Re: Recall of MEC Chair & Vice Chair

Thank you for a job almost well done. Names. Many people want the names of those who were behind this distasteful resolution. Some are obvious from the chats. Are meeting minutes available? They held an anonymous survey of the entire membership. If you want to know how people really feel let them s...

To the author of this thread, I do not have a single regret to my YES vote, I will sleep fine and truly hope all Jazz pilots ignore the noise and see it for what it is, a free raise in pay.
Yes we get it...you love concessions.

Re: Do not set the bar low again

To sum up views above: - Jazz isn't an airline - The US model of capacity purchase agreements (CPAs) is completely different and they never whipsawed regionals off each down there. They simply got good wages by saying Yes to everything - Say "Yes" to save Jazz from poor management of allowing their ...

Re: Negotiations

I just want to make sure I understand the logic here:

You need to say "Yes" because the management at Air Canada is so incompetent that you need to take subpar pay to "save" your airline?

Re: How old is to old to go to AC?

The contract at AC opens this year and with the days of the old guard dragging down a global airline below the depths of ULCCs, the pay & QOL will inevitably go up

I am very excited about what this new energy with the pilot group can do moving forward

Exciting times!

First off. Thank you Gary for being the tie break to let the pilot group vote.
