From the Q and A #4 posted today.
Similar to the Contract Training Pilot section, is there any
other MOS/tentative agreement language that has not
been disclosed?

There is nothing specifically excluded from the settlement. The
document attempts to capture spirit and intent. It is important to
realize that the union committee and the Company spent months
at the table discussing the issues and developing complete
understanding of the principles. As such, the MOS can’t possibly
convey all of the nuances of what was discussed and agreed. This
is why it is critical that the Negotiating Committee also participate
in the implementation phase.
If the MOS is ratified, the parties will need to reconvene to draft
the actual Collective Agreement language which captures the
principles (which could also take months for a complex
settlement).
One other thing that was agreed to but not in the MOS. Back pay to January 1. Also that if you get PFO'd again it wouldn't count to the max %10 turn down rate.

I've avoided the crew room banter and the mess that is FB, and as always I take everything from avcanada with a grain of salt.

I've read the MOS in its entirety. I've scrutinized the uploads to the ALPA site. I've watched the road show Q&As. The more I dig, the more skeptical I get.

Unless I see it written and signed on, to me, it means as much as a rumour in the crew room. Clarification with the company should happen before the MOS is presented to the pilot group and voted on. Not after. 'spirit' and 'intent' can change quickly.

Rowdy,
While I have no doubt you scrutinized the information, I do have doubts you did your homework.
Your demands, for lack of a better description are unrealistic, can you point to any other CPA provider that has YOS for upgrades, how about you list the airlines in Canada that do and we’ll go from there.
What’s your plan b, how do you propose we attain your demands, just saying voting no will do it does nothing to make me feel better about it.
What’s the plan, we don’t have any so called leverage, would you be completely fine with continuing on the current contract and seeing what happens in 5 years? Seriously that’s the likely outcome of a no vote, good luck with your application at SR, you’ll be behind me in the process. If we vote this down, I will take my 13 years at Jazz and 25 years of experience to them, DEC now sounds better to me than your plan of hoping for the best.
Guess we’ll find out tomorrow,
Signed concerned Jazz pilot

Well said.

If this goes down I too will be one of the first to make my exit. 2025 won't be so good for Jazz.

Imagine if you were the only game in town how much bargaining leverage you would have.....

Oh, wait. The AC and WJ pilots own exclusive rights to their flying yet both ended up with de facto b scale operations at Rouge and Swoop courtesy of arbitrations foisted on them by the Minister of Labour. Both groups stuck with 2% raises.

Many are howling at the wind about hopes to achieve monumental gains. It will not happen. Small gains at every opportunity are more likely. That is how ACPA has fought its way back from the 2010 arbitrated collective agreement.

With the horrible conditions "negotiated" by ALPA with both this current JAZZ MOS4 and the Swoop disaster, AC pilots would be utterly insane to let ALPA in. ACPA even with all its flaws, has shown itself to be much more effective and capable.

In twenty years time when your kids ask how you got into flying you want to be able to say "work and determination" not "I just kept taking money from your grandparents for type ratings until someone was stupid enough to give me a job"

It's ok, ALPA doesn't want AC anymore. Not after the shit their union leaders pulled at the ALPA Canada Board meeting/elections.

How are we screwing over the industry? I made 150k last year at Jazz and make more than a Swoop captain.

I'm a year two Captain and take home more than a year two WJ Captain. Sure they have their big stock match but have you seen the direction the stock has been going? I'll take my ESOP and DC pension. And more money in my pocket.

As a former jazz captain you must be one heck of an overtime whore and even at that I still highly doubt that you make more than any WestJet captain (swoop excluded).

Everyone was posting friend's pay stubs online last week. Take home every two weeks is just over $2k for a WJ Capt. I take home that as a Jazz Capt on my 40 credit 25th pay check

And more usually on the 10th.

Not an ot whore but I do one or two easy WDO a month.

You’re most welcome. We just secured the majority of the AC Express flying under the best working conditions of any regional and quite frankly any others.

This is a great day 😊
