Re: Does anyone know what the MEC is actually trying to get out of the ULP?

Since you have no argument, I’ll remind you, you guys also voted for an agreement that other than pay sounds pretty shitty, glass houses dude! I voted no. Ok, so the majority of your colleagues are idiots to you! Explain why we are idiots, I’m not seeing it! We had and still have a long term contra...

Re: Does anyone know what the MEC is actually trying to get out of the ULP?

The big one was when they sent back a pay table. They completely blew past every line, making it clear we were never in negotiations with Jazz, but rather AC. So if AC pilots want to be mad at someone, be mad with AC management. We are just playing the cards we were given. We would have much prefer...

Re: Does anyone know what the MEC is actually trying to get out of the ULP?

Also, Air Canada actually ‘owns’ 10% of Jazz. Don’t know how much more ‘common’ it could get…well, I guess, about 90%, but still. Can you sight another example of your ‘cost plus CPA’s’ Bede where the other company gave two shits what the others companies bottom line was? I am unaware of any. The b...

Re: Does anyone know what the MEC is actually trying to get out of the ULP?

Yes if Air Canada is dictating our wages and and many other facets of our employment at Jazz then who really is our employer? Very deep question. Call ac crew sked about a specific pairing. Call ac payroll for a pay claim. Also call ac duty pilot if you have any issue. I think everyone know who you...

Claude invoking article 35 is really a joke. He wants to drag this as long as he can so people are scared of changing him and “slow the process”.

Re: Recall of MEC Chair & Vice Chair

I question the logic of depending on something that has been repeatedly shown to be unreliable. Out of curiosity do you think it's the strike that's proven unreliable or the government stepping in and stopping the strike? If the government didn't interfere like that the strike would probably be qui...

Re: RP Gigs

Not many 777/787 RP spots going to new hires going forward, read none. Too many mat leave returns coming back to work part time in the back seat. You can expect to join as a NB FO with a 30 month freeze before you will be allowed to bid down in position. A down bid to RP after that will penalize yo...

Re: Jazz recent FO hirings

The only reason you “spend a career” at jazz now is if you got PFOd literally from everyone else. But don’t listen to me, just go ahead and give it a go, you’ll be able to make your own deductions in like 3 months. I don't know what skeletons you have in your closet from your employment with Jazz b...

Re: Does anyone know what the MEC is actually trying to get out of the ULP?

Many years ago when I was at Jazz, a wise old captain told me how he had turned down an offer from AC because everyone was sure that the CIRB would merge AO with AC and he'd get elevated seniority at AC. Sounds a lot like this thread. Things change. And so did ACs interference and direct interventi...

contractually, 30% of AC new hires has to come from JAZZ.. Historically, it wasn't a guarantee. See ULP post

Re: Fall classes

Absolutely. Attrition to AC is outstripping hiring in a hurry. Not sustainable. What’s the plan? Going down to 80 tails next year. 25 E175 25 Q400 and 30 CRJ so I’ve been told. I am certain that was always the plan. And with the reduction is transborder passenger traffic, AC Commercial is likely re...

I have a question as an outsider, I was surprised that even though both the pilot and FA group work for the same company, there weren’t really any pilots at the strike? For all the people complaining about section 107, it was weird to see not much solidarity I saw pilots there. I can only speak for...

One thing is for sure, the FA group is far more tenacious and headstrong (ballsy) than AC pilots can ever dream to be. Your FAs have now made you look like wimps and your sudden capitulation at the wrong time in your own negots are revealing of the inadequacies of your group and the false confidenc...

I don't want anyone else to have to go through that, and the FAs certainly aren't. They are getting total compensation close to 50 thousand dollars on year one and receiving every benefit you can possibly receive. As a first job with no required education or skills. Its an amazing compensation offe...

Is this going to delay or simply just PFO those who are in the running but not express ?
Don't worry, they only need 30% of their new hire from jazz and hasn't been honoring that number usually
