No one wants anyone to have a bad career but we are not willing to sacrifice our own well being for the Transat pilots.
If the virus goes own and the effects of the downturn are long lasting then the metrics of the merger will no longer make sense and Transat pilots will have the opportunity to remain an independent airline like they were routing for this whole time. Sounds like a win all around.
+1 bro! these trampsat pilots need to stfu. making themselfs look bad. I n every pilot here has worked hard to get here an our hiring board saw us as the best of the best. they just be mad. we ain't giving up easy. never!
"ACboi"....."bro"..... "they be mad"......lol....you must be a drake wannabe...you listen too much of that gangsta rap driving to the airport. The best of the best? Hmmmmmm......i won't even bother commenting. You are ridiculous enough. Before you ask, nah i am not a transat pilot, not an AC pilot and not interested in being one....."stfu" :goodman:

You guys all realize that ACboi and Habslover are clearly trolls right? Neither likely works for AC or Transat?
ACboi isn’t even trolling the point. No AC pilot is saying we are better because we were hired at AC.
We are saying we will vigorously defend our own careers.

Could say the same for the Air Canada stock? Dropped below 20. Would it be around that right now without the potential Transat deal? Or would it not be less?

Sincere question....I'm no financial guru

The market is pricing in the risk associated with AC vacating the transaction.

All the large carriers are re-evaluating liquidity using realistic forecasts on revenue decline and cash run rate. AC is doing the same.

Here is that update from AC:

Interesting press release.
Furthermore, the acquisition of Transat A.T. Inc. is subject to regulatory approvals and certain customary conditions, and there are no assurances that the acquisition will be completed as described in Air Canada's 2019 MD&A or at all.

Didn't you hear that in the future there will be only be one pilot and one dog in the flight deck. The pilot's job is to feed the dog and the dog's job is to bite the pilot if he touches any of the controls. :rolleyes:

Careful rudder... guys don't like market facts explained on this thread.

Also - still standing by on someone quoting what I wrote that was so awful or personal attacking Transat pilots...

It might be more prudent to short the shares at this juncture.

You had me worried for a bit. That quote is from the Caution on Forward Looking Statements and has been for months. Nothing new.

Market cap at closing $245MM.

$600MM cash on hand? How much will that be in 90 days?

AC agreed to pay $720MM? Including how much assumed debt?

The math does not add up.

p.s. SWG just issued lay-off notice to every single pilot and FA. My guess is they do not have cash to burn. Does TRZ?
