I am curious if the number of expats drove the yes vote. If they were used and abused in the Middle East, this increase is a walk in the park for them.

Hey everyone, seeing other ppl having issues with the hiring portal confirmation email. I never received anything and wondering how many other ppl out there are hiving a similar situation and what, if anything, has anyone been able to do about? It has been taking a few days for people to get confir...

Its funny that one of their own pilots is selling a prep course that they highly recommend you don't do..

Grounds for dismissal? One could only wish

YUL LEC Rep "JFB." You are an absolute disgrace to the AC pilot group. It has come to my attention that you recently had a 3 day pairing dropped for union work. PAID UNION WORK. Then you decided to list and accept VOLUNTARY OVERTIME to position yourself to said MEC meeting. In case you haven't noti...

It's about 70 pilots currently that are being placed on LOA for failure to vaccinate.

Take a look around you. Something like 35 FEDEX guys broke $1,000,000USD during COVID. UPS guys? Not far behind. Meanwhile we cross the Atlantic every night with only 2 pilots while every US carrier has 3. It's guys like you that keep driving our contract into the mud... but the sad part is - YOU'R...

It's a privilege. Always has been always will be. You have the right to travel but the means is a privilege. What the hell does that double speak even mean???! That’s communism. It means you don’t understand it and therefore it must be communism to you. That's the typical dumbfuck reply right there...

It's beyond frustrating that furloughed Jazz pilots were able to make bank with the CEWS/side gig combo, and will now all be back on payroll by the end of August, flying routes that wouldn't be there if it wasn't for Big Red completely disregarding scope. Meanwhile, furloughed AC drivers (who are p...

most guys above 60 struggle to get into that seat. I cant imagine a senior citizen trying it..

I swear half these guys over 60 shouldn't be flying a plane to begin with... I cant imagine flying with someone pushing 70. Is he going to show up to the plane with a walker?

Transat pilots didn't want to give up their lucrative lifestyle.

Ah yes, the unemployed and "my company went bankrupt" lifestyle, very lucrative.

375$ million to carry them for a couple years? I find this hard to believe. What’s their current cash on hand/burn rate? What do they owe in refunds, if any? They lost about $100 million last year according to TUI's financial report. TUI (being public) has to disclose the numbers of their partners ...

The deal will “fail” and Sunwing will promptly shut down the airline.

I doubt they will pay a 300%+ premium on the closing price prior to the announcement on friday... Unsolicited offer = hostile takeover... I’m sure CHR management is fighting for their lives to keep the vultures at bay, for everyone at CHR/Jazz I hope they succeed. Not necessarily. What if they were ...

Flair on the other hand wont make it through the year IMO

Out of thin air clearly since he didn’t even know they were operating...

“Heard from an MLO that only 70 of the old boys took the early retirement package.....thanks boys” That’s rich. And yeah 600 are going.

She failed out of training I believe

Just goes to show you how arbitrary the selection process is. There's a number who shouldn't be here but one individual in specific, I am absolutely shocked was hired. Based on their Jazz training record it should have been an auto PFO. Either they lied in their interview, or multiple failed rides ...

It’s going to be awkward if they have to explain to a tribunal they hired a pilot with a terrible training record because “they had to meet a quota”
