Flair won't fly our passengers.

Post by flyinhigh »

While all the talk is WestJet, our ULCC competitor Flair Air is in trouble now as well.

Good Luck Lads,

Flair Airlines: Urgent Membership Meetings and Strike Vote

May 7, 2018 at 5:00 PM


As a follow-up to the April 27th bulletin, your Flair Air Bargaining Committee recently met with the company from April 30-May 4, to work on proposals; however, the company had little to no appetite to take our proposals seriously. The company presented us with “an offer” that dealt with all of the outstanding items, yet the company failed to move on the important issues that matter most to our members "quality of life", and therefore, could not support presenting it to the membership.

We agreed to extend the conciliation process to midnight on Friday, May 4th, with hopes it would materialize in a tentative agreement unfortunately that did not come to fruition.

We are currently in a very difficult set of negotiations with Flair Airlines, we have advised the company that we will be asking the membership of Flair Airlines for a strike vote.

Hi.
AC runs with minimal crewing as it is.
We need to do our block and go home.
Unless they throw a bunch of wide body's on some domestic routes...but even then , short pilots...
The guys that pick those up in open flying are just greedy a-holes.
Stay united.

Another interesting Flair note...they've been consolidating flights due to low loads.

So curious to see how the expanded routes network will play out.

This is one of the reasons AC has an annual overtime limit in their CBA. I believe it was introduced because some pilots were flying overtime while fellow pilots were still furloughed.
