Re: More WJ layoffs
Any word on recalls? With the US starting to come North it’s not going to look good for recovery!

Re: More WJ layoffs
Trudeau was also responsible for the unprecedented growth and record profits in the airlines too before the pandemic, I guess?
Not that it applied to Westjet. Maybe chock it up to yet another Albertan company pissing away the good times and then looking for a scapegoat.

Re: More WJ layoffs
Pissing away the good times? Air Canada has done a good job of that.
Re: More WJ layoffs
The fact that every airline has gone through the worst aviation year in history and not one has declared bankruptcy I’d say that none of them have pissed away good times.Zaibatsu wrote: ↑Thu Apr 22, 2021 8:22 pm Trudeau was also responsible for the unprecedented growth and record profits in the airlines too before the pandemic, I guess?

You'd almost think that it was managed by politicians from Alberta!
Everything has an end, except a sausage, which has two!

Re: More WJ layoffs
Your company took its most valuable resource, a dedicated pilot body that would LITERALLY pick garbage for free, and destroyed it with childish infantile revenge. But AC pissed away good times?
Delusional doesn’t even begin to describe it.
Re: More WJ layoffs
He's still upset that he never even got called...
Re: More WJ layoffs
Perhaps, but that doesn't make him wrong.

Re: More WJ layoffs
So, you don't feel the company has taken "its most valuable resource, a dedicated pilot body that would LITERALLY pick garbage for free, and destroyed it with childish infantile revenge"?
I strongly disagree with you on that point. The company has completely forsaken the value of morale and culture that built the success they have had to date and have adopted a antagonistic, "people are a cost not an asset" ideology.

Re: More WJ layoffs
At full WAWCON too, as per the CA.Further 106 being recalled October & November.
Imagine where we'd be if we voted for extended concessions. We'd all be eating sh!t for years to come.
Short term pain, long term gain.

Maybe the MOA’s would have been done by now, so we’d be back at full WAWCON with even greater numbers still employed cause the last round of layoffs wouldn’t have had to happen. The last two recall PSB’s numbers still fall short of the total number that lost their jobs/livelyhood/ability to put food on the table when the last vote failed.
Gain for a few, pain for many.

Re: More WJ layoffs
From what I've gathered, around 650 across the companies at the beginning of this month.
Re: More WJ layoffs
Heard a rumour by May 1 all are going to be back working but I haven’t seen anything confirming it.

Re: More WJ layoffs
All back by May 1st was an agreement made while in recent arbitration/dispute with Kaplan, among other things.
But of course there’s a clause at that end, similar to the clauses seen over and over in the pilots CBA, “unless due to circumstances out of the companies control”.
While I would love for it to come to fruition, part of me thinks management actually enjoys giving us these carrots and then taking them away, just because they can and covid will certainly still be around and a valid reason to exercise that clause.
