Re: WestJet Sunwing merger and seniority
one of my non-union acquaintances just told me they had their meeting with Westjet about their new role at Westjet and they are keeping not only their wage - but are being given DOH for seniority. Wait!? What?! Please. Would you kindly address the peanut gallery further on this comment? See bold. N...

Re: WestJet Sunwing merger and seniority
Do you think AVH was caught off guard in the last town hall when Diederik mentioned possible dry lease aircraft for the 2024/25 Sunwings winter season if the October deadline isn't achieved? His face turned red with hives as if he had an allergic reaction. I think it's going to have to happen regar...

Re: Strike Vote: 97% in Favour
Something I found online Why does everything feel so unaffordable? According to the pre-1983 CPI calculation method, inflation is nearly TRIPLE what current CPI data says. If you used pre-1983 CPI, inflation peaked at 18% in November 2022 and currently stands at a whopping 8%. Under this method, ho...

Re: WestJet Sunwing merger and seniority
Financial status of the companies is irrelevant. Canadian Airlines was within hours of failure in January 2000. The arbitrator did not take it into account. Air Canada purchased a going concern. End of story. I think you missed the whole point of BigQ's eloquently put post. The fact Sunwing made mo...

Re: The end of Flair?
This antagonism towards Flair is totally misplaced. All they're is doing wrong is possibly failing against a government who've created a hostile aviation environment that is 7 times more expensive to operate in than our neighbours, and the most expensive operating structure in the entire G20. Maybe...

Re: The end of Flair?
Look no further than Lynx. In a year they had $100 million in ticket revenue.......but only $6 million in ancillary sales. For a segment that basically relies on those sales to survive - that doesn't bode very well for them. Lynx had no buy on board at all, their only ancillary revenue was from bag...

Re: The end of Flair?
More than 14 000 people didn't think twice about buying tickets on Flair once the online payment thing was sorted out. Nearly a one day record for us. How many of those bought one of the sub-$50 deals? Not only that, but that's the total price; the fare on a $29 ticket is $15.50. Add in the 20% dis...

Re: Well that was a good run...
More WestJet misinformation being spread through their politburo (the globe and mail). Flair hasn't cut any flights at all, let alone 600 of them. Not one. Can you point out exactly where in this article any information or comments came from Westjet? Do I really need to? WestJet spends 30 Million d...

Re: The end of Flair?
Check the Flair forum....this has been going on for nearly 48 hrs and not a peep from Flair. Its not rocket science.
I think its time for Mr Jones's own words again....

FWIW - the rumors around these parts is talks were happening with CMA. I believe it eventually Encore will be split off and sold - and possibly part of the maintenance department as well. The mechanincs talks are a mess from all reports and a shutdown will happen end of April. They are trying to pus...

Re: Flair Suspending Growth Plans amid Delivery Delays and Debt
I don't think ANYTING is clearcut, lots of companies fucked around and (didn't) find out. The Bay didn't pay landlords during covid, Porter didn't pay Nieuport rent during covid. The difference with Flair is their leases were likely below market rate so there was in incentive for the lessors to tak...

I posted this article to show that ADP has had issues with pay in the past.
