Yes imho the dirty 30 did a pretty selfish act, stepping into our labour dispute for a direct left seat. We all know its dirty pool. That said it does nothing positive to carry it around. It hasn't done the AC folks any good with the CDN merger. Let's learn from that and move forward. Besides something tells me this will sort itself out soon enough. Keep it classy.
I suppose you are right KAG. The anger will act a poison long term. It’s frustrating to know that people like that exist who will always undermine our attempts to improve this industry, but it’s out of our hands now.

That said, Unlike the rest of my peers, I will not go out of my way to help them in any way shape or form. So I will call it neutral.

Forgive? Nah. Forget? Nah. Move on. No choice.

They will wear that scarlet S forever. They should wear it proud and brag about it. Why not. They earned it.

The arbitrator must agree that these 26 (or 30, whatever we wanna call it) took our jobs as indicated by his decision to pay 26 FO's captain rates until the original 26 are not in their position anymore. Who knows what September will bring... I have my wishes, but am satisfied with the decisions so far.

Oh, and stop trying to convince CSA's you can fly in WJ jumpseats.

I heard it was 10 first officers from encore took the 10 yhm spots but I’m not sure. I as well as my boy KAG have moved past the 30 and I accept whatever decision Kaplan brings forth whichever way it goes. I feel way better not caring at all about them personally to be honest. Best just move on to bigger fish to fry like scope. I see now we have a reserve system so be it. Can’t expect to want ac wages without an ac reserve system. This will take a while to implement though even upwards of a couple years. Will be interesting to see how the use seniority to make this work.

As for OTS at swoop. Like tbaylx said. If we have to go off the street then we do. We can’t fill them internally? That I think will change when the new work rules for swoop come into play. People will be willing to work there for more than $103 / hr . Plus rumours of other bases could interest some.

What seems to be left is the scope language. We offered 10 and the company is rumoured to want 20 so it will be 15 airplanes for swoop. Certainly not the 50.

Whether your team pink team teal or team teal light or team encore we all have to start rowing the boat in the same direction or this place won’t last anyways.

Time to move on.

Perhaps some of your high-school-girl angst would be better directed towards trying to reverse the 10% drop in your company's stock price rather than moaning about Swoop DEC's?

Just a thought.

Nice to see those out there are willing to look past blacklist and backstabs. Perhaps an apology is inorder for the original swoopsters? Any future blacklist/backstab in the future will just be a joke. GG canadian aviators GG.

YMMV.
Damn. So close.
