That would make so much more sense. About 50% of the Sunwing people I fly with spend the majority of the pairing complaining and whining about this and that. Everytime I see a 43xxx employee number in my pairing, i gotta pump myself up for what's to come. Some of them are terrific people who I'd sp...

Westjet was sold out first, so what are you suggesting about Westjet? Nothing. WJ was highly profitable and ONEX paid big for it and promptly drove it into the ground. My point on Sunwing is that the vacation market has very small margins which has resulted in many carriers having issues. Not sure ...

Things are looking up I would say.... Mark my words - Flair is going to become Sunwing 2.0 Careful. Sunwing 2.0 sounds lovely however even they struggled financially. If everything was roses for them they would not have sold out. Westjet was sold out first, so what are you suggesting about Westjet?

Flair can definitely chip away at the Ontario and Quebec vacation market. I wonder if Sunwing Vacations has an exclusivity agreement with Westjet, or perhaps Royalton Resorts flying their guests down.

You can have any base, as long as it's YVR

I wonder if Westjet would break up into separate OC's? Somehow protect the rest of the operation, Westjet being the current Alberta operation, and the rest forming a new airline? With tighter ties to the US, perhaps wages would go up for those that remain in Alberta. Either way, Alberta separation w...

Like any other airline ever

no, the opposite of most, including Westjet previously

to me it looks like Westjet is overstaffed in the summer and understaffed in the winter. Interesting.

Unless the next CEO is a solid outsider, I can't see the stock rallying because of that, but I'm curious as to why as well.

Honestly, this is Brutal. Airline Pilot job started out, like the Skilled Trades today. You could say and do anything, and keep your job. Slowly, the employment pool became more saturated, and the rules involved in the profession, driven by Employers and the Government became more stringent. Now, w...

As mentioned in the report, no hotels were available in that location. The guy was being a dick about it, and it probably wasn't the first time. Exactly correct. I'm not defending the company, but sometimes their hands are tied too, as in this case. The correct thing to do in this case is to go for...

He wanted to go and choose his own food, the company was in violation of the collective agreement and inflexible on providing options, he made a goofy protest order to make a point. I don't read racism in it. Only the people that are combing everything with the goal to raise a capital case on ident...

It also came from the Boeing FCTM. If that's arbitrary then I have no words.

Gerry doesn't want to spend money because he thinks an IPO is around the corner ...

Thanks guys. It is nice to finally see some intelligent posts. I’m sure no procedure is perfect. I suspect that those opposed to binding arbitration tend to be those on both the employee side and management side with unreasonable expectations. Addition to an earlier post about statements I made ear...

Don’t time to research but, I seem to recall final offer binding arbitration not going so well for AC pilots and binding arbitration awarding Swoop 30 fins to WJ. I can’t ever recall a time when arbitration was fair towards the employee group when specifically dealing with airlines. Don’t have to l...

If this happens, Flair pilots will have the privilege of flying modern 737's like the old 200's. Don't forget to say thank you, Flair pilots. Climb Thrust Level Change! And/or the privilege of flying with former SWG pilots setting some arbitrary N1 settings for go arounds (with no corresponding cli...

Dubai supermarket shelves are increasingly empty - no idea how they're going to get food into the UAE. Hundreds of thousands trying to get out - currently no way to do so. It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion. Jmho. The economic fallout will be huge - I expect the Dubai property market t...

Sure. USA. Many other foreign airlines in other parts of the world, not just Emirates. Working in Canada as a non-resident and commuting. Or simply working at a major in Canada and doing lots of overtime or working the system, you won't be far off at all. Sorry, but Emirates isn't the only way to m...

Let's not be too quick to celebrate Emirates' pay. The only reason it's good is due to no income tax. Thankfully there are many other ways to achieve a similar or better result. So? are you going to list the "many" other ways to achieve "better" or even "similar" results? Sure. USA. Many other fore...

Where are these so called experienced pilots going to go? One or two might go overseas, but let's be honest, 99% will stay and simply be grumpy.

As predicted , with as much bad PR and damage to their brand Westjet cancels their density initiative. A stupid failed live experiment that now has done immense damage to their brand. I wonder who the board of directors is gonna fire , most like Alexis Von hoensbroech Except the board of directors ...
