Just curious, are you serious?derateNO wrote: ↑Sat Feb 15, 2020 9:44 pm I disagree. With the new 17 year CPA it's shown AC wants LONG TERM stability. The best LONG TERM stability is bringing it back in house. Air Canada already learned that trying to suppress wages and creating infighting between different groups doesn't work AKA GGN. Jazz does the job better than anyone else in Canada and the nay sayers will argue, but it really is a very well run company. AC could benefit from having some of their management and training management integrate into Big Red and fix all the multitude of issues we have.
I would vote in favor of a new LOU/pay tier at AC for a Regional under 76 seat category as long as the scope language was locked up tight and their list was stapled to the bottom of ours (with seat and list protection for the Sr. guys). It would bring AC jobs back to AC and pilots would start accruing seniority from day one flying a Q400 or CRJ. Plus AC could tap the huge amount of experience sitting in pretty useless positions like RP to go left seat in the CRJ or Q400. Right now it's 9 months to the left seat of a CRJ at Jazz, and that's a problem.
You seem to be but I can only assume if you are, you’re out of touch with reality.
Without looking for the actual language in the ACPA collective agreement, my understanding is if AC owns 20% of another airline, those pilots will be on the ACPA seniority list, it would be no different than the current AT/ACPA discussion.
I would not support any “stapled” list, protections or not. This does not protect my relative seniority as every single AC pilot would be senior and could parachute in every time there was a vacancy.
AC only needs 10% more of Jazz and we’ll find out what happens but I’m fairly certain it won’t be a stapled list. Personally I don’t think CR would want to open that can of worms, it’s more likely Jazz will absorb SR flying and be the only Express carrier.
