Question about Rouge from ATC

[invertedattitude]

I didn't follow the developments all the way along...

Is Rouge operated by it's own working groups?

Are those working groups unionized?

Worked my first "Rouge" flight the other day, and these questions came to mind.

Any info appreciated.

Pilots are ACPA pilots
Fa's are all new hires represented by CUPE
Maintenance,Dispatch, ground handling is all done by Air Canada ( for now...)

Rogue employees work harder for less than their AC mainline brethren.

Is that right?

I'll try and remember that on the 48 hour layover in Athens, while on the beach.

Looks like everyone except for France and Swiss have figured out the "ROU" call-sign.

Are you denying it? Maybe you aren't working harder and have better layovers than domestic emb/320, but you are working with more liberal work rules with no augmentation on long flights and for lower hourly rates than a mainline pilot on the same equipment. It's a fact, don't forget it so we can work to fix it in 2016 because looking at the "model" CR is pushing for we may mostly all be there in the years to come.

Yeah, but they get fruit! Who needs augmentation when you get fruit?

How could I have missed it...

I would just like to say that I approve of this biodegradable, ecologically sustainable, renewable bikini top.

From an environmental point of view only, of course.
