Re: Flair rehires all laid off employees
This program is only until June 6th. Does anyone in their right mind think airlines will be ramping up or even relatively close to ramping up, not a chance.
This program is likely just the Federal governments way of using one of the largest/hardest hit industry to alleviate pressure on the EI system. Take AC alone for example, with one payment they’re able to alleviate 16,000+ EI applications and look like heroes while doing it. Less than 2 months from now those 16,000+ will most likely all be back applying for EI however, the system has had time to work through all the smaller more diverse applicants and the federal government can come out and say they did all they could while still trying to look like heroes.
Even if the ramp back up begins in the near future, AC wouldn’t need all 16,000 employees right away, it will be a slow methodical rebuild, what other reason is there for keeping them all on a payroll to do nothing.

Re: Flair rehires all laid off employees
The article suggests, not only are they taken back, but, at full wage, not just the 75% covered by subsidy. Kind of setting the bar, lets see if any of the other airlines pony up in a similar manner.

That is correct, they were brought back at full wages and all downgraded pilots reinstated. Hope the other airlines can do the same.goldeneagle wrote: ↑Thu Apr 09, 2020 7:13 am The article suggests, not only are they taken back, but, at full wage, not just the 75% covered by subsidy.

While their will be some pilots sitting there are plenty of flight ops projects to keep others busy in non flying roles as needed.

Re: Flair rehires all laid off employees
Well you know what? If that happens, that's 2 more months an employee can earn a full wage. Wouldn't you want that for yourself, friends, family etc? This is positive news. Not sure why you don't see that.Yycjetdriver wrote: ↑Thu Apr 09, 2020 7:10 am This program is only until June 6th.

Wow... that's unexpected... Nice!!
As an AvCanada discussion grows longer:
-the probability of 'entitlement' being mentioned, approaches 1
-one will be accused of using bad airmanship

This is a positive sign.
I sure hope their maintenance department is better funded and pays more attention to detail than their IT department...
I will dance the sky on laughter-silvered wings.
