Re: What should happen to the Yes voting members of the MEC?

As this "World Class Contract" ages like a rotten diarrhea dump fermenting in the tank of a B777 out of Delhi, what should the members that voted 'Yes' do? Resign? Get recalled? Go into hiding? Post a selfie about some shit about "Moving Together"? Maybe another video from the hills of the Taliban ...

Re: Porter vs AC

With less than optimal load factors porter is not making enough money to keep the first fins past heavy check. Their aircraft orders are to ensure a revolving door of new fins to replace the older ones. Having AC buy them has been Deluce’s game plan since their inception. Won’t happen. As for the e...

Re: ACA starting position

1 year starting from when you're line checked. Don't forget you have to interview with your managers to get off it as well. So at least 2 yrs. Some on the union never had this probationary release interview! Quite the dog and pony show. No. It was 15 months for me and the probation release was not ...

ALPA unity and over age 65 Question

Some Canadian ALPA carriers allow over 65+ in the right seat.

When AC ratifies ALPA from ACPA, would these pilots be offered the same opportunity? Because then if all carriers become ALPA, the optics translate to age discrimination.

Thoughts?

Re: ALPA Petition

Same old anti ALPA fear mongering, somehow a merger between Jazz and AC would go DOH. Christ, the Canadi>n Pilots didn't get DOH and they had 747-400's and a superior route structure. AC has hired hundreds (probably a thousand) Jazz pilots over the last few years through a negotiated flow through, ...

Re: Upcoming Global Economic Downturn

I agree there will be a big downturn especially in Canada where the housing market is going to crash. Current expectations are now looking at 5-6% interest rates at the central banks which means mortgages are going to be 7-8%. If anyone has doubts as to what that will do to the Canadian economy you...

Re: ALPA is not the answer, current ACPA isn't either

You’re absolutely correct, the contract is sh!t at Jazz. You’ve got an ALPA union of a regional carrier competing against both ACPA and AC management. 2 against 1 will lose every time. Post Covid we can compare the track records of each union, ALPA vs. ACPA. ALPA appears to firing on all cylinders ...

Re: How did Air Canada end up with embarrassing pay?

The union thinks they are intelligent as Steven hawking but in reality, all you’re dealing with is spineless individuals. The company isn’t that bad. They want to change flat pay. The union wants to revisit the contract in its entirety versus address inflationary pressures on the most junior members...

Re: What to expect as a new Fo.

Lowest paid 330 FO on Earth I can’t comment on whether he will be lowest paid 330 FO on earth. But, he won’t be the lowest 330 pilot after the flat pay is finished. There are worse positions to be in in aviation than sitting in the right seat of a 330 on flat pay. He, and every other pilot, knew wh...

incorrect, they need to accept 90% of the those applicants from Jazz in that pool
What’s the difference?
So they should hire up to 70% of new hire slots from jazz with a 10% overall turndown rate
Why 10% overall turndown rate? Does Murray want the accidents and incidents to increase?

Did ACPA know these 23 pilots were vocal about joining ALPA at cj?
