Re: Grievance update for the 285ish former Jazz pilots affected by Flow

This has been debunked countless times. You have a much better shot of getting hired if you come from OTS, as is evidenced by this whole situation. Haha dude you have no idea what you’re talking about. If you quit Jazz, you don’t end up in the OTS pool. You end up in a pool called “OTS but they hav...

Re: Grievance update for the 285ish former Jazz pilots affected by Flow

What entitlement do you have to someone elses seniority? People have uprooted their lives, left high paying positions to come to Air Canada, and a lot have thousands of hours valuable experience. You want to bypass them in seniority all due to the maple leaf plastered on your plane? I think not. Be...

Re: How long until you hear back from AC?

Obviously this logic goes directly against TC eyeing things more closely and challenges with candidates lacking experience, but I wouldn't put it past management at this point. If they can't fill every gs and play the "look how many people want to be at AC even with the current pay" card anymore, t...

Are you suggesting waiting until you hit at least 3000tt?

Re: Is the ACPA Motto: "We will get'em next time" gone?

Those who choose not to prepare for a strike are foolish. ALPA does not tolerate scabs. There is still a "scab list" from a strike in the early 80's down in the States. To this day those guys are banned from many flight deck jumpseats. A strike or lockout IS coming, it's just a matter of when. Expe...

As a newish guy here... How did ACPA get played time and time again? I can only think of two possibilities: either totally incompetent or just corrupt. Or both??

Re: New hire bids

I’m a military pilot who is planning on jumping ship and heading to the USA (my wife is a citizen). I’ve got about ~3600TT, the majority of which is rotary wing time, although I'm currently assigned to a fixed wing platform. I hold all the TC/FAA licenses/certificates I am eligible to hold, but I’m...
