Where is Canada airline bailout? The deal was supposed to be ‘imminent’ — so why are we still waiting?

Where’s the bailout? For months, airline industry workers have heard a common refrain from the parties involved in negotiating a federal aid package — that a deal intended to save the struggling sector is “imminent.” The deal was supposedly imminent in February, shortly after Air Canada posted a sta...

Re: Will Westjet survive?

Short answer: yes. I believe WJ will emerge a smaller company after this is over. Delta and United have made similar projections even with government bailouts in place. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/ottawa-release-projections-covid-19-pandemic-1.5519253 2020 is a write off for any significant reb...

Re: Layoffs

Best case a few people wanna fly 6 mos from now. It will be years to get back where we were. The economy will be the dictator and the virus will slow the recovery. I’ll bet the concessions will sadly continue as we haven’t hit bottom yet. Right now the virus is the dictator. We are on a COVID-19 ti...

Re: Westjet Delta JV

And here we are now, March 23, 2020 and the real question is: how many jobs will be left after the virus is defeated (IF) and how long will it take to get back to square "1"? The virus will be defeated. There is no doubt about that. This will be a long drawn out recovery...this pandemic is of a sca...

Fellow aviators, These are troubling and unprecedented times. It stinks but such is life and the careers we made a choice to pursue in a delicate industry.

If a furlough does happen in the most worst case scenario and pilots are not flying during that time and staying current, what happens then? Example: Furloughed for a year ... and no flying.
