There seems to be confusion about the timeline. Here it is, all gathered from company and union emails and townhalls: Monday Company provides formal 45 day notice of intention to layoff required in the contract (confirmed by the CEO himself in his latest Q&A email). This starts the clock ticking. Th...

Did any of you jokers proclaiming $1 fares as the death knell of Flair actually look into it at all? The only seats being offered for $1 base fare are the northbound flights from places like CUN during the first week or so of the season that Flair is operating there. Almost nobody is booking a retu...

Basically yes. We get 10 paid sick days a year, plus 3 personal days for funerals/ sick family members etc and only min credit of 4 hours per day, so max of 52 hours of sick pay per year. The Jazz system is definitely better, not sure it's worth the 6 figure pay cut though. ;) Don't forget that tho...

"home every night" has become "flying every night, all night"

The current contract is a MMG of 85 credits. Maximum monthly block allowed is 92 credits. The LOU would lower MMG to 75 credits. It would allow the company to choose 4 months of the year where there is no monthly cap, CARs maximums would be the only limit on the monthly blocked hours. More money for...

I will be handing in my resignation if this passes. I am not willing to be worked like a dog for a third of the year.

Even worse, it passing would signal a pilot group that is willing to do that and will continue to.

Awesome idea. See you here in a few days (or weeks?).

ok start typing up those paragraphs because this is shitty

Don't forget working where you live (but we just closed two bases)

Crew are absolutely on reserve during CUN layovers.

And the reason navblue can't award a min 4cr/day is because if they told it to do that, it would actually do it, instead of following management's ridiculous interpretation of what a calendar day is.

nothing

pilots are also being sent from western bases to YYZ to be on reserve in a hotel room

there are a lot of holes in this contract

aircraft repossessions, two base closures, usurious loans not being paid down, CEO stating a financial reckoning is coming.

perfectly stable

more than half of Flair pilots are based in those two cities

how would you live with any kind of quality of life based in YVR or YYZ on 75k a year?

do you support paying pilots in accordance with the CBA?

YXX closing, now YOW. What base is next?

Bro you need to hydrate more

This really needs to change given that you spend 1/3 of that callout time just walking from your car to the gate

Aren't you a private pilot? GTFO of here with your flap operator shit.

hold out for J class deadheads
