There were always airlines and pilots that "lower the bar", undercut the next guy.Donald wrote: ↑Mon Jan 15, 2018 8:45 pm Where was the blacklist for:
Jetsgo
Enerjet
Sunwing
Flair
Encore
Any other airline that has "lowered the bar".
I get that WJ pilots are upset by Swoop, but this blacklist nonsense has to stop.
Unless you are willing to start building a pilot compensation fund for anyone who ends up unemployed and not hired at WJ or AC.
But here you have management outright end running their own pilot group (a pilot group that by all accounts has been extremely productive and accommodating to building how many consecutive quarters of profit?) with scabs flying the same airplanes.
Anyone going to this hastily put together entity, not only works for less and hurts our profession, but most significantly also actively undermines the collective bargaining process of the Westjet Pilots.
Scabs. Not guys just trying to get a better job. Scabs hurting another group. They ought to think about their choices and be aware they are being used... of course some won't give a shit.
How about a DC9 Captain at AC? Similar work and all.
This is why the term scab is being thrown around. From Section 10 of WestJet's 2015 Pilot Agreement.
"All aircraft operated by WestJet, WestJet Encore, its subsidiaries, affiliates and/or any entity in which WestJet has effective and/or operational control must be flown by pilots as listed in the WPDL."
This contact is presently frozen until a CBA is ratified. The story is just beginning.
