YUL LEC Rep. You are an absolute disgrace to the AC pilot group. It has come to my attention that you recently had a 3 day pairing dropped for union work. PAID UNION WORK. Then you decided to list and accept VOLUNTARY OVERTIME to position yourself to said MEC meeting. In case you haven't noticed we ...

I hope the AC pilot group has the gumption and courage to set the park brake come 2024. After getting raw dogged by the corp on every front through the duration of the pandemic its time we catch up and start leading this industry again. Our pilots need to realize we will get ZERO gains negotiating w...

.

Are there any other furloughs out there that are developing a resentment towards the company and association that is supposed to represent them. As somebody who has proudly worn the AC uniform in the past and had high praise for the company, I am worried that I will forever carry a resentment toward...

Good riddance. You did the right thing.

.

It would be nice if ACPA could criticize Air Canada for their numerous contract violations. Seems like ACPA cares more about 23 pilots vs the group of 600.

Is ACPA allowing the company to blatantly violate the collective agreement and basically saying to the membership "just let it happen or else"???? I encourage every active pilot to file a grievance about this. ACPA needs to hold the company accountable! If ACPA can't do it perhaps the CIRB (Canadian...

How was JAZ ALPA, if they are so terrible in your eyes Redbusdriver, able to to recall every single pilot Aug 29th. Their reason is because they didn't want the members losing benefits as CEWS was coming to a close. ACPA couldn't even negotiate us onto CEWS... We are doing the company a MASSIVE favo...

What is CEWS? I thought airlines would go bankrupt if they used CEWS...

Sounds like the Rouge contract WAWCON were not going to be viable with the new fatigue and duty rules. Company desperately needed to get rouge up and running to capture the leisure market. The 300 vacancies are due mostly in part to the new fatigue rules. It will Probably cost the company less to op...

ACPA is a "box of chocolates."

Doesn't mean a damn thing if we are back on paper. We need to be back on PAYROLL.

First a grievance would need to be filed.

But the way ACPA should handle this is to demand 100% recalls. I don't see any other solution as this article is in the CA to protect furloughed pilots.

As somebody who considers them self a red "bus driver" what do you think is the best way forward? How do you think our association should conduct themselves to extract meaningful gains?

What are your views? Because all I see you do is shoot down any idea or thoughts other people have.

Sounds like you have no spine bud. If this is the attitude we have going forward be prepared to get steam rolled. Even if we were to get mandated back to work what is stopping us from saying NO. Ever heard of a wildcat? We need unity, we need courage, we need leaders and members with an actual backb...

+1!!!!!!

Every AC pilot should go invest in a new pair of "walking" shoes. Make sure to break them in before 2024 rolls around.

And to think the whole cargo operation supposedly hinged on whether or not the pilots took a 10% pay cut. It was going to happen regardless. There is no way they would cancel such a large business venture purely on a 10% pilot concession. We got played so so so bad and our union isn't willing to adm...

The majority of the blame lies with the union. When you have a union making recommendations on how to vote without providing some of the most crucial details of said vote you have a massive disconnect. ie. Cargo LOU Did the union know about Air Canada's plans to start a door to door delivery servic...

Not allowed to strike? Anybody is allowed to strike. They just need enough collective unity to say F#@K you to whoever is trying to mandate them back to work. Its called courage, pride, UNITY. Work to rule. Remember we are the ones that ultimately release the park brake and get things moving. Withou...

Are we allowed to compare ourselves to delta though? I thought that was against the rules...lol

Its a good thing we have a commuting policy so we can afford to live somewhere reasonable... oh wait I believe it would be in the best interest of the pilot group and the company if the association could negotiate a commuting policy. There will be plenty of people myself included who simply can't af...

These days they aren't prepared to do anything except say YES YES YES to all the company's requests.

Do we have a strike preparedness committee like WestJet does? If we do I would say its time we start preparing. Its time we put our foot down. The only way we get anything back is job action. All the people that have complained past and present need to be willing to put their money where their mouth...
