Jeebus!

You can't get 99 percent agreement on ANYTHING in this world!

They must be ticked off about something.

I wish the Jazz pilots all the best.

In solidarity,

[Redwine]

Kudos to these guys and good luck to a fair contract!

[Flybaby]

All my best wishes are with the Jazz Pilot group.

Good luck Jazz guys/gals!!!

99%? That would be a "yes" vote for a strike, I'm guessing.

The right to strike is a basic, fundamental bargaining tool that should be open to all members of a unionized company. Good luck folks. When pilots can't afford to leave a Navajo job, for the right seat in a Dash 8 with a company the size of Jazz, you definitely need better compensation!

Wonder who the other 1% is....

[Samson]

Thanks for that article. I just changed a Jazz flight I had booked for mid-June to Westjet just to be safe.

Good luck with your strike Jazz folks. I hope you can make your working conditions much better for the pilots there.

First point, You are correct

Second, Management pilots would account for some of that 1%.

[Koizie1]

Hopefully management will pony up and make Jazz a leader and an example to other Regional airlines in other parts of the world.

'You get what you pay for', right?

Good luck to all the people at Jazz.

management gets union votes?

[ajet32]

Al pilots are part of the union I think and therefore have a seniority number and a vote.

[Panama Jack]

Talking to a friend who works on the other side of the cockpit door, I am told that the Cabin Crew are also having their strike vote at the moment. So it sounds like Jazz has issues to settle with various employee groups. Will be interesting.

[countryhick]

F/A Vote should be announced toady I believe. I would expect similar results. Jazz management needs to take note of the message these two groups are sending.

[howzat]

I'm sure Thomas Cook will be really delighted with that news for their new contract.
The whole bunch of them should get the sack, there are plenty more where they came from.

[Localizer]

I hope you're talking about managment ...

[howzat]

No, I'm talking about all those whining pilots and might as well get rid of the moaning cabin staff while they are at it .........

sounds like a perfect example of a comment originating from management.........

[proper]

another prime example of why reproducing should be a priviledge and not a right. Ol man shoulda had a kleenex catcher's mit eh?

[teacher]

................and the coffee break taking, 2 hour lunch, 9-5, weekends and holidays off pencil pusher with no REAL responsibility makes how much?

Thought so.

[eeffoc]

[scopiton]

No, I'm talking about all those whining pilots and might as well get rid of the moaning cabin staff while they are at it .........

good idea, lets fire everybody and we'll see how much benefits stakeholders and management will be able to share with empty aircraft sitting on the ramp
haaa, life would be so easy without all those pilots, F/as and ramp rats, without fuel and catering to provide and this so expensive maintenance just to have aircraft in accordance with this dumb and useless regulation..........

but jazz doesn't buy the gas!

[Panama Jack]

You're right. The customer does!
