Answer them?
Nope
This smells like a dumpster fire trying to be put out by a cotton curtain. All good pls look away,
Don't you want to know?
Two reps in Yul want clarification on spending our money. They can't release but have legitimate questions.
Did you read the yul Ames? It's true, nothing answered.

Re: Time to end this circus: Claude has to go
ACA MEC (particularly YUL reps) think Claude is trash, other ALPA carriers wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole (look at Canada Board election) and a strong contingent of Jazz pilots are realizing maybe high end kitchens, Lincolns and paid Hawaiian vacation aren't in their best interests.
He is done.
He is done.
Re: Time to end this circus: Claude has to go
Message from Yul FO Rep.
To the pilots of the Montreal base,
I know you have noticed my name missing from some recent YUL LEC communications, and I want to share and explain my position with you.
I believe that our actions as elected representatives always have a potential impact on the pilot group as a whole and, therefore, need to be made thoughtfully.
My discomfort in bringing the actual discussion to the public space comes from the fact that I do not believe this discussion first happened within the MEC. I think that should have been the initial step.
Any accusation of financial wrongdoing is a serious matter and must, therefore, be taken seriously. Let me be clear: I expect accountability if any wrongdoing has occurred. But without context, even what we might perceive as “fact” does not say much.
I am still engaged with both sides of this discussion, even when we might not agree, because the pilot group deserves to have its best interests served, especially when most of your MEC’s work currently revolves around the ULP process with the CIRB.
I am available to hear your thoughts and questions, even if you disagree with my current position.
In solidarity,
Frédéric Poissant
Représentant des premiers-officiers et Vice-Président JAZ 220 LEC
First Officer Representative and Vice-Chair JAZ 220 LEC

Re: Time to end this circus: Claude has to go
Respectfully I think keeping a serious issue "in house" and behind closed doors is a dangerous prospect and position to take. Especially when numbers are still not being released and the explanations given lack credibility and specificity. Wtf?
Re: Time to end this circus: Claude has to go
Who cares what the ACA reps think of him. It isn't like it would matter if they loved him. They would never give anything if they didnt get anything in return, no matter how much they loved our guy. So I am quite okay with them not liking him.Chateau wrote: ↑Tue Apr 29, 2025 2:33 pm ACA MEC (particularly YUL reps) think Claude is trash, other ALPA carriers wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole (look at Canada Board election) and a strong contingent of Jazz pilots are realizing maybe high end kitchens, Lincolns and paid Hawaiian vacation aren't in their best interests.

Re: Time to end this circus: Claude has to go
I think the point is no one likes him outside of a few Jazz hardcore loyalists who don't mind union dues going to Lincolns & trips to Hawaii

Re: Time to end this circus: Claude has to go
That’s a fluffy communication reeking of complete inexperience and shying gently away from the stinking mess pile next to him that he ignores to address in his message. He knows it’s bad. Very bad. It’s obvious. And so do others on the MEC.
If I had a dollar for every dollar the chairman spent on this office project, I’d probably have just shy of $1900000 dollars. Yes, almost two million.
2 hundred and what days in hotels? Someone loves their Marriott points. That’s gotta be $55K/year or more for a lot of years. And an infinite amount of free stays across the globe from them points. But not in Honolulu. Charge that shite dummy, cause Jazz pilots are morons! Plus I’ll get even more points!
Chairman expenses up 20% with 400 less pilots? Which were already egregious. Bahhh, not a problem. See above. Specifically “Morons”.
I guess JAZ ALPA is a Fortune 500 company now. The revenue is pilot dues. It’s fascinating.

Re: Time to end this circus: Claude has to go
Well considering CB lives in YUL, and the MEC offices are in YYZ, it’s not a big surprise. If anything it shows he spends more time away from home than any other pilot in the company.Cypresshill wrote: ↑Tue Apr 29, 2025 9:05 pm That’s a fluffy communication reeking of complete inexperience and shying gently away from the stinking mess pile next to him that he ignores to address in his message.

Perhaps you’d rather a lame duck MEC that does nothing but bend over and take it up the ass from the company like AC pilots had with ACPA for 20 years.
The fact is, the YUL cry babies sent their info to all the reps and several levels of ALPA, and they all said nothing there. I put more trust in the national oversight process than a single rep and his lap dog.

Re: Time to end this circus: Claude has to go
YUL Pilots,
We are not confused about the directives we were given by the YUL pilots on April 15, 2025.
You gave us motions that were clear and unambiguous.
You directed us to recall the MEC executive due to your mistrust of their handling of your business.
You directed us to get a cost comparison to validate the renovation of the ALPA office and the purchase of a vehicle, which was made to reduce spending.
We made several requests by email to the MEC executive chair to obtain:
1) A cost comparison of the office renovation/vehicle purchase to validate we are truly saving money for the pilots as promised by the MEC executive.
2) An explanation of 4 trips to Honolulu that he charged to the MEC budget.
To date, the MEC executive chair has not responded other than to offer a closed (confidential) face-to-face meeting at the MEC offices in Toronto, which would further our costs and lacks transparency to the pilot group. This is another example of the MEC executive’s model of control over the MEC, which does not follow ALPA’s “bottom up” model.
The next step is to bring a motion to the MEC to request that information. That can be done via a remote, special MEC meeting on short notice or in person at our next MEC meeting in June. The MEC will have to vote on that motion, and it must pass by 51% for us to move forward.
What would you prefer?
We do not understand what the YUL first officer representative has "discomfort" about. The solution to this issue is simple: transparency with the pilots. Our secretary-treasurer internally reported this to the channels a treasurer must ethically take—ALPA Finance in Washington, ALPA Finance in Canada, and the MEC. When there was a complete lack of concern or interest in the days that followed from the majority of the MEC members, we began communicating with our pilots.
The MEC executive chair should voluntarily provide the cost comparison, justification, and supporting proof for his four trips to Honolulu.
A clear answer to these financial requests may help us achieve your next request to recall the MEC executive.
We will continue to try to achieve your requests, even if the YUL first officer representative believes in keeping this issue within the MEC in closed session.
We have clear direction from the YUL pilot group by motion to proceed... It is not complicated!

- Running "Top Chef" out of the MEC office? Because nothing says “regional pilot solidarity” like a luxury Viking kitchen range. I’m sure the pilots are thrilled their dues are funding a Gordon Ramsay HQ.
- MEC offices turning into Earl’s with a fully stocked bar? Why stop there? Let’s add a rooftop pool and call it “Club ALPA.” Membership perks include overpriced cocktails and a side of misplaced priorities.
- Paid trips to Hawaii? Back-to-back twice? To “organize a flow” with Hawaiian Airlines? Sure, because if you can’t manage a flow with your own mainline, why not aim for the stars—or, in this case, the Pacific. Immigration issues? ALPA’s stance on foreign workers? Details, details.
- Six figures in expenses? Oh, of course, because running a regional pilot group is basically like running the Sopranos.
- Fourteen years as MEC chair? That’s not a tenure; that’s a dynasty. I didn’t realize ALPA was dabbling in monarchy. Or is it more of a “benevolent dictatorship”?
Enough is enough. Time to channel your inner whistleblower and have a chat with your reps. Maybe bring snacks from the MEC kitchen—they’ll probably appreciate the gesture.

Absolutely accurate. Any pilot can go to Washington and look at the expenses in detail. This is far from a complete list.

Re: Time to end this circus: Claude has to go
Negative,
Only an elected officer(LEC CA/FO rep or secretary treasurer) can go to Washington to look at this stuff. And then record it and publically disseminate it? Negative again. But hey this is an anonymous forum and no one is fact checking anything so anything goes right?

Article XII, Section 4.A (14) and Article XIII, Section 4.A (13) of C&BL.
…any member in good standing can come to the home office and see the books.
OR….or they can ask their MEC Executive to honestly provide that info but since the JAZ MEC Executive is far from honest in any way, shape, or form, better to just go straight to Washington.
Out with these clowns.

New First Officer rep in Yul. Both candidates campaigned on transparency and honesty.
How about the other bases?
Who stands behind the same values?
In Yyc only the skipper Rep seems to. What's the vibe in other bases. What are the reps saying to justify this nonsense?

Claims appear to be distributed across various account and sub-account numbers, which may dilute or obscure actual expenditures by individuals

Re: Time to end this circus: Claude has to go
From YUL COM:
“We may now disclose amounts to the pilots; however, we cannot present the actual Tableau-generated expense reports without executive approval or an MEC majority”
The numbers are real and most are gross to even look at.
Hold your reps accountable. They work for YOU. Not the other way around.

Re: Time to end this circus: Claude has to go
I got it! I know why most reps still follow the Jazz Chairman!
They Believe in his one liners!
"Shhhhhhh we're getting a foreign A330 contract" (goes to Hawaii)
"Shhhhhhh we're getting the A220 from mainline" (New Office)
"Shhhhhhh we're getting date of hire with mainline" (Drives the Lincoln)
And no one asks for a shred of proof?
In Claude we "trust".... Ouf....

What’s happening with our union money is just wrong.
While pilots are dealing with high food prices, short staffing, and no way to drop trips or use timebank, union leaders are out spending our dues on vacations, big TVs, and expensive offices. And some reps are backing them up instead of standing up for us. Why?
The ULP just drags on and on and on with no real answers. And the chairman? Hiding in the shadows where he spends our money.
I reread the ONLY explanation provided. Remember their message? 80% ends up on the cutting room floor? Are you fucking serious? If 20% of my flights were safe would I even be alive? Maybe try this on for size, if you're make a shitty movie about greed and corruption well you succeeded but we need leader not directors who accept that sort of waste. Give your head a shake. 80% loss, ask Musk. fucksakes. I guess they blow 80% of our money so that number actually works out. Frankly we DESERVE BETTER THAN A 20% MARGIN!
We’re supposed to trust this?
It’s time we stop accepting excuses. Every treasurer can see the spending reports. If they’re not telling you the numbers, ask yourself why. That silence? That’s all the answer you need. Yul is sharing but no other base? Lots of cowards it seems.
Ask yourself: How many trips is too many? How much spending is too much? How far is too far?
And if the Jazz pilots condone this, fine, next time your on a dark and dirty approach, working forced overtime from a shitty agreement, think in a different timezone your leaders are watching a sunset in Hawaiian shirts, stuffing their faces a and sipping on scotch.
We need change. We need honesty. We need our union back.
If you’re fed up, start asking real questions. Demand real answers. It’s our money. It’s our careers, It's our paycheck!. It’s our union. Don't let that silver tongued devil work you over.
Let’s take it back from the politicians and the WEAK leadership and return it to the Jazz pilots. Because these assholes don't represent me.
