Honest question: what did you think was going to happen with the stock price? It was just going to continue to sit in the toilet? Of course it was going up, the uncertainty of labour action was priced in. Once that was resolved it was going up regardless of what the contract ended up being.

Stig, Can you explain to me how WestJet with only 2 rounds of bargaining, the first one being arbitrated, has almost the same pay now after making MORE than us as a low cost carrier. THEN, they have better reserve and productivity rules? How is that even possible?? Is arbitration really much worse ...

The Minister of Labour sending the Port Workers to binding arbitration shows that the Government would have intervened had there been a strike at AC. This validates the MEC's decision to let the negotiators work until the 11th hour, access the situation at that moment, and ultimately and put the TA...

The committee is P2P and it’s been called that for a very long time. Check it on the ALPA app. Help is available if anyone wants the service of pilot volunteers Except it’s not. What you’re referring to under ALPA is Pilot Assistance. P2P does not provide support for pilots going through a hard tim...

Interesting...after reading that and learning that ALPA is trying to grow the MCF like it is a retirement fund, it is no wonder they don't want to use it...hard to grow something when you're spending it...especially on strikes in Canada. (A country with pilots that can actually legally strike) So i...

ALPA has negotiated 34 pilot contracts since 2020....ZERO strikes. They are enjoying some success with pattern bargaining in the US. Pretty abysmal performance North of the border. Canadian companies are hardly buckling with the "tools" from ALPA. 14 years of negotiating since the last strike in 20...

Typical divide and conquer. Sad that just overnight the unity is now in question. What happened/was said by the company to spook the union? Understand the company only needs the pilots to vote 51% in favour, so obviously there was pressure to bring the TA to membership. Be interesting to know if th...

There is zero chance the government lets you guys strike. So if you strike anyways the company, media and government will all publicly call you out and paint you as greedy and the bad guys. We just saw it with the WJ engineers, except you guys are more visible and air Canada is on a larger scale so...

I'd love to be on the picket line of a union that states they won't kneel. The Teacher's union didn't kneel. I don't like feeling like a sucker. Going to mediation instead of striking in the summer months made me feel like a sucker. Picketing for a union that isn't going to stand up to unlawful dir...

It'd be nice to hear from ALPA about what our plan is if we are in the exact same situation the railworkers are in. Before I go stand on the sidewalk holding a sign like goofy when we are going to arbitration anyway. I honestly don’t think interference will happen with AC, they can justify their ac...

Any internal acknowledgment of this incident at AC? Hopefully she has been suspended/fired by now. Suspended? Fired? Are you mad? There is clearly more to the story. Having done flights to and from Morocco I’ve had more than one occasion of unruly passengers. I will bet 100% there’s more to it than...

Yeah I get all that but Im still convinced they will find a way to get us back to work…you forgot about the bloc quebecois….and Im still not sure the conservative would not approve it. Once we give that 72 hours notice, things will move fast and we need to stop thinking that it wont happen and star...

I like the Idea and Im not planning on voting yes on anything less than Delta contract. Everyone seems to think that a strike will be enough to get what we deserve. But are the feds really gonna let us strike, if so for how long. I really doubt the government will let us walk for more than few hour...

Because AC mechanics open their negotiations this fall And yet again, I’ll be a broken record. IT’S IRRELEVANT. AC AMEs are not bargaining their first collective agreement. Actually - your wrong. They are splitting from the current union and going with a different one. The successor union would inh...

We only get strike pay if we're on strike for more than 14 days. For the first 14 days, we get nothing. I'm ready either way. Just know for budgeting purposes that if we're on strike for less than 2 weeks, it will be entirely without income. Profit Sharing should be arriving in April. Anyone with a...

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...

Lots and lots of guys still on probation too that aren’t wearing the new lanyards. That being said, the title and original post reek of someone trying to troll. Do you really believe AC would fire a new hire for wearing an ALPA lanyard? The red one? Yep. The blue one? No. Don’t underestimate the le...

A full throated +1. Ill be voting no as well, regardless. You can’t say “I like this MEC, I trust them” in one breath and then say “I’m automatically voting no” in the next. By doing so, you are saying they are going to bring us a shitty deal, therefore you don’t actually trust them. Like I told Ri...

Call it shortsighted if you like. I'm triggered to vote no as anything that has ever been presented to us in the past could have benefitted from a solid NO vote, at least ONCE. If you fear external forces acting on good faith bargaining, then we have little hope. As employees, we have rights that i...

I will vote NO to anything that comes across the table . They can ALWAYS do better. MAKE IT BETTER. This will be the new "standard" that we will all live with for the next decade or three. Make it F'ING GOOD or send it back. Nothing left on the table. Not one thing. Just like buying a house or a ca...

Word on the street Newark ground has been calling is Door Dash. Maybe not the worst but not far 😂 Nope that was Montreal… hahaha Racoon was not an option as there is already a company in France using that callsign. The company tried to apply for Porter Dash and it was approved by ICAO but was refus...

Nope. Any calendar day away from home base that has no duty attached to it is credited at 4 hours. I think maybe you have misunderstood. It’s been explained several times lately in various forms around the company. They are not crediting like many of those overseas airlines do. That is completely f...

Well I hope that the hundreds of pilots who lowered wages in Canada by accepting flat pay will finally be able to band together and make amends! Hold the line! Interesting strategy blaming people who came here hoping to make things better, but no blame for those who negotiated and defended flat pay...
