Recall of MEC Chair & Vice Chair

Not sure anyone, except maybe the executives have kept up with inflation since 2002(23 years ago)! What’s your point?

It's hard to find Canadian data but on average in the US wages have outpaced inflation.

I touched on this in another post, but I think ALPA Canada needs to nut up, in serious way. I just don't have confidence they are truly fighting for pilots, just fighting to grow their membership. This sentiment is growing as their fragility seems to be more exposed.

Every airline who joins ALPA has high hopes of vastly improved working conditions, and there's never a true change. Never. It happens over and over. They can provide a measure of job protection which is welcome, but beyond that in a negotiating capacity, I have concerns.
We saw the FA's give er. We saw the WJ AME's hand it to the company.

There are many really good people volunteering their time to help their fellow pilots, but does anyone here think Tim Perry, or any ALPA executive is willing to go to jail for their members like the support we just saw from Hancock? The results speak volumes.

Did not WJ ALPA and AC ALPA get bigger compensation increases than AC CUPE?

To confess, that could be true, I haven't looked at the overall gains, but from different starting points wouldn't it be difficult to compare? I'm just going by the simple metric of the increase from the company's final offer. Had CUPE not done what they did, they would have left a chunk on the table.

True. The problem is that the Liberal have screwed Labour Relations up so bad. If one party is convinced the government will step in (as the CEO admitted), of course they will hold back and not bargain in good faith. This will need a rewrite of the Canada Labour Code. The idea is to avoid work disruptions. Now, every corporation will realize they need to hold back, and every union knows they need to strike to get the last bit. This is bad for everyone.
