I too know Gilles personally and he is not getting a red cent from TS to fight this battle, infant he started fighting it long before layoffs were a reality..

So show us the proof....

Hard to say if its postsble or not. You can find most pay scales online on sites like airlinepilotpay.com likely a question for the MEC I started looking for it in my Contract booklet and got side tracked reading recall rights

Bon vacance Gilles!

Agreed OPEC6- HEAVY I have mentioned before that Sunwing have taken initiatives to increase flying in the slow season and also introduce seasonal positions in the winter to increase Canadian hiring. A year ago I said "Time will tell". Today we are seeing changes and improvement over last year and g...

I've heard AC make calls on 26.7 going into YMM on many occasions.

I'm pretty sure Westjet, Air Canada and yes....Air Transat questioned the CTA decision.

Not to mention many pilots from many company's including Sunwing....

Continue questioning Gilles motives if you like, it's a free country after all... For my part I'll continue to question yours Fasken..

Cheers

and our British counterparts are also an excellent group of very experienced, well disciplined pilots. My appologies for assuming that you were YUL based. My understanding is that the relationship between Sunwing and your British partners is very near reciprocal, and well supported on both sides, i...

Mr hunter has already counted Wet Leased pilots in a number of news articles. The problem is he only counts it one way.....so sure lets count the wet leased pilots from Canada this summer and put it up against the number brought in this summer on the 767 program and the 13 737's. What would the rati...

Have not heard a peep, I doubt there will be anything more than some seasonal recalls for next spring...

Used mine on the dash and loved it then one of the speakers on my QC15’s bit it so its in storage till I find someone to fix them for me.

Hah I knew you'd be all over that Gilles!

Thanks to some mining unions suing their asses...

Maybe it's time to stop writing letters and start hiring lawyers?

Cheers

No surprises here....

Gilles does all this work in his spare time, while flying a full sched and taking care of his family.....and he is in no fear of being touched by the TS layoffs but he's fighting harder than most to help his fellow pilots from every company in Canada. Yes Gilles I'd like you to have a hobby other th...

Did any of the Transat guys/gals who have 737 NG ratings receive a call from either company?

I worked there for 4 years, good company great people...my info is all out of date though, I'm sure they need people !

I can tell you that every single Sunwing pilot also wants to see more Canadians flying for Sunwing. Would love to see your sixty friends over here Gilles. I also have some very good friends there at Air Transat. In fact if I was not flying for Sunwing, I would of been applying to work there too! He...

These days I love flying.....but hate being a pilot.

What is ACPA, ALPA , CAW et al doing about this? Scuba_Steve, I can assure you ALPA Canada is very active in this fight, through the past couple years they have made presentations to the government. This is the latest I've seen, it's from our MEC meeting update. "Canada Board President Captain Dan ...

Gilles,you left the second part of the question unanswered. I appreciate what you're trying to do and thank you for it. But what the @&$# is ALPA doing? Seems to me that it should be their concern as well. What's the use for members to pay their membership fees then? It should be one of their numbe...

ea306 - I wish you guys all the best, I hope you're able to get a good contract, and hire more Canadians. I'd happily come drive a 737 for you Guys and spend a few summers in Europe. More jobs for Canadians is always a good thing

Cheers
