There's always the first time.

Really funny...

It’s funny how a handful of individuals, on either side of this proposed transaction although unverifiable because of their posting under anonymous handles, seem to think they represent the majority of their respective colleagues’ opinions...

Transport Canada’s report is still on Minister Garneau’s desk, and the EU Competition Board (or whatever name...) are still evaluating the dossier.

How can the offer not be extended?

So I would venture that a huge part of AC’s cash comes from the same source as well, i-e unrefunded passenger tickets as well...

2000 people losing their job permanently and that’s what you post???

Call me crazy, but buying a 750M house in which there’s a safe containing 576.4M cash with a garage full of cheap efficient airplanes with many more coming still seems a somewhat good proposition to me...

Should be an interesting situation too - Is it really a recall when no one has been laid off yet? I heard from a buddy that since technically everyone there is collecting their meager CEWS, nobody is laid off. Does that mean that the current 321 pilots get called out of inactive status to work even...

This kind of rivalry is an airline CEO's wetdream

Oh man .. you're not kidding sanjet. I'd buy Transat just to watch the pilot beat themselves to death ..

Surely you mean just two or three pilots... and they’re all on this forum. Never heard that kind of speech on the line or meetings!

Keep hoping your horrible career choices are saved by a buyout eh?

Are you truly that thoughtless in real life or is it just your on-line persona?

This thread is becoming hilarious to watch btw.

I’ll opt for sad myself....

No Air Transat pilot has been laid-off yet.

Why arent they calling them then? Hmm. Could it be because the program hasn’t even been officially approved yet? The article is in french, posted at 7:38 pm today on the journal’s website. https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2020/04/08/une-bisbille-entre-liberaux-et-conservateurs-retarde-ladoption-de...

You do realize many of us have been there for well over 20 years and are also close to retirement but not quite ready to pull the plug? Our #1 is a founding member (1987) who still has 5 years of flying ahead of him, and he’s getting a layoff notice like the rest of us If they have been there 20 ye...

I'm curious if most laid of Air Transat are actively trying to pursue new jobs... I wonder where we’d be looking these days... I heard Costco is hiring. Real funny....

Buying an airline that has completely ceased operations isn't what CR signed for.

If this deal doesn't fully unravel, it will certainly take a new appearance.

Actually, I wouldn’t be surprised if CR actually had something to do with that decision...

Overall if all goes ideally, no one will ever notice a reduction in seniority % or upgrade times if affected. Most, if not all should benefit especially in a new contract. I'm sure when the MECs sit down and crunch the numbers to reflect this most can breathe easy. I'm very certain no one at AC wil...

We have a Club Class seat reserved for breaks.

Is that a "technique" you personally recommend, or have you just watched to many movies?

Ratification vote under way for the portion of the TA that was agreed to by the union and the company. Results will be known by June 3. A few major outstanding issues, such as scheduling rules, will be headed to binding arbitration at the end of June so the full CBA should be settled by early July....

For those of us who don't fly professionally, what would 95 hours of flying work out to as a total "at work" time? (ie; show up at airport to leave to go home). I'm just trying to put things in perspective compared to my desk job. Unless you can transport your desk through multiple time zones, swit...

TA ratified.
