Unlike most large Airlines, this one has zero respect for the Pilots. Right from the top executives through the entire employee group. I don't think it is as bad as Westjet, but pretty close.

The "Canadian Way" - we are all equal - skill, training, licensing and education mean nothing, unless you are at the Executive / Management level.

I predict when this gets voted down there will be no returning to the table. They have proven how vindictive they can be when the corp doesn't get their way.

Hold the line and hope for a 90% "NO VOTE."

Regardless of the result of the vote, the table is being set for normal course bargaining in 2023.

The outcome of the current MOA ratification vote or any potential MOA 2.0 ratification vote will most certainly affect both the agenda and the tone for normal course bargaining in 2023.

JJ is a moron, a corporate shill who needs to get the boot in my opinion.
I'm sure the negotiating team for the American Airlines pilots, or the UPS pilots, or the Southwest pilots share your learned opinion. :roll:

You feel you'd be getting completely different advice if we had the E&FA folks from ALPA at the table? You know, the ones that JJ hired and trained?

JJ has a much greater obligation to his American contracts. They pay more, and we are small beans. You think AA or SWA would like it if JJ said "Yeah AC pilots you should be comparable to American pilots!" Of course not. Because then management at SWA and AA will use that against his money maker clients.

Oh man, keep digging.

I hate to break it to you, but they don't care much south of the border what we make in Canada.

Yea that’s why they refer to us as ‘the pirates of the Atlantic’ cheapest legacy carrier pilots in the western world.

Company compares us to a LCC and a vacation charter company. And we let them get away with it a decade of Yes voters.

93.3% voter turnout. Is that a record? Must be close for an MOA vote.

80% no, 20% yes. It's a strong no, but I wish it would have been over 90%.

Wow. Pretty clear.

You cannot send same NC back in.

Wait for MEC to be reconstituted in the new year and look at NC composition and agenda.

It is what it is.

MGMNT 10
ACPA 1

At least it is a good start.

This bid will be going in the garbage, if it's not already there.

Wow Great unity show by the AC pilots for the junior pilot.
The 4 years flat pay stay. (or 5 and a half for the furlough guy) What a great achievement, What a chance the junior pilot have to stay another 4 years on flat pay, must feel great for them right now!
And good to be in Westjet Encore, they will stay our main pilot feeder, Sorry Jazz guys...You just get F.... really hard on that one.

I am glad it makes you smile, and As said before , I was not expecting the vote to go to yes for the reasons I stated in previous post. So I am not upset. But it seemed you don't like my post because at the end, Everybody is preching for his own church...This has nothing to do with Unity. It is about one group who would have their conditions really improved and another group where their conditions would have been a bit worse.
And I m not on Flat pay so It is not affecting me. I think about guy on flat pay who really struggle. We could have put the flat pay out with this MOA .
