I question the logic of depending on something that has been repeatedly shown to be unreliable. Out of curiosity do you think it's the strike that's proven unreliable or the government stepping in and stopping the strike? If the government didn't interfere like that the strike would probably be qui...

I think he's right, maybe a bit on the cynical side, but I've never flown with anyone on the new pension who wanted to stick there till retirement. Throughout my entire life I have only one regret - Working at Jazz. Go literally anywhere else and apply direct to WS/AC/TS One regret your ENTIRE life...

Not many 777/787 RP spots going to new hires going forward, read none. Too many mat leave returns coming back to work part time in the back seat. You can expect to join as a NB FO with a 30 month freeze before you will be allowed to bid down in position. A down bid to RP after that will penalize yo...

The only reason you “spend a career” at jazz now is if you got PFOd literally from everyone else. But don’t listen to me, just go ahead and give it a go, you’ll be able to make your own deductions in like 3 months. I don't know what skeletons you have in your closet from your employment with Jazz b...

Many years ago when I was at Jazz, a wise old captain told me how he had turned down an offer from AC because everyone was sure that the CIRB would merge AO with AC and he'd get elevated seniority at AC. Sounds a lot like this thread. Things change. And so did ACs interference and direct interventi...

contractually, 30% of AC new hires has to come from JAZZ.. Historically, it wasn't a guarantee. See ULP post

Absolutely. Attrition to AC is outstripping hiring in a hurry. Not sustainable. What’s the plan? Going down to 80 tails next year. 25 E175 25 Q400 and 30 CRJ so I’ve been told. I am certain that was always the plan. And with the reduction is transborder passenger traffic, AC Commercial is likely re...

I have a question as an outsider, I was surprised that even though both the pilot and FA group work for the same company, there weren’t really any pilots at the strike? For all the people complaining about section 107, it was weird to see not much solidarity I saw pilots there. I can only speak for...

Next PIT —> sept 10th

Calls were done around august 10-15.

And also, there are no RPs out there that have 8 weeks of training. They have years and years of flignt training and have held multiple jobs to aquire thousands of flight hours before they could even apply for that job. it's a bad comparison. Not to forget the RP does the same training and tests as...

One thing is for sure, the FA group is far more tenacious and headstrong (ballsy) than AC pilots can ever dream to be. Your FAs have now made you look like wimps and your sudden capitulation at the wrong time in your own negots are revealing of the inadequacies of your group and the false confidenc...

I don't want anyone else to have to go through that, and the FAs certainly aren't. They are getting total compensation close to 50 thousand dollars on year one and receiving every benefit you can possibly receive. As a first job with no required education or skills. Its an amazing compensation offe...

What does that mean for those who aren’t express

Is this going to delay or simply just PFO those who are in the running but not express ?

Don't worry, they only need 30% of their new hire from jazz and hasn't been honoring that number usually

You're not the first helicopter pilot I've seen applying for a major airline. Does the experience translate well? Not sure hence why I am asking. I would think so. King Air captain for close to 1300 hours, 90 survey for the first 600 mainly pic. Been flying IFR Helo for the past bit both as sic and...

Heres an idea... Since you and Altiplano are so bothered by flight attendants because they won't sleep with you, you guys can just screw each other 8) Thanks for the laugh but very happily married. From what I saw of the Picket Line, Jenny Craig should have set up a booth. That’s hilarious. Want to...

+1 I would like to think lessons have been learned but I also don't have high hopes. We have seen CUPE do more for AC employees in 3 days than ALPA has in 3 years. We saw a union president demonstrate real leadership and courage to inspire his members and assure them they wouldn't be quit on as soo...

The public should be very concerned whether the flight attendants can keep them safe in an emergency. They were ordered back to work 2 days ago but still don’t understand what that means, will they not understand when the Captain calls a order to evacuate? Don’t blame the Carney government, I belie...

Will the cirb cover the ULP before the return to work order under article 107, or they get expedited treatment because it affects the corporation’s bottom line. Well considering the CIRB handed a decision down within one day on a SUNDAY and the ULP has been ongoing since the harm happened 3 years a...

What a weird time and place for people in a profession that requires no degree and tops out at >$300k to tell their colleagues in a profession that requires no degree that they don't deserve $100k. Nobody said anything about a degree, no prerequisites or same qualifications as a Starbucks or Tim Ho...

Just a matter of time. Curious how much AC would lose per day if they did shutdown though? Does that mean pilots are at risk of being stranded too? Hopefully Mike gets the boot if this all heads south Pilot can still fly those plane back home if they are stuck somewhere, assuming there's a plane at...

Yesterday's "Day of Action" was considered by the union to be a great success. The latest update from the union says that the company has stopped negotiating and requested to proceed to interest arbitration. The union has rejected this. Strike notice can be given as of midnight tonight, with the ea...

Unfortunately we still have ex-Jazz Pilots that are convinced they will move 1000 numbers up the seniority list. Along with that belief, comes a massive chip on their shoulder. Hopefully you get some sort of monetary compensation, but the seniority list is not changing. You don't know that. No one ...

It’s only Numbers!

If Trump taught us one thing, it’s that numbers can be read in many ways
