In general the most critical of a union have done 0 union work. If they put in some time into a committee or an elected position they would change their tune.

Say that you think new pilots should have to suffer because you did without saying they should have to suffer because you did. I bet you didnt make it work with 2k extra at the end of the year. I bet you worked a second job or went into debt. My pint is that shouldn't be the case. It shouldn't have...

The big problem with starting pay in my opinion is that there’s no recognition in the different levels of experience upon hiring. At TS for example they’re doing a cadet program now. Same pay for the cadet and a 5000 hour pilot. If one was able to jump up a few levels on the scale when they start, b...

I only made the comparison because Jazz and AC agreed that Jazz would be the only tier II operator for AC until 2025, when AC violated that, Jazz did nothing to challenge it. So, if Porter bought a bunch of 321s and Transat didn’t challenge it, what can the pilots do? Are we talking about Jazz ALPA...

Wow my mousing hand is cramping from having to delete so many posts. Let's try to keep things on-topic, shall we? I kept any post that remotely had some information regarding the actual topic. I'll keep an eye on this thread and on the Transat forum for a little while; people who can't play nice wi...

The problem is that it would be up to the airline to challenge it, we experienced that with the Jazz/AC agreement. PAL was a complete violation but Jazz didn’t challenge it. Hopefully this is not the situation for you guys, I noticed this morning Transat posted a net loss for the fourth quarter of ...

Any idea what the wording is for the PD/TS joint venture, any aircraft restrictions? Haven't seen the language yet, possibly out today. It's unrestricted thru the scope, only in what TS-PD have negotiated. We were told the are some restrictions thru the competition bureau if one party went "wild". ...

Company puts 9% to your 1%, did I read that correctly? Yes Just a quick observation. 10% aggregate contribution towards retirement will not normally generate the requisite nest egg. And as most are aware, top up opportunities using RRSP may be limited due to annual contribution limits. I presume th...

My guess is management hung onto the Porter JV pretty tight, and wasn't worth the bargaining efforts. It likely wasn't a fight they would have won anyway. The contract between PD and TS was an insurmountable obstacle. The rest of the scope is supposed to be solid. Somewhere between the Delta and We...

Starting fresh hoping this thread remains civilized. If it goes sideways I'll be out, you guys can dig it up another way. Some highlights from the presentation, in no particular order. Most of this is in the Executive Summary if you've seen it. RRSP going from 5% employee 8% employer to 1% employee ...

Also, pension great, though i haven't seen any details. Tell me though, how does YOS help year 1-2 FOs? I can see how it helps people in the middle... but not the JR guys. Not immediately but they will fully benefit from it upon upgrade. It's not a cheap item to bargain. Can't put all the money in ...

Is that a serious question....? A living wage.... Actually, they got a raise of a living wage. The Jr guys didnt even get a living wage. You just keep repeating the same stuff over and over, people live with less BTW. You bring no facts with regards to the contract being 99% to the top. Years 1 FO ...

I get what youre saying poors, but you do have a guarantee every month. It just isn't always 75 hrs. Perhaps it should be, but thats a different discussion. My friend on the 67 told me his was 73 hr guarantee this month. So if he flies 65, he still gets 73. Then, at the end of the year this again g...

How about you guys take the insults and reading lessons back over to the AC forum to discuss you CA. This place would be so much better without the fake accounts and even more so if people could communicate their ideas without calling each other names. There's no way you would talk to each other fa...

Besides the fact they do not have the aircraft, pilots and everything else to keep that going? I don't think so. The scope will be explained this week so right now I'm kinda guessing

If anyone has specific questions later this week I'll try to answer them after the roadshow. More info once I see all the language too. I will not address any of the childish comments or attacks. I'll say this about starting wage and bottom of the list pay, we secured full years of service. That wa...

You guys are putting words in my mouth. I acknowledge it's way tougher these days with higher costs of housing and other life expenses. I merely pointed out that it's cringy to listen to some people complain when they have all latest tech and splurge on stuff you don't really need while complaining ...

Someone posted the TA in the dumpster fire thread.

What were the reasons for take home pay being allegedly less than AC before? Higher benefit cost on the employee? Yes. Our LTD premiums are expensive and we pay 100% of them. The upside is that it’s tax a free payment if you’re having to claim. Medical and dental were not completely free to us, loo...

Road shows start Tuesday till Friday so we’ll know more this week. They’re all busy getting set up for the presentations, finishing some language and translation. Everyone is just patiently waiting or starting rumours.
