AC does not have a YYC pilot base. So the company controls where LECs are no matter where actual pilots live? Crazy. I thought the union would want to control their own association What are you talking about? Can you show me where there are local reps at NON bases anywhere in any union, maybe the 2...

How many reps does Winnipeg have versus other bases? YVR & YUL have the same amount of voting reps as YWG YUL & YVR have a thousand plus members so 20 times plus as many but somehow have the same number of votes. So when the World Ass Contract was sent to the membership, YWG armed with a proxy had ...

AC can't even fill ground schools

How could they be turning anyone away at this point?

Show up to an event and they hand out the world class contract lanyard

I got mine at the Toronto picket

When someone comes on here and starts talking about "not repeating mistakes of the past", and they are from the past, they better be damn ready to reflect the damage done from the past But your assumption is that because the guy was "from the past" that he was involved in these mistakes. Further, e...

I'm not so sure about that Bede When someone comes on here and starts talking about "not repeating mistakes of the past", and they are from the past, they better be damn ready to reflect the damage done from the past Unity will come from some self assessment with a dose of truth & reconciliation. Bu...

Can someone tell me now $165 hr equals $200k per yr? 1000 hrs times $165 = $165,000 And that's a lot of legs in a Q400!! "Hardly sweating" :lol: And can someone tell me how after flying as a professional pilot for 15 yrs, $165k is that amazing Do we value ourselves that little that we think $165k is...

That isn't a huge concession. It has an expiry date. Anyone in the company can apply. And if that person is rejected, it needs to be explained to the union as to why. It literally says it runs concurrently with the collective agreement Not much of an expiry And contract worker = scabs Ask any profe...

Good times!

Motion passed easily & great to see everyone

There will now be an electronic vote to toss him

Meanwhile he is busy doing VO on full displacement

Sigh

I know where I'll be July 20th! Drinking refreshments and recalling the Chair Hopefully he enjoys the line again. He didn't seem to have any problem doing OT fully displaced Hold on a sec...whats happening on July 20th?! Recall of the Winnipeg Base Chair Any normal union person would have resigned ...

Drinking refreshments and recalling the Chair

Another interesting way of looking at the 400 million / 4 years, is that it would roughtly add about 2 dollar per ticket. 100 000 000 CAD / (700 flights per day * 365 days) / 180 passengers = 2.17 CAD per passenger per flight That would be a solid argument if pilot costs were the sole cost driver a...

I'm surprised some people on here aren't using Air Tajikistan, Kenya Airways and Air Cubana as comparables and saying if you don't like it, just be happy you don't fly for Air Afghanistan The Former YVR Base Chair who knew better than the recall results told me that he thinks we should be comparing...

See above

Taking concessions right now with leverage is a special kind of dumb

Then reading the contract language makes this a 'hell no'

This is a bit off, I assume money and QOL is something your worrying about or just something else. Please do a favour this is my suggestion, rethink the decision that your making if your not comfortable at the main carrier look at others that suits your needs. Moving to the US especially in times w...

SportingRifle,

Why don't you ask your buddy- the YVR Base Chair

Probably try email and he can call you back. He has tough reception from his cabin and it's summer. He is enjoying his decade away from the flight line

Tick tock Blake & Quinn...

If the membership doesn't want you representing you, and you stick around, are you hanging in there for your management buds?

Having read both myself, pretty clear Sharklaser didn't read the Councilors stuff The Base Chairs talk about "Personal Attacks" while going on the attack themselves. Then use trigger words like "ALPA" without any basis of truth. I messaged a Councilor about this and it is confirmed - a total LIE Thi...

Blake was the first to the 82 hrs trough when the 600 furloughs were let go and the rest went to 55 hrs. He was more than happy to support that sketchy Hong Kong operation so the base could "capture" some flying. Too bad some NHL pilots ended up in quarantine camp. I guess it didn't effect him too m...

It sounds like the Conflict of Interest motion was put to rest after YUL & YVR realized the members were pissed when they heard that they were attempting to seize control of the MEC An eye opener for the membership moving forward on what these guys will do to work with management With management? T...

Fanblade wrote: ↑Tue Apr 19, 2022 7:21 pm That makes more sense than thinking they are happy with the representation.

It is also eerily similar to YVR.

Blake has made a career out of it

Not a bad deal to be on full displacement with 777C pay and paid commutes & hotels

Dan & Blake will cost the membership hundreds of millions if they are around in 2024 Their names are stained all over the place of pushing sub par contracts when times are good & concessions when there is the stability of a 10 year deal If they were your financial advisor they would quite literally ...

Be careful playing into the game of divisions. "Old vs young" "DB pension vs CWIPP" Etc This all plays into the strategy of the company. They love divisions. It's disheartening to see the old guard of the YVR & YUL chairs with support of their vices prop up this philosophy of pro division & anti cha...
