By the way in % AT has more unilingual (english only) pilot that bilingual (english + french) at westjet. Please dont go there.

After reading the note a second time you are rigut i will have to correct my previous post.

The 2% start with the begginning of the 737 operation.

You have to add 2% per year starting in 2011 so basically add little bit more that 6% to get the 2013 rate. See note 2 in french.

This is not exactly the same story, XL and AT have no cross-ownership so they do not gain anything by sending pilots and/or aircraft at a reduce price to hurt competition (dumping) as opposition to TUI/Sunwing. Pilots might be pissed but this is a fair contract without any unfair competion. Apple vs...

Why cant we do that... Résumés of workers who applied for jobs at a B.C. coal project show there were qualified Canadian applicants for positions that went to foreign employees, says a recently filed court document. People who applied for the jobs included workers with extensive mining experience, t...

Blocking canadian Sunwing pilot to the jumpseat will solve nothing and is not the solution. The jumpseat program is made by pilot for pilot and is an essential part of our benefit. Alienate a group of pilot will just make thing worst and will create a loss for both sides. Transat pilot should try to...

Honestly what is the point of questionning who is paying Gilles.. Does it change anyting... The real drama is the lost of canadian job and the way it is handle by Sunwing ( outside 1:1 ratio) ALPA, ACPA and the westjet union should triple his pay for god sake... I would pay him myself... He is doing...

Yeah, smart move, sit back and watch the bloodbath from the sidelines, let the dust settle, preserve your money, and then do something, maybe. Transat and Air Canada low cost carrier gonna duke it out this summer, both are guaranteed to loose money, Transat will run out of coin before Air Canada do...

There is a difference between not been able to prove and not doing it... Do you really think Sunwing opened their books and showed every transaction.. i have my doubt... Anyways you are hopeless.... What can you say to convince someone who is drinving on the opposite side of the highway thinking tha...

Gilles, Keep digging my friend...Because of Dry lease, SWG employs more Canadian pilots all year round, out side of our core fleet. You can spin all you want, Wet lease, Dry lease whatever. With Transat benefiting from both, including A330 "TSN" going to XL France last season and 4-5 Wet-lease A330...

Pls do not bring the language issue on this topic because i will be force to ask how many francophone work for Westjet...

First, once again, a magazine report is not a hard proof of profits... Porter was probably mention every year in this magazine until they finally open theirs books and investor realised they have lost money every year with credible accounting procedures. Secondly, a 20% corporation taxe on suppose p...

OPEC6 Heavy I m as educated as an outsider can be. I think i have a fair knowledge on the subject and i just wish to be entertain on the dynamic of the upper management at Sunwing. For the record i agree on pretty much everything you have said. I do not have anything against 1:1 ration as the majori...

hey patrick, why on earth would you copy-and-paste a company memo onto the public forum? have you ever noticed a small print attached to all company puplications advising the recepient of the confidantiality of the company communications? give your friggin' head a shake! because it is disgusting......

I heard a Transat employess say recently that if the company could find some cheap Ilyushin aircraft, they would probably go for it! They don't know what the heck they want!

Another wise decision by Chorus management... But no worries they will get their bonus anyways...

Ca fait quand meme pitié...

Hey Gilles, you do realize your company was the first to bring over foreign pilots without reciprocal agreements through CJ? Sunwing was one of the groups that opposed it to the government. AT opened the door to WestJet Vacations and the foreign temporary workers. If your quickly losing market shar...

Bye bye pinnacle enter jazz, chorus, whatever they call themselves I sometime go to bed hoping that the next day people will stop creating rumors about Jazz. The working condition, benefit and work restriction of the Jazz employes have nothing to do with their US competitor. Remember that those car...
