transform Jazz

Contrary to what many may think, Jazz management is not stupid. They would not jeopardise their bread and butter CPA with AC so that they can operate a measley 5 B737's. This deal will not have any effect on the CPA with AC and there will be no reduction in protected hulls.

Direct Save Holidays is the competitor to ACV, not Jazz. Under our CPA with AC we are allowed to do exactly what is being proposed.

Re: Reciprocal Jumpseat Question

"all they can do is say no." And they will. As for me personally, if someone showed up with a child requesting the j/s my answer would be, "Nyet Boris." It is a privillage for pilots and not pilots and their family. Sheesh, there is always someone who, given an inch wants to take the whole effin yard.

Re: No more Age 60 forced Retirement at Air Canada ???

"I am sure ACPA will deal with any final ruling in the best way for all members."

I am sure that all the ex Canadian Airlines pilots will agree with that statement wholeheartedly. For me, I think I'll nominate it as the statement of the year.

Any captain that does that is risking disciplenary action if he/she were to do that. The rules are clear, jumpseaters must not exceed the amount of j/seats installed. It does not matter what they feel, this is a privilege provided by the company. By breaking the rules the whole j/s program is jeopor...

"Based on past history the union will probably continue to fight this ruling creating further false hope for those that oppose 60+, and that will serve to further divide the pilot group and create even more animosity."

Definitely and ACPA is very good at that...just ask the OCA group.

Re: Cargojet flying on behalf of Amerijet?

777 Expat,

I think you underestimate the resolve of the Jazz pilots when it comes to standing up for the principals of our union. We did not achieve one of the best CA's in NA by scabbing. If you know any Jazz pilots ask them if they will do what you just stated and let me know what they say.

Why not blame the CJ pilots for their actions? They have the power to put and end to this dishonourable type of behaviour, all it will take is a collective, "NO". Amazing what that little word will do when it comes from the voice of many. When AC pilots were on strike a number of years ago, we [ALPA...
