Re: How's morale with uncertainty of the one list?
Page 3 of the Merger Policy states, in part: The policy provides for its implementation using either of two methods. Under one method, the involved MECs may determine “at any time” (Part 2B 2) that it is in the best interests of their flight deck crew members to enter into agreements which provide f...

Re: How's morale with uncertainty of the one list?
Returning to primary sources, attached is the current ALPA merger policy, page 2. The authority for what the WJE pilot proposed is stated in the bottom three paragraphs: This policy establishes processes based on these premises, to be followed by pilot groups from the outset through the completion o...

Re: How's morale with uncertainty of the one list?
A WJE pilot sent me a message last night. He recognized that it seems highly likely that the WestJet Pilot Seniority List that Kaplan referred to has no Encore pilots on it. Further it seems to him that the list will likely have the names ordered by DOH (mainline). That said, he stated that I'm off ...

I think it's the 7th. I started out life here on Avcanada as Jonny Dangerous. But he's dead to me now.
Today I identify as China_CAAC_Exam.

He's back.
I feel somewhat qualified to answer the question, as I have some 900+ wingsuit flights.
The answer is no.

Re: How's morale with uncertainty of the one list?
I did a little more digging. At this point, I think the MEC's of both WJ and WJE have violated the terms of the ALPA Constitution and Bylaws. The WJ MEC admitted to the breach on Nov 2, 2018. From Your MEC Fellow pilots, "One List" Update In Washington, D.C., we held a joint MEC meeting with the Enc...

Re: WestJet pilots to fly Swoop aircraft
I would think the pilots hired for swoop will be given the option of joining the mainline. BOTL at encore at best. This flying belongs to our encore brothers/sisters. Actually, Kaplan gave OTS Swoop pilots DOH. Encore pilots who flow to WJ will get DOH. That's under ALPA rules. Under the WJPA, Enco...

Re: Minisiter of Transport M Garneau braggs about Swoop
Don’t engage Weedpro, waste of your time. Absolute embarrassment! Probably the best advice on here. I've tried to have meaningful respectful dialog with him but he just deflects and refuses to answer the question when cornered. Embarrassment is right! Francis, interesting that you claim I won't ans...

Re: Vote results.
That said, I think the chance of CB bending to ALPA are somewhere between 0% and 0.000001%. So, what is left is a strike or lockout (my money is on a lockout), that will be followed, at some point, by a legislated return to work. I hate to admit it but Weedpro called it. Hmm, not a particularly tou...
