Wow.
I don't know for sure but I'm guessing your medical benefits plan covers some form of anger management. You should probably avail yourself.
Maybe ego management too.

Wow.
The Swoop spots are being offered to Encore pilots before it goes OTS. It’s been that way since the middle of June. I don’t believe we can bid on the Captain bypass positions though.co-joe wrote: ↑Thu Aug 23, 2018 11:04 am Out of curiosity, does anyone know where Encore pilots fit into this mess?
This is from 2 months ago, but shouldn't any unfilled Swoop spots be offered to Encore pilots before they go OTS?Re: WestJet pilots to fly Swoop aircraft

Just saw a fresh ad on indeed.ca today for Swoop FOs. What’s the deal with that?
Arbitrator stated WJ could open the Swoop ad on June 12 in case no pilots bid the position, that would allow Swoop to hire OTS - only if the positions are not filled internally. Clear as day in the Interim Order. This was expected weeks ago.

From the Encore side, let’s just say that we are playing with the cards that we are dealt.co-joe wrote: ↑Thu Aug 23, 2018 11:04 am Out of curiosity, does anyone know where Encore pilots fit into this mess?

Maybe I am mistaken, but I thought it was ultimately up to Mr. Kaplan if they are able to or not.
The formal process sounds like it’s foreign to the ALPA MEC as well......what a joke this is becoming! We’re going to be lucky to come out of this with what we have. We aren’t any further ahead then we were a year ago.B757FO wrote: ↑Tue Sep 04, 2018 3:29 pm Your correct. But the company would have to apply first which would probably happen on the 7th then Kaplan decides ya or nay. Then company can appeal if Kaplan denies it. More time goes by. Well shall see this weekend how it goes. This formal process is foreign to me except what Alpa mec has said which is where I got the info from.
Hope it’s done soon.

WJ is years away from being able to staff any sort of reserve system. The supply of pilots in Canada isn’t enough to support AC’s hiring let alone WestJets hiring forecast (and that’s without reserve).FurHat wrote: ↑Sat Sep 08, 2018 10:29 amNo one will be able to with the introduction of reserve.lostaviator wrote: ↑Sat Sep 08, 2018 7:59 amNot everyone is able to drop their entire schedule and rely solely on OT to prop up their T4.WeedPro2000 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 08, 2018 6:26 am I’ll bite...what exactly are those gains?
