If any of you Whoopsters are reading this, hear me now, good luck EVER getting a jumpseat....not that I expect you to care but you’ve lost the respect of, at the very least, 91% of Westjet Pilots. I know quite a number of good people who are now working at swoop and count a number of them as friend...

Ok, I’ll take this one. Every pilot that has accepted a job with Swoop knew full well what they were doing. All they had to do was wait and they couldn’t do it. The very best these people can expect now is right seat on a Q400 and the “respect” due them by each of the Westjet pilots they thumbed the...

I really wouldn't lose much sleep over who owns the website. Who cares? You have a job, a good job. You have food to eat, clean clothes to wear, a place to sleep. if you look at the world's population, you are likely among the most privileged 0.1% of the planet. And if you look back in the last 100...

Pretty simple really. No list required. If the listed Swoop DOH is prior to a WJ CBA then you’re a SCAB plain and simple. We don’t need a list to know who they are. So. And what? Who cares. So there’s no need for a list. It’s quite apparent someone cares or this thread wouldn’t be striking such a n...

Loved all the damn strike question ffs. This is where we’ve got to? As for the Alpa forum being respectful :smt014 Nobody posts there with anything other than alignment with the clowns like the angry Irish or east coast angry birds from the rock and haliban :rolleyes: Contrary views would be subjec...

You just threw your own under the bus. Sad How so? Saving them from themselves more like it. Arguments were made by the company and alpa and the independent third party, after weighing the evidence decided that something stank, and ruled accordingly. You know "boney", were you planning on leaving y...

There have been a lot of interest and applications at Swoop, even with ALPA's black list. Many think that since there is no contract, as yet, with WJA, Swoop will end up in contract talks, and ALPA in their desire to get a CBA, which ALPA needs badly, aka dues, they will lift this black list. Bette...

I believe you may be confusing bullying with being confronted with truth. Both do however make you feel uncomfortable.

In person interview with one pilot and one HR. Typical tell me about a time question. You do a technical exam on a ipad that was not too hard. Jean-Pierre, am I to understand you’ve interviewed? I only ask because I also noticed your ALPA avatar. What do you understand of the present Westjet Mainli...

You are in la la land if you don't think there's an opportunity for a ULCC in Canada. Is it as big an opportunity as the opportunity WJ had to exploit a void in 1996? Probably not. But it's there and WJ needs to absolutely dominate and control it in order to protect the larger franchise. Take a qui...

The pay is significantly higher than the Canadian average wage. As it should be. Do you consider yourself an average Canadian or an average pilot? What a dumb statement. The majority of Canadians don't assume hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars of liability every time they push the TOGA...

Copied from another thread because it needs to be repeated Rotten Apple #1, observing your posts I can’t help but feel they most certainly read like an individual with designs to draw out the worst in others. I don’t like it at all. You shouldn’t like how the words you choose seem to bring out incre...

Rotten Apple #1, observing your posts I can’t help but feel they most certainly read like an individual with designs to draw out the worst in others. I don’t like it at all. You shouldn’t like how the words you choose seem to bring out incredibly negative responses not just from one but many. Nobody...

In the immortal words of Ricky, “What comes around is all around”.

this is some entertaining bassackwards pageantry. Keep it up.

How about Canada vs the Rest of the world Salary review? THIS! Whats wrong with Canada? Honestly? A quick look south of the boarder and you can't help but see pilot groups getting better and better deals. I think Spirit airlines is about to sign something like a 43% compensation increase... And wha...

Anon 1234, I suspect this is an ego thing. The big A380 skipper could come back, go right seat at WestJet, and in a couple years be making more then a Swoop captain once you add in ESP, profit share, and stock options;non of which are being offered at Swoop. Me thinks he doesn't want to be the old ...

So, to get back on thread track. I beieve that others like myself, who have maybe 10-15 years left till 65, have made a comfortable nest egg and would like a challenge to mentor/train a new cadre of engaged, keen employees willing to accept the risk in starting up a model that is provocative, and w...

It seems quite relevant so I will share with you something that I wrote in one of our WJ WHY surveys a couple years back. This was supposed to be an anonymous and de-identified opportunity to speak our mind so the executive could better take the temperature of our group. It’s very evident they file ...

Let’s just say it’s a hell of a lot more than what it’ll be for everyone if WJ abdicates it’s spot in the Cdn industry as the low cost leader. I know what others are planning to pay their guys and it’s a quantum leap above that. I ran it by a number of very senior guys I know who still fly the line...

Nobody is saying Swoop shouldn’t happen...We are saying it should NOT happen at the expense of pilots wages & working conditions. End of story. Any pilot worth their salt will not be short sighted enough to condone supporting this abomination in its current form and how they’re intending to compensa...
