Re: Will Westjet survive?
So I'll just sit here, collecting my max CEWS while working another gig waiting for my eventual layoff and 16 weeks severance, while your cohorts sit on EI praying for that call back. Yup. Anti-Union. Your union is collecting union dues from members who are on CEWS! Scum. Complete Scum. A few clari...

Re: Will Westjet survive?
No Socks is likely one of the Tech Ops who got punted out of seniority because they weren't unionized. Albeit I feel for those guys/gals, but no need to come on here and slander the pilot group over unionization (which i'm gonna bet you wish you were now) I'm looking forward to call you again to cl...

Re: Will Westjet survive?
Negative. Although alarming that you have a "list" of pilot haters.

Re: Will Westjet survive?
Management did their best to paint the pilots as the devil during negotiations and pit the rest of the employees against them. I think what we have here is an example of the brainwashing having its intended effect. Management didn't try to paint pilots as the devil, ya'll did that when you lined th...

Re: Will Westjet survive?
Remember when you guys almost bankrupted the airline over Swoop? And then...Swoop still launched and nobody got profit share? Remember the time ya'll screwed over Encore (solidarity my brothers)? Remember the time you fought for a 2.5% salary increase only to give it all back in union dues? Remembe...

Re: Will Westjet survive?
Of those 67% how many are on CEWS? You don't need a union for that. My favourite part of your response is your first paragraph. Typical WestJet pilot speak. Look at me. I sacrificed so much. I spent all this money. I worked so hard to get to this point in my career. Like you and your group were the...

Re: Will Westjet survive?
NoSocks, I am glad to hear that you are working. I wish you the best. In your juvenile, petulant and quite frankly not helpful inflammatory posts, you unintentionally hit the nail on the head regarding the benefits of having a union for pilots. While many of the WestJet/Encore/Swoop pilots do indee...

Re: Will Westjet survive?
Sure, whatever. I have 10 years to think about coming back to wj (if it lasts), retain my seniority, and not worry about my job being contracted out to Swissport. You are subject to the CLC and will probably never work for wj again. But hey, the union is horrible. Remember when you guys almost bank...

Re: Will Westjet survive?
We only pretend to care. People can get on social media and declare they are never flying (insert airline name here) again, but we know that most of them will.... They have limited options. Someone has figured out that the money saved with this move exceeds the money lost as a result of out sourcin...

Re: Will Westjet survive?
Are you from Onex or WJ financial team? Nah.... Just a dude on LOA Onex will move this corporation through bankruptcy and reacquire at 10 cents on the dollar. IPO not long after. Its the circle of life in Canadian aviation. Rinse and Repeat. Ha, if that’s what’s panning out for WJ, then they’ll be ...

Re: Will Westjet survive?
WestJet (in its current form) will not survive. WestJet is faced with a massive payout to those who are set to be moved from LOA to layoff in September. A group layoff (50 or more) entitles those being laid off with 16 weeks notice or payment in lieu. The first batch (about 5000) will be laid off S...

Re: SWOOP - A New Hires Future
Yup . Still rather the spots go to Encore FOs than the OTS guys. Sorry you don’t understand that. Oh dear lord! I don't even know how to respond to that. You're right. I don't get it! I really don't, and for good reason, cause that is by far the stupidest sh!t that I've ever heard! That statement e...
