Apparently he was still on probation so I’d say slim chances

Well the general public have already called for his dismissal. And an MP from BC has personally written Rousseau to call for his immediate termination.

Are you gonna climb into the front of the Dreamliner and take a trip to Tel Aviv with him? I sure wouldn’t.

Loses job but wins the lawsuit or out of court settlement.
-A flag? Oh no
-Lefties compare their political opponents to Hitler every day
-The burn in hell comment isn't actually threatening as that would be the Devil's doing not his
He could probably even find a Jewish lawyer to represent him.

Can the original post/video still be viewed somewhere?

As an AvCanada discussion grows longer:
-the probability of 'entitlement' being mentioned, approaches 1
-one will be accused of using bad airmanship

AC just announced on Twitter that the pilot has been terminated.

Lawsuit, that’s good for a laugh. Probation combined with the policy about online posting making the company look bad, no chance he’ll win anything.
I think he might have a hard time even getting a job driving Uber for some time to come, he will likely be on a terrorist watch list to boot, a RAIC will be impossible to get.

First Officer on the 787. So not even relief. How many hours did he have to get hired directly as an FO on 787 to still be on probation?

It's a myth that a probationary period is for anything other than avoiding severance pay if terminated. And if social media posts making the company look bad was considered a valid fireable offense half of the company's pilots would have been fired after the ALPA social media protest last month.

Ok, why don’t you give us some examples?
Btw, I’m sure AC management consulted their lawyers before initiating the termination.

It’s luck of the draw. If those are the spots required on your initial course then that’s what you get.

Yes, because standing in solidarity with your colleagues for a better contract is in the same category as showing your support for HAMAS, an internationally recognized terror group who is responsible for countless atrocities, the most recent being this past weekend? Asking for a good CA and advocating the rape and murder of innocent civilians, many if whom were children is not the same thing.

He'll never get a RAIC again. That was poor ADM on his part.

This is a really disturbing equivalence attempt. Really.

The question should really be.

Why shouldn’t this individual be deported. (If not a citizen) Have his licenses revoked. Be placed immediately on a no fly list.

Going to be really difficult to find a job anywhere when Google searches have your name plastered all over the news.

Hope he is mentally fit for termination and can figure things out for himself to move forward.

If supporting Hamas publicly was grounds to not get a RAIC, the industry would be down dozens more pilots.

Maybe he can get a job at Air Gaza... they're actually down a few pilots.

Your morals are not what decides who can access taxpayer revenue, that's probably the reason.

This is nothing new for him, other than maybe stupidity posing in his uniform while doing it. Glad to see his BS finally got checked. Nothing like having a future employer in Canada google your name and have 10 national news stories pop up. I think he was also instructing somewhere too, Lachute maybe? But ya, I’d say he’s done in Canada.

Let's not forget Air Canada allowed Omar Khadr onboard on at least one flight.

Nobody seemed to think this was a big deal.

In case you've forgotten - this is an actual Terrorist who did a bit more than attend a demonstration and post on social media.

Why isn't he on the 'no fly' list?

Would you be happy with him onboard your aircraft?
