Just curious, if Westjet goes under tomorrow and you’ll have to go to AC at BOTL, are you going to learn their SOP or tell them “the right way” to fly a 737? The amount of ex sunwing guys saying “ya i get it this is the new normal” but refuse to learn Westjet SOP is mind boggling. Be a professional...

This “Sunwing was doomed and WestJet saved them” line keeps resurfacing, and at this point it reads less like insight and more like self-soothing. Sunwing was acquired, not dragged out under CCAA. No bankruptcy, no creditor protection, no hard evidence that failure was inevitable. Acquisitions happe...

So air Canada lost money over a 10 year stretch and your conclusion is you need more competition because they didn’t lost enough money ? It’s like the grocery companies, everyone says they are making too much money but in reality their profits margins are 3-4%. So the cheapest things could ever get...

For those talking about profitable companies. Personally, I think that there isn't enough competition in Canada in that competition at the moment is highly regulated and manipulated by a variety of parties including the government. Air Canada – Net Income (CAD m) 2015: + 308 2016: + 876 2017: + 2,03...

I love reading the title of the post thinking "mmhh thats interesting, lets see what EU airlines people like", to just jump to the end of the thread and people talking about Tanks and army. Surreal :lol: This place is like a case study in high-functioning, aviation-flavored ADHD. One minute it’s “f...

Cowards move saying not to reply eh? 😂 Son, I respect your determination, but doubling down when you're clearly iwrong isn’t the kind of strength you want to be known for. The need to always be right, especially when it’s obvious you're just looking for an argument, speaks louder about you than the...

Wonder how many of those 99.87% would leave if they were able to work south

When the MEC was harping on and on about a world class contract it appears they were correct

Unfortunately it was world class for the company and not the pilots

Well, I'm glad we all made such a strong effort to wear the same colored necklaces. It was a very useful investment in time that brought us together and showed them management.

From the Air Canada ruling on working past 60: It underscored that retirement policies must evolve with international standards Take it up with ICAO then, and the FAA. They won’t allow anyone over 65 in their airspace. It’s not age discrimination by the airline if you’re not legally allowed to do t...

Don't go to an airline that allows pilots over 65 to continue flying and cherry picking domestic flights thereby stagnating movement up the list. Get rid of that in CA3. So, don't go to a company that respects human rights instead of putting people to the pasture based upon an arbitrary number and ...

- Imagine being a 9 year WJ FO in YYZ who has been waiting patiently for an upgrade , and now you have to fly with a junior Sunwing Captain who was only hired in 2022? Imagine finding out he also getting paid as a Westjet Captain? Seems fair right? - Imagine finding out that guy who ended up at Sun...

Again, you would have been bargaining from a position of much less leverage, from a much lower starting point if WJ did not purchase Sunwing, you think a company that laid all of you off wouldn’t have had a contingency plan for having lift while you walked! Relative seniority of a much bigger list ...

Wear your orange SPC lanyard to signal to your fellow pilots that you are on their team. maybe in the spirit of togetherness we should wear this lanyard. It would show our solidarity as one. then we could stop turning on each other like the sniveling pack animals some of us are. https://i.ibb.co/zh...

A few of you supposedly harmoniously supporting workers rights , instead of supporting each other, remind me of Fred Hahn. As in not very nice, to put it mildly.

No you would not. Lets get real. You are like most every other boomer out there. You want continuously rising home prices to fund your lifestyle, but also don't want any immigration or increased density or traffic. Or higher taxes. Oh and you want the young people to pay you top dollar when you rea...

Get your CPL in the US. Get an FAA license and go fly in Africa. Far cheaper, easier and more useful

Seriously what is up with AC. Just took a personal flight back from Sydney. Rude flight attendants, no smiles, no looking in the eyes as you talk to our customers.
