I think maybe this is what you're best suited for.

Pretty interesting considering WestJet pilots did the exact same thing.Canadaflyer46 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 19, 2023 8:34 amLikely one of the most embarrassing things I've ever read on this forum.

We took a 50% MMG and stayed at home getting paid for free for 2 months, but you took a "massive pay cut" according to ALPA. I think you're the one who should be embarrassed.The pilots had already made sacrifices to help the company survive during the pandemic, including agreeing to massive pay cuts.

Re: TA Passed
The pay cut I was talking to was the 3% pay raise FOs were given when inflation since 2020 is almost triple that.
A pay raise that doesn't at least match inflation is a pay cut.

Re: TA Passed
Here is the reason you should have fixed f/o rates when you had the chance. There is now a cadet program. How long will those guys PAY the airline to work for them while they are stuck on the crappy f/o scale.
Shame on the people who said "this is only a three year deal", "people upgrade immediately so you will never have to progress through it" . Those people are the ones who look at WestJet and Air Canada and say a disservice has been done to junior pilots, what this contract now does is even worse. Hubris would be nice to say ooops we dropped the ball. If not than a strong " I don't care about junior people, this was good for me". That's the stupid selfish crap dragging Canadian pilots down.
