Still triggered I see. Maybe you should go back to your WhatsApp safe space.
It's so obvious that guys like you (if not you exactly you), have turned our contract into a "concessionary -go nowhere- pile of loosely written trash".
Still hoping are you?....nothing to do with me. Waiting for the miracle that ALPA delivered to WJ, Jazz, and all the others to lift Air Canada pilots to the top quartile of North American airlines.
Think about that before you talk politics with your FO on a layover.
Nice try....not even a Captain...so maybe you need to think before your fingers start typing on Mom's computer.....
First off Kaffee, you slinging "Mom" jokes at a 57 year old (me) is pretty infantile. It tells me a lot about who you are, your age (relative) and your character. You not being a Captain after this long tells me even more.
I'm assuming you are a "long time" widebody FO that hides behind the apron of your Skipper. You don't like responsibility. Why should you be responsible for what has happened to WACON over the last 20 years? Why should you?
My bet is you don't fly with many pilots who are struggling to make ends meet in an expensive base supporting a young family. You don't want the "Company boat rocked" so you can continue to sell of the contract "piecemeal" and reap the benefits at others expense of those junior. You don't have to listen to their stories as yours is the only one that matters. The only story you hear consistently is the one of your Boomer Skippers. Multiple homes in Vancouver or on the Island. How great the last three decades have been for them. You guys are clueless to the struggle going on beneath you. You've been all about protecting the top end. Nothing else exists.
Real professionalism in this career (one that neither you, nor I made), includes leaving it in better shape than when you or I got here. We have watched the decimation of a relatively through contract over the last 20 years. It's a freaking disaster. Both you and I are responsible.
The least we can do is get out of the friggin way while the junior Membership tries to right a ship we were so determined to capsize to benefit anyone but them.
