Too Simple.

There will a lot more to it than that.

What happens when "almost everyone" there suddenly realizes they still work at Georgian in 6 years still making bottom-feeding wages, flying clapped out RJ's & Dh8s, complaining that the only places to can go is for even less money (i.e., Encore, Rouge, Skyregional). If everyone thinks they're just ...

Excuse me? Confidentiality laws? That is an interesting perspective that holds no weight if you were made a witness to criminal activity to which you were inadvertently made a part of.

I think that part of the "renumeration" for many of the pilots who join Encore is the opportunity to work at mainline WJ. After all, it is a continuously growing company that is potentially beginning to experiment with intercontinental flying. These Encore pilots value this because most other region...

Jersus H Christ.. if I have one more person ram that video in my face, acting like they're the first to discover it, I'm going to have to choke myself.

Enough already with the stupid video. Wow they spent a few bucks at best buy and managed to get more publicity in 3 days than Rob Ford.

It looks like the government minister rescently responsible for driving the Canadian career piloting profession firther into the gutter, just got a promotion.

Yeah that Modern Organic Products dude. There's a lot of them these days, but can you blame him? For the vast majority of its history, agriculture can be described as having been organic. Only during the 20th century was a large supply of new chemicals introduced to the food supply. Not to mention G...

If you want to virtually guarantee your chances of having zero desire to get into recreational flying beyond your initial flight training, just become an airline pilot. It'll beat the joy and freedom of flight right of out of you. Employers, Flight Training Units, Transport Canada and Unions do NOTH...

The best part is how they totally "curve-balled" the Ontario Government on the decision and announcement.
Dorval here we go! Ontario needs another scandal so it can flip-flop a bad government to another bad government again.

This article tries to put things into perspective.

It was a great long shot for Porter but this thing will be dead in the water. There is no way that the city of Toronto will allow the island to get even one square foot larger for the purpose of an airport. It took the last decade for the city to realize it even had a waterfront, and now that it is ...

I think they have learned more than a few lessons since then.

The last time was a dumb knee-jerk panic marketing department reaction, a.k.a. neon paint investment against Westjet.

The evolution of capitalism continues.... Being forced to hand over your skilled labor job to a developing country citizen who will do your skilled labor job for 2/3'rds less. He/she can of course because their cost of living is half of yours in your homeland. They have a fun term for this..Globaliz...

The management thought it might be fun to gamble a little in a country/market they have probably never even been to, much less know anything about. Bravo. Mostly because 15mil could never be invested back home in say....... perhaps acquiring oil sand charters. Perhaps leasing an aircraft that is act...

That's ok. They'll just hire more pilots for 38k a year. Everyone's still lining up, plus probably about 150 PFO'd pilots hoping for another shot at an interview. Upset old timer problem fixed.

If that were the case, it would contradict their popularity throughout North America.

Nothing will ever be perfect.

It's looking like ACPA will not be operating them much longer though.

The AC pilots top two representatives were reprimanded and threatened with the termination of their jobs for speaking out on behalf of the rest of the entire group. Is anyone surprised with today's news. Today is just another cough, from a very sick corp.. I can only imagine the headlines on the day...

I can't help but think that the AC pilots have little to no leverage left to negotiate. Most of your rights to manage the situation and outcome have been taken away from you by the government. Judging by the comments sections of just about every AC related article that I have read leads me to believ...

Congratulations.
Maybe Harper & Lisa can force you to fly with AC, for the best interests of the Canadian economy.

One article I read speculated that this all started when Lisa The Rat was walking through the terminal and started to recieve a sarcastic thank you clap from various employees giving the stink eye. These days, everyone feels like a herd of sheep being led to the water by just about anyone in a posit...
