JDP said at ground school last week they were preparing something for ALPA to look at to negotiate the programs end before arbitration if able. But no timeline for such an offer was provided.

Cooked. Both WJ and AC alike have snubbed decades fuel hedging programs for over a decade. There's a price to pay.. and we are all about to bear witness to the fastest/swiftest pilot career killer ever seen in generations. Fuel will literally 2x by July. To those who think I'm joking, you don't und...

As we flew in to YYC today we heard 1 plane get intercepted by F18’s and 1 get warned away.

Don’t want to be the one who was intercepted.

Every AR guy that I've flown with, save one, has been excellent. Even with a few years time on a Boeing and a few thousand hours 705 time, I learned lots. The pairings were genuinely enjoyable. While the previous AR program at WJ was going to be unsustainable, I question the method which the Compan...

I know of one at WJ, it was years ago they left and came back.

I was watching it on flightradar24 and it passed directly over the museum at 1200’.

She made a low and over in PSP for the flying museum. Would have been quite the sight to witness.

From the Coulson Facebook page she leaves for SFO this morning.

I saw on Facebook that it flew, not sure if it was today or a day or so before, but the trees around the lake had snow on them and the black of the plane looked awesome contrasted to that.

Position bid openings came out and absolutely 0 captains openings, meanwhile captains are averaging 10-20 hrs more per month vs first officers. The logical thing would be to upgrade more pilots to balance the hours out. So please tell me why an airline wouldn’t follow this logic? Money. Upgrading p...

Are rolling strikes legal? It would help defeat the 'essential to the economy' narrative if only a portion of us were on strike. Or if we operated 3 days on, 3 days strike. Both would be crippling to the company, which is the real point of the strike, while not hurting other businesses very much. I...
