Re: Strike vote
After three failed airlines, this company has given me continued employment for 15+ years. I was hired by WJ, and I am paid by WJ.
I did note vote for ALPA, I am not a member of ALPA. The law says I do not have to obey any orders ALPA issues to its members.
My loyalty resides completely and unequivocally with my employer. As such, I will be reporting for work each and every day that my employer requests I do so, regardless of ALPA’s position.
A word of caution to those who will disagree with my actions. The Respect in the Workplace policy at WJ is clear. If any employee attempts harassment against me and there is proof, the consequences include anything up to and including termination. Conduct yourself accordingly...

As a new(er) member of WestJet who came here wanting the same prosperous career you have had here, I’m hoping we can put all the guarded and pointed posts aside for a few moments and talk pilot to pilot.
The current path being taken by wj managemnt is the end game of my career here at WJ. 10 tails going to Swoop is just the beginning. I haven’t been here long enough to survive another 20. Layoffs will come at one point in time.
Go back 15ish Years (I forget how long you’ve been here), what would the taste in your mouth be? I am working for the company I’ve always wanted to and now, boom. My future is gone/fading VERY fast.
Secondly, are you ok with new co-workers facing this path? We all have a little selfish side to us but at the end of the day, I do care about the lively hoods of everyone I work with.
Cheers

Re: Strike vote
The end result of the current path is hundreds of unemployed people. Swoop is growing more than they ever said and the plans for it are aggressive. WestJet will shrink.cloak wrote: ↑Thu Apr 26, 2018 8:39 pmAlthough it cannot always be taken too literally, meaning one has to consider the total aggregate.

"Swoop won't replace WestJet flying" they said.
Replace = "take place of".
Look up YXX-YWG this summer and see who's flying it. Swoop is replacing Westjet flying.
...
And speaking of office people, keep in mind if there is no flying some of the other folks will not have much to do and likely will be furloughed...Strike is almost never a good thing, neither is an arbitration ever going to be better than a negotiated agreement.
If I’m going to be unemployed in the future, I’d rather take two weeks without pay right now to defend my future job.

I’m very curious, how does the above mentioned profit sharing and stock purchase compare to AC profit sharing and stock purchase(ESOP) program, also AC has an actual pension plan. How would your retirement scheme compare to AC? Comparing total compensation is that, compare total compensation. AC pays 100% of the benefits, so I’m thinking you’re behind industry standard unless you’re comparing bottom feeders like Flair which is small potatoes at this point.
Re: Strike vote
Yes he is wrong of course. WJ total package doesn’t compare to AC total package. Especially if you factor in YOS.
WJ isn’t a bad gig but to say it’s above industry standard is a joke.
I would assume he’s just trolling in that I would assume all WJ pilots have at least 1 buddy at AC and know the difference. Or at least know a guy that knows a guy.

Re: Strike vote
Privileged White Men Take Corporation and Customers Hostage
Regarding the quoted passage above, here's the actual article that appeared on Germany's DW website, regarding the Lufthansa pilots:
Opinion: Lufthansa's pilots are overreaching
Frequent strikes by Lufthansa's privileged pilots amount to a form of blackmail against passengers, and harm the company that already pays them extremely well, says DW's Manuela Kasper-Claridge.
At this moment, thousands of Lufthansa airline passengers are waiting at airports in Germany or elsewhere in the world, hoping their flight will leave as scheduled, so they can get on with their lives. But today, Lufthansa's Airbuses won't be flying - because highly-paid German pilots are once again on strike. The reason: The pilots' union, Vereinigung Cockpit, is of the opinion that an average annual salary of 180,000 euros is simply not enough. With their series of strikes - today's is the 14th in the union's ongoing wage-bargaining dispute with management, which began two and a half years ago - these high-flying luxury pilots appear to be doing everything they can to ruin the airline they work for.
Stormy international competition
Although pilots famously need to have 20-20 vision to qualify for their jobs, it seems these gentlemen flight-captains - very few of them are ladies, after all - are having trouble seeing the world with clear eyes. The fact that the financial air is getting ever thinner for their employer Lufthansa seems to have escaped them entirely. Competition in international aviation is not only rough; it's stormy. Low-cost airlines and the state-subsidized companies of the Persian Gulf are taking business away from unsubsidized established airlines such as Lufthansa. The German airline is one of the most expensive in terms of ticket prices, not least because it carries a lot of baggage on its balance sheet. One of the most important pieces of baggage is composed of a roster fat with highly privileged aircraft operators with extremely generous contracts stemming from a time when there was less competition. Their salary and benefit packages can reach 300,000 euros per annum, and flight captains can retire at ages as young as 55 - 12 years younger than the normal German retirement age. Lufthansa pilots are among the best-paid in the industry. Congratulations!
And now, we passengers are supposed to feel solidarity for these poor dear Lufthansa pilots - because they'd really like to have a little more pay. Twenty percent more, to be precise. That's not a disproportionate demand in a difficult market environment, according to their union. After all, Lufthansa has lately made billions in net revenues. What's left unsaid is that rather a lot of that money is earmarked for the modernization of the company's fleet.
Abstruse demands
Sorry, gentlemen. One cannot have much sympathy for your demands. Especially not in view of the chutzpah with which you've been trying to push them through. A very small number of very well-paid men are making life difficult for a very large number of airline passengers, because they're really only interested in their own advantage. The pilots don't want to negotiate anymore, and certainly don't want to submit their wage dispute to independent arbitration. No, they'd rather expose their own employer to financial and reputational harm, and expose Lufthansa's clients to the sort of inconveniences associated with getting stranded in foreign airports when you've got to be at an important meeting on another continent the next day.
All over the world, each time the pilots stage one of their strikes, people have to reschedule meetings or holidays, sort out delays, and apologize to inconvenienced business associates, friends or relatives. The people affected face a choice: They can thank the pilots and send a note of solidarity to the Lufthansa pilots' union, or they can resolve to fly with a different airline next time - maybe with one of the discount airlines, like Ryanair, whose captains earn a base rate of 62,000 euros a year. The discount airlines' jets aren't as comfortable as Lufthansa's airliners, but they generally leave on time.
************************************************************************************************************************
Another point of view expressed by ALPA proponents at WJ is that there is no way that the company will allow the airplanes to sit idle and lose millions per day as a result of a strike. That is possible, though it may came as the result of government intervention. And if it does come to pass that airplanes do sit idle, what is the union's fall back plan if the company does not capitulate, but rather starts layoffs among the rest of the company's employees instead, and tries to break the resolve of union members? Or locks out union members on the 19th?
I don't know the answers to the above questions. I do know that when was was declared in Ahugust 1914 between Great Britain and Germany, there was cheering in the streets as most thought the war would be over by Christmas.
I do hope that all ALPA members will think with clear heads on the possible repercussions against the pilot group. I wonder if the C.O.B (C.B.) will use the opportunity of a strike vote to extract maximum punishment from the pilot group on May 19 so as to serve as a warning to the other employee groups within WJ. Time will tell.
The above is an article that could be written by a reporter in today's woke environment. Unions resort to the violent action of a strike, hoping to win sympathy with a company's customers and and force the company to capitulate to union demands in the face of punishing financial losses. The latest talking point being spread by ALPA's members at WJ, and I've heard this personally, is that a strike vote is "just part of the negotiation process". That's possible, I suppose. Vereinigung Cockpit, Lufthansa's pilot union, went on strike 14 times in 3 years (2014-2016). That was quite a process.Sorry, gentlemen. One cannot have much sympathy for your demands.

I respect your loyalty but I'd like your opinion on the latest info. According to the recent meetings, the company is proposing reserve, 19 days work, no OT until 87.5hrs. This would mean that your days of huge T4's would be all but over. This is the return on loyalty that the company is giving you. It seems like an awfully one sided relationship- you defend them at the cost of your relationship with your colleagues and in return they want to cut your wages.
