I can totally see him saying something this stupid. He has said some pretty outrages things to AC ground-schools.

Re: New pay scale Aug 1 Dash and E2

I'd love to know how many applications are coming in from each airline. If Porter is opening YHZ with the jet, I wouldn't be surprised to see AC new hires from the East Coast resign and move over. I'm totally speculating of course but eliminating the commute from one's life to an operation that seem...

Re: Air Canada pilot not giving back the item I paid for nor my money

1) assuming that the OP's facts are correct, the parties entered into a contract and the seller is obligated to sell to the buyer at the agreed upon price. If you do that with a house you WILL get sued. No difference as a matter of law. 2) complaining on an aviation forum and wanting to complain to...

Re: How long until you hear back from AC?

Are you paid for the self study week? I don't think I got that.
Your official start date is the start of your home study. Yes you are paid for it.

Re: Denying Overtime

Blind faith in ALPA being some messiah is laughable. “ALPA” is just a name. The big change is the mentality of the pilots, allowing ALPA’s existence for AC’s pilots. You're entitled to that view point... I hope you're not disappointed in the long run. As you are to yours. But stating the change of ...

Re: Air Transat vs Air Canada

They went 11 straight quarters with a loss. That isn't concerning to me. If you look at the trend, the losses have been significantly reduced each quarter. I don't know what impact the delays and cancellations will have on the upcoming Q but I suspect the company will be back in the black very shor...

Re: Schedule satisfaction

Schedule satisfaction means different things to different people. If your days off are the most important thing to you, then one could say as long as you get all your days off you are 100% satisfied. Conversely if you only want long layovers in your fav spot one could say you are 100% satisfied if ...

Re: Air Canada Pilots Pull Out

Most people applying are doing so to get a seniority number to hedge their bets that flat pay will all but be eliminated on the next contract within the next year and/or a quick upgrade after a year. I would suspect that both bargaining parties are aware that applicants will fall off a cliff once p...

Re: End of hiring spree?

Flair will be resuming soon and Lynx is ongoing and Transat is also hiring. Don't think we will see a slo...

Re: Swoop is Over Party

The difference in the Swoop case though was that the pilots and other WestJetters didn’t chose to get a cat, dog or goat. It would be more like a man rented an apartment and his landlord said “hey, you need to have this cat, dog and goat come stay with you!” And the man responds, ya, that’s not a g...
