Re: YVR Base Chair Recall

Based on my info, this is an outright lie. Pick up the phone, call one of the Councillors and ask them if this is true. (It's not). Based on my info, it’s not. Trying to make this about ALPA is quite literally a perfect example of the "distraction" the Councillors talk about in their letter. The Ch...

Re: YVR Base Chair Recall

The accusation that the LEC members were asked to resign because they didn’t wholeheartedly hop on the ALPA train is disturbing as I now question whether the councillors could be trusted to take an objective and measured approach to an issue as important as that. The decision on whether we join ALP...

Re: YVR Base Chair Recall

It’s on the ACPA website under the VCC, Montroyals bias is showing, I think the councillors literature is a formatting nightmare and doesn’t adequately convince me of why we should turf the LeC members and what exactly they would do better if in charge. Many of their accusations are broad based and...

Re: YVR Base Chair Recall

A friend of mine from the YVR Base showed me the "literature" from the Recall Vote. Can someone from YVR explain to me how one side offers a professional document while the other can't seem to figure out how to write emails or communicate without personal attacks?

No. That was KV.

Hard to imagine getting worse than him... yet somehow MM topped him.

I don't expect to see one until June at the earliest. That will put us back on the "normal" cycle. That said I can't see many changes, there's still a lot of vacancies that need to be filled by new hires.

Delta has announced they’ll start paying FA’s while boarding. If they only knew what we put up with to fly … https://amp.usatoday...

Re: Days off given while on the road

If we have to take days off on the road because of CARS requirements, they are hard days off. No calls, no work, drink all you want. We are then given the days back as lieu days to be booked off on the schedule. Fair deal I think. That actually sounds pretty good. Get a rest mid trip, and STILL get...

Even AC does this on overseas for 24 hours free from duty. Especially on the long 7+ day pairings. Truly NHL level regulations and working conditions.
