I think there are enough sunwing bashing threads already. I don't see the purpose of this one.
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic.Rogerdodger2 wrote:They're all jealous. They wish they worked for one of the fastest growing most profitable companies in Canada. I love the comments from Timel, "cut market prices" what a joke. My guess is you work for a company that uses wide bodies on a narrow body route. Just because your management group is inept doesn't make the cost of that ticket the "Market Price". Big Red is the true undercut specialist.
Silly thread started by small people who's opinion no one cares about.
But then again we can all act that way.

I do not think many, if any, Canadians are keen on TFW's but it is a new reality to deal with. Labour is a global commodity, and willing to work for a lower wage than Canadians are accustomed to. Companies are competing globally and will source out the lowest cost of labour they can find. Hell, factories are moving from China to Africa as Chinese labour is becoming expensive. I'm not familiar as to how Sunwing operates their staffing, but unfortunately this will not be a Sunwing only issue going forward.timel wrote: I have no business against SW, I just do not agree with TFW and I am sure loads of pilots for SW are against it.
The only reason of existence for the TFW program is to fill up a lack in labour, not to reduce operational costs with all of those captains or fos of 4000 hours, that are used to pay to for the renewal of their ppc in order to keep their jobs.dazednconfused wrote:I do not think many, if any, Canadians are keen on TFW's but it is a new reality to deal with.

http://www.esdc.gc.ca/eng/jobs/foreign_ ... ghts.shtmlReorganizing the TFWP
Using Wage Instead of National Occupation Codes
Wage levels will now replace National Occupational Classification as the main criteria for administering the TFWP, as wages constitute a more accurate reflection of occupational skill level and local labour market conditions.
Jobs for which wages are below the provincial or territorial median wage will be considered “low-wage,” while those being paid at or above the provincial/territorial median will be considered “high-wage.”
