Re: WestJet Sunwing merger and seniority
The Sunwing merger committee is likely to (if they haven't already) attempt to argue that they should slot in ahead of all Encore pilots with the reserved number. Including cadets? My assumption is yes. I am no expert on this matter, but I can't imagine them succeeding in putting WR at the BOTL. Ne...

Re: WestJet Sunwing merger and seniority
Thanks but Sunwing & westjet merge is not for every SWG pilots. Lots of other options on Table. Everyone has its own pririority in life...family..life style..and it's not just about $$. Just my 2 cents comment. Totally legit, lifestyle is #1. But I am still curious what most SWG guys think they're ...

Since ketamine therapy is legal what is tc’s view if someone was to use it? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34503619/ It’s interesting for sure.

Re: WestJet Sunwing merger and seniority
well in my opinion..... Everyone holds what there seniority number can hold period. Merge DOH is fine but NO ONE out of seniority! We did this already with swoop and we all know how that went. Likely it will be pretty close to this as precedent has been set with Swoop. Although SW pilots will be be...

Re: WestJet Sunwing merger and seniority
So basically what you say is that 250hrs 2022 Sunwing recruit are going to bypass 2023 1500+hrs 2023 WestJet by simply being added to seniority list from DOH ? Almost certainly. Just like the 250hr fo hired at swg in June is senior to the 4000 hr fo hired at swg in July. That's not the same. At all...

Re: AIP is dogshit
The pay works like this: For easy math let's say you made $100/hour OLD Hourly rate $100 + 20% WSP = $120 NEW [Hourly rate $100 + 15.5% raise + 9.1% from WSP] + 10% WSP = $138.6 $120 + 15.5% = 138.6 Everyone's pay increase for year one is 15.5% overall. A lot more for people who didn't do the full ...

Re: New payscale
WJ pilots eating at food banks with their wages? Yeah I’ll take things that didn’t happen for 3 dollars. And if they did, I’m calling incredibly poor financial sense in their part. Also Swoop is gone by next year, not 4 years. Read the AIP properly or don’t both posting such drivel, it’s embarrassi...
