Re: Air Transat Leases Transavia France 737’s

despite the fact that these will be seasonal jobs.
but it's an improvement if there's a possibility to generate enough seniority/movement to obtain a permanent position.

Re: L'Association des Gens de l'Air et vous

Re: Air Canada Rouge cabin crew to pay for their training

personally, I often read Panama's posts, it's always nice to read someone's opinion who tries to understand things from several points of view than just A/B and nothing in between, but I digress.
