Me me me me me starting up again? You don’t think everyone wants fair? You really have a shit perception over the quality of the brothers and sisters joining you. Have you ever Jumpsat with ts? They’re probably the chilliest and coolest guys and gals you’ll ever have the pleasure of working with. Hence why they’re so happy all the time.
Dude, you’re reading into what executives are saying way too much. They say things they’re required to say to create a public perception in line with what ever agenda it is that the c-suite has.
One very small thing for example, ts isn’t going to come out and say everything looks rosy because about 90% of the passengers who want their refunds will be knocking on the doors. That just one concept in why a pr will be spun a certain way. There are about hundred other items on the agenda they’re mindful of.
Now, as for what transat does or doesn’t bring, I’d be careful how you perceive these guys “career choices”
Why? It seemed that anyone you spoke to at AC pre-pandemic gloated about how great rouge is. Draft, 2x, 2.5x, no reserve, young fas on layovers, etc. So by definition, the very job which was transat, ac fan boys were jumping into. Likely because it restored some glory in the job as opposed to a Heathrow layover with a crusty old crew.
Why do I bring this up? The very job that is transat, is what was started at rouge, and a large portion of you ac guys loved it. There were the ones who hated what it did to the contract and etc, but the majority loved it. So the very career choice you’re accusing ts pilots of was alike many of your own acpa siblings. So it’s good to recognize that and stop acting high and mighty. You’re not.
So now the very entity which was responsible for this great position you all rushed too (especially juniors like you fl280), is joining the house.
Now an arbitrator won’t care about any of that, but I do think you need to revisit your perspective a bit when you talk about these so called career choices.
More of those Glory positions will be available as we recover too. Likely that’s the sector which rebounds before anything else. There may appear doom and gloom right now, but that’s everywhere. Ts brings more pilots than jobs, but only in a landscape where all travel has essentially stopped. You watch, the moment we come out of this, how fast transat will grow and all I hope for you, is that you don’t lose so much sight over this nirvana over seniority, that you somehow end up on the sidelines waiting for a recall while every ts pilot is back to work. Sounds ignorant doesn’t it? Just about as ignorant as your bs about whether every ts pilot gets on property. Lol, 10 year recalls as someone said.
Now reality is that no bump or flush happens, but still, you have a lot of people who will take up spots between 3000-3500 as that’s where the relative hiring spree was at transat. So in your case, fl280, you may have to wait a bit longer to get back to work. Not because demand won’t be there for you, but because training slots will be maxed out for your 4000 Numbered position to get trained.
Every ts and ac pilot will have jobs coming out of this. Calm down man. You will retire a block holding wide body captain if that’s what you’re concerned over. Enjoy your break.
he's a troll. Top pay scale at AC (on the 777) isn't even 300K, yet TS now sits at 237K. Double or triple yeah sure
