Few details, however no injuries reported thankfully.

Media should ask some better questions in these interviews. Such as things about how the air Canada ceo just got over 200 percent increase in compensation, how are these optics that you think a 2 digit, aka 10 percent increase is satisfactory for pilot. Also the ceo admits US pilots are paid double,...

Corporations and government collude with each other. Probably calling each other every day talking about how the corporations can pay off the MP's and how the governments can make policy decisions to keep wages low. Then publicly they act like they are against each other. The big difference is corpo...

How many hours is an Fo expected to be at work per year? 28 day schedule blocks, 10 days off within that and 18 working days. If you aren’t flying you’re on reserve. So probably expected to be available for a 12 hour day. In that 18 day block, x13 per year. 2800 hours of work perr year, 41k.... Thi...

Did you know, some of your “best pilots are making more than the Prime Minister” https://www.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=2689169 The mental gymnastics is incredible. WestJet has some of the best pilots in the world, but we can't afford to pay them more than half what a pilot makes in America. Some of W...

Daddy Legault says it takes courage to give themselves a 30k raise. I think every Quebec based pilot is going to need a 30k raise to help pay taxes for this. Know your worth… these guys don’t even ask for a raise, they just take your money. https://globalnews.ca/news/9696538/quebec-premier-francois-...

If Canadians were really concerned about a small increase in airfares you would think they would be more vocal about their biggest expense, paying daddy Trudeau. That guy makes life more expensive for everyone, along with all the other levels of government. You could triple pilot’s salaries and it w...

It's interesting you're asking for danger pay when you're working in what's supposed to be the safest form of transportation.... Not according to life insurance stats. Aviation includes more than 705 ops. The topic is about Westjet Captain salaries. Not 703 medevac ops or crop dusting. Most westjet...

Where's the danger pay for pilots?

The best way to negotiate pay, it if you are willing to leave if you don’t get what you demand you are worth. Dust off the resume. Unless you are willing to quit, most people struggle to make substantial wage gains. Unfortunately contracts put pilots in a corner because seniority has to much value. ...

Did blockbuster have a “me too” clause with Netflix? If they get a raise we get a raise! How would that work out? The market is your leverage, not some “I’m entitled to what they get” as in I point my finger where people are gaining and try to jump in the bandwagon. Meanwhile I completely ignore any...

Then if you take your protest to downtown Ottawa they will declare you terrorists and freeland will freeze your bank accounts. Are liberals anti labor and anti middle-class? I think we already know the answer to that. You mean --- if you take your protest to downtown Ottawa and *ignore lawful order...

Extreme capitalism versus degenerated socialism. Right now, Westjet pilot's biggest risk should they chose to strike is the CIRB declaring them a service essential to Canadians. Same goes for Air Canada pilots at their next bargaining round. My worry is Tiff Macklem's comments on minimizing worker ...

Whatever or whomever he is, one thing is clear. He is extremely bothered by pilots finally fighting back. We may not win as much as we wanted, we may not win at all. But the mere act of standing up to the company is just unacceptable to him. The funny thing is that he's worried or afraid to some de...

Air travel didn't shut down for covid. There was lots of work to do on the freight side. Had all flying in Canada actually shut down it would cripple the economy. The reason porter could shut down with no impact is the passengers they serve no longer required travel during the plandemic. That is a s...

https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12889-023-15624-9 So, who the f@#k cares, what part of a new virus don’t you get, they were grappling with an extremely virulent new disease and had to do something to slow the spread. What would you have done, hey, you’re so fuc#%@n smart...

PSAC did an excellent job… Offer from government was 9 percent over 3 years…. Nah that’s shit… TA is 12 percent over 4 years 🤡. Imagine paying union dues for that kind of offer. They must think you all dumb and can’t do some basic math lol. Unprecedented inflation and they will get an extra 1 percen...

Lol did people believe masks were actually effective?

tweet.JPG WestJet pilots are professionals. There won't be blocking of bridges or roads, or acting like angry protesters. Its no value to trash the profession by wearing costumes or shouting at people. Pilots won't be harassing passengers or catsa workers or other airline crews, most are already su...

Well let me start by saying... WHAAAAA, Trudeau is horrible!

https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/trudeau-says-he-didnt-force-anyone-to-get-vaccinated-all-the-incentives-were-there-to-encourage-canadians LOL. Why can't he just own it. If he made a mistake just say so. "I forced vaccines on Canadians, maybe that was a mistake, maybe the policy was to authorita...

You get paid well for what you do. I think pilots are in a good spot. It’s not about if they pay is good for what they do, it will be what is it worth to the company to keep planes moving. Going to get real expensive and not so profitable to have planes on lease that you have to park. Canadian pilo...

I was given an email from TC last week of impending strikes abs that my exam would be cancelled and rebooked. For the SAMRA. but I can’t find anywhere about these cancellations on their website. Duh they're on strike lol doubt someone is logging in to update the website Now why would you say “duh” ...

I admire Cuba. Canada should be more like Cuba. They have lots of doctors, it's amazing. Best healthcare system.
