Re: More transport medical delays : PSAC strike

They might be striking but in reality, I'm sure a IT system designer could create an online system that works and replaces all of the TC medical processing for a pittance compared to their aggregate yearly salary. IT solutions to government bloat are becoming increasingly viable. Soon, CBDCs and bl...

Re: ‘‘Twas the night before ALPA

How have WJ pilots done under ALPA? Jazz? Bearskin.. lol? Haha... unions are a reflection of their membership.

Re: Negots Committee - Elephant in the room

Now we have 35% of the group turning out for the NC survey ?

Re: Seneca College delayed training times ?

Sault college had/has issues as well so it is not just them sadly. Look up Sault college here and other sites, parents sued the school for poor class size management. It’s government funded per student, so the more students the more funding. What was shocking though was a YouTube post by a student ...

If anything happens to Flair this will not be good for wage and working conditions in this country. I bet AC management is salivating over all these Boeing qualified guys being available soon.

Re: Are Air Canada pilots the lowest paid in the world?

Naturally to fix the pay problem at Air Canada and improve its pay, FOUR LOOONNNG years of flat pay have to disappear! That's where it starts! At the very least, that will raise the scale by four years. Everyone seems to focus so much on US pay, but they forget that the starting pay there is around...

Re: Poll: Is the Union Doing Enough?

I think he meant no stand ups and inefficient pairings. As in 1-2 short legs a day so your 4 days work is 18-20 credit hours. That sure is happening here. Working 17-18 days a month unless you’re in the top 10% where you can pick the few higher credit pairings. ah, still.. hated CDs when I was there
