Re: Does anyone know what the MEC is actually trying to get out of the ULP?

Start up another regional carrier at a much lower cost. That's what will happen. Still a pilot problem... there aren't enough out there. From an AC management email to employees: "Yesterday, we announced our intent to expand the commercial agreement under which PAL Airlines operates regional flight...

Re: Does anyone know what the MEC is actually trying to get out of the ULP?

Claude invoking article 35 is really a joke. He wants to drag this as long as he can so people are scared of changing him and “slow the process”. Honestly, just pay the 286 pilots a 6 digit settlement, a pay anniversary adjusted and we’ll sign. The ulp will be over with. Honestly, just cut the 286 ...

Re: Does anyone know what the MEC is actually trying to get out of the ULP?

Yup, CIRB is done. No reason to hold your breath ULP filed in the end of 2023… I don’t think anyone is holding their breath anymore. Maybe if the Jazz MEC didn’t wait a year to file the ULP it would be settled already. They did not wait a year, they filed it the day after the contract was ratified ...

Re: Does anyone know what the MEC is actually trying to get out of the ULP?

Will the cirb cover the ULP before the return to work order under article 107, or they get expedited treatment because it affects the corporation’s bottom line. Well considering the CIRB handed a decision down within one day on a SUNDAY and the ULP has been ongoing since the harm happened 3 years a...

Not even considering the expenses, pilots on the new contract should vote for reps that are also on the new contract. Unless you are green circled your interests are not being represented by this MEC.

Re: ALPA signing new agreements with training bonds

Pilots subject to training bonds escape forfeiture only where they remain employed for a minimum period of time, often years. In effect, they create a form of indentured service.

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

I feel like some of you have lost the plot. The issue here is between Air Canada management and ALL the groups that continue to get fucked over. It is not Jazz pilots versus Air Canada pilots. Instead of throwing insults maybe educate yourselves first. Here is some context: https://www.canlii.org/en...
