Thanks all for the responses. If you're considering going but are afraid of making the wrong choice, know that unless you want to live in Calgary, your best long term and short term solution is leaving now. It's going to be years before Onex divests any further and in the meantime they will continue...

Anyone know if our commuting policy also covers ground travel? I'm sure I remember reading, when the negotiations were ongoing, that commuting by ground would not be discriminated against. If say you live in Quebec City and are commuting by car to Montreal and your car breaks down mid journey would ...

Does anyone know someone who has returned to WestJet after leaving and working at a different Canadian airline?

Any ideas on when there could be more vacancies at YVR? It seems like there's very few positions there at the moment.

Anyone here who can share what the lifestyle is like as a junior 787 FO in YVR? I see there's a few positions available on this review.

They're all going to be decimated because Canadians won't be able to afford to travel by air. My understanding of what Carney just announced is that the Canadian tax payer will pay money to the American auto industry to make sure it keeps building in Canada. So in effect the Canadian tax payer will...

Yeah I just read that too. That's a heck of a decline if it's accurate.

April. Probably a mostly flat bid. I expect some reductions. Depending on how they want to do the 220 in YVR there may be a closed base, moving more 737 positions out and 220 positions in

Thanks for the response, appreciate it.

When are we expecting the next equipment bid? May?

Any ideas on if there will be more YVR positions?

You really don't want to join the EU. It means giving up your Sovereignty - EU decides who you have to let in to your country. Each country gets a quota of migrants. If you don't control your border - you're not a country imho. Do you really want to become France, Belgium or the UK? Then there's Ro...

Vote Conservative? Canada is over dude. The sooner we realize that the less we'll suffer. Unfortunately in many ways this is true. When you consider the demographics of the country the only way to make Canada survive over the next 100 years is mass immigration. That in itself will totally change th...

What's your thoughts on Doug Ford and his: 'I am the toughest fighter ever, we're going to show Trump not to mess with us, I'm going to put a 25% surcharge on electricity until he removes all tariffs'!! Trump: take that off or I'll make it 50% Ford: Oh yes sir, sorry Mr Trump sir, I'll take it off s...

I was always surprised that the team doing the negotiations are not professional negotiators employed by ALPA. Sure have Pilot representatives in the room but not doing the actual negotiations.

Recalled for what reason?

I like it, get rid of the Canadian peso! Lainchpad1 for Prime Minister, vote for Launchpad1! Hahaha I appreciate your nomination but I'm to honest to be a politician. Eurozone is already imploding. It’s only a matter of time. Borders in the Schengen area are getting more restrictive and If you don’...

There is another way that doesn't seem to be getting discussed much. Canada doesn't have to cease to exist. There could simply be a BLT (Bilateral Labour and Trade agreement) between Canada and the US. Completely free movement of people and goods and a single currency. Pretty much the same as the Eu...

In a hypothetical situation were Canadians are given the vote for Canada to become part of the USA how would you vote?

In this scenario each province would become a state and would be able to set it's own laws and rules (in the way US states do now).

Just curious how people would vote

Right, so fear then. You are all cowards. No we get it. FYI I voted no because I thought we could do better. I recognize though that there was a chance we might have gotten worse because of arbitration. Everyone has different risk tolerances due to themselves and their personal circumstances. Are y...

I refer you all to this survey I did. http://www.avcanada.ca/forums2/viewtopic.php?t=218831 It wasn't happiness with the new contract that got it accepted by the majority, it was the legitimate concern of government intervention. The issue lies with the Canadian governments history of meddling in un...

In full transparency I should say that I am a no voter, although there are some improvements I think we could have done better. I just find it interesting that if you remove the possibility of government intervention then (with this admittedly limited pole) the no vote seems to lead. I do however ac...

The vote is done now and we should all move on and respect the democratic process.

I'm curious though how people would have voted if there had been a 100% guarantee of no arbitration.

When does it get effective if it gets voted yes?

I believe some bits become effective straight away and others can take a few months to go into effect.

When is the closing date?

10th of October.

Funny you say this. I was just thinking of quotes from world leaders….. he had a couple good one. “If you’re going through hell, keep going” Yeah that's a good one! Imagine if he'd said 'We shall fight them on the beaches, we shall fight them on the landing grounds, we shall never surrender - unles...
