Re: Timing the cycle

You just need to ask yourself. Has management or any office staff for that matter taken a pay cut or reduced their raises in a down turn, slower economic growth or to “capture the flying”? We all know the answer to that question and the pilot group has had ENOUGH which is why I’m confident this time...

Re: “I compete in Canada, so I need to be competitive in Canada,” - Mike Rosseau

Mike really needs to Understand that this will not end well for him or AC. There is NO appetite in the pilot group for compromise or concessions. There is NO appetite for back to work legislation or threats. Most AC pilots I know have said “go ahead, try to make me come into work”. It won’t happen. ...

Re: Negotiations

Step 1....stop all voluntary overtime! Scroll up for a link I poster earlier. This is still considered an “unlawful strike” Only if it is organized. Or if people are shamed or any other tactic is used to stop people from picking up overtime. But if it is an individuals personal choice... "I'm an ar...

Re: ALPA Petition

The merger rumour is a red herring being thrown around to spook people into staying with ACPA.

Any merger REGARDLESS of union similarities or differences will be negotiated, mediated and/or arbitrated. Anything else is just right ignorance of labour law.

Re: ALPA Petition

Re: Negotiations

Any pilot wage increases are not coming from Jazz but AC. AC wanted bargain basement CPA costs and forced it onto Jazz through a co-ordinated and methodical plan. Now they’re reaping what they sowed. Jazz’s CPA income and profit margins are not roomy enough for a large raise. AC is gonna have to po...

Re: ALPA Petition

I am genuinely curious as to what it is that AC pilots figure ALPA will do for them? Like ACPA, ALPA is run by the pilots. The folks running ACPA could easily run for the LEC, MEC and be voted in and quite frankly do the same stuff. What shallow thinking. Its the structure of ACPA that has been a t...

This may be the first recession where everyone has a job and people still want to go places. Maybe less business travel but definitely on vacation.

Re: Easiest "No" Vote to Come to this pilot group to date

When looking at an ACPA/AC MOA or TA one has to always think what does the company have planned? The pilot group signed a 10 year deal with locked in raises of only 2% and than had the company achieve record flying and record profits. AC had to get PERMANENT 10% less wages to make the cargo division...

Re: Easiest "No" Vote to Come to this pilot group to date

P4C has been very clear that they want to leave ACPA and join ALPA. That is what is motivating them and driving their decisions. The AC pilots on the other hand have been very clear that they want pay raises not the distraction of a union drive. Obviously this MOA would be bad news for P4C as it sh...

Re: Jazz & AC YOW Overnights

AC has many crews that overnight in YOW and I believe Jazz does too. Usually it’s the narrow body crews like the A220, A320 and the Max.

You can request YOW layovers for sure on your monthly bid.

Re: ALPA is not the answer, current ACPA isn't either

The big take away I got from this article aside from the big pay bump AND the obvious market force differences is the fact that ALPA’s interests lie in the pilot groups. They represent the pilots for the pilots. ACPA’s priorities in my opinion (and in the opinion of a growing many others) have been ...
