Good luck to all, hope for a quick return.

I think it's 17-737s and 22-Q400s. 39 aircraft total.

Re: Cargojet stll hiring

I really hope no type rated people are taking the job at the current rates. You should be paid as short term contractor with your own deal. You are incredibly valuable to them since they are unable to train anyone and you will be leaving when the current glut of cargo flying is over. If they were st...

Or buy AC stock. Deal goes through it goes up. Deal doesn't go through it goes up. Win-Win-Win

WestJet and Swoop really have nothing in common with Lufthansa and GermanWings.

Re: Air Canada and Transat announce Increased Purchase Price to $18 per Share

I'm curious if most laid of Air Transat are actively trying to pursue new jobs or are waiting for this buyout to happen? It's fun to speculate on what might happen but if it stops someone from advancing their career in the meantime it be harmful to them. If the dream of being merged into the ACPA se...

Re: Air Canada and Transat announce Increased Purchase Price to $18 per Share

Has a seniority list merger ever happened during a layoff period? What happens then? I would say any pilot on layoff before the seniority list merger will remain on layoff. Even if pilots junior to them are merged into the list. ie. AC pilots will remain laid off while TS pilots are employed. Any a...

Perhaps the competition bureau will announce a delay in the report due to their workers being at home due to virus.

Re: Layoffs

There may be a silver lining in that layoff notice for Transat pilots. If their management truly believes the deal with AC is going through at the price negotiated there is no reason to continue operating the company while losing money hand over fist. Better to sit back and wait for your $750 millio...

Re: Layoffs

Flat pay should be flat. If it is X amount when you are busy it should still be X amount when you're not. That's a risk you take when you set up something like flat salary.
