While you might get the impression from the vocal minority here that WJ/Encore/AC are unimpressed with Alpa, that is not the case. Believe it or not, what you read on avcanada is not representative of the truth. Crazy right! I think you will see WJ/Encore stay long term with Alpa; whether ACPA eventually goes ALPA is anyone’s guess

Imagine how much stronger ALPA would be in Canada if Air Canada pilots ditched ACPA and joined ALPA.pelmet wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 4:06 pmThe AC pilots definitely seem to be upset with their union.imjustlurking wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 11:57 amEven with Swoop, from what I've heard on the line, the vast majority of pilots are happy with ALPA.

That is true. Greater membership numbers equals more power. I am not sure if the old CALPA was a branch of ALPA or totally separate.imjustlurking wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 5:18 pmImagine how much stronger ALPA would be in Canada if Air Canada pilots ditched ACPA and joined ALPA.pelmet wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 4:06 pmThe AC pilots definitely seem to be upset with their union.imjustlurking wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 11:57 am
