New Flair payscle, highest starting rate in the country

[CaptDukeNukem]

Like a parent poorly explaining their divorce to their children.

Explaining a divorce to your child in the style of...

- Flair: "Honey, mommy is leaving daddy. Here's 5 dollars, go to the store and buy yourself some sweets. The house may or may not be here by the time you get back."

- Encore: "Honey, mommy and daddy are not getting a divorce, because mommy shot daddy. And if you cry about it, I will kill myself."

- WestJet: "Honey, mommy and daddy are breaking up. Here's a pony to make you feel better. I bought it with your college fund."

- Jazz: "Honey, daddy is leaving us, but don't worry, I will never leave you. Never. Ever. I'll make sure nobody else will ever love you. Stay with mommy."

- Air Canada: "Honey, no, we're not really getting a divorce. I mean, daddy left the house years ago, but as long as he's not married to someone else it's not really a divorce. No she's just a friend. Anyway, can you help mommy by doing the dishes? Taking out the trash would be nice as well. Maybe vacuum the house while you're at it? Love you."

- Sunwing: "Honey, mommy and daddy are getting a divorce. But don't worry, we found a new set of parents for you! Now play nice with your 1500 new brothers and sisters."

I don't have anything to do with these guys but for the life of me, I still can't understand the hate on for Flair. Judging by some of these comments, it's like everyone is secretly cheering for their demise. If we want wages and working conditions to improve in this country we should be cheering them on. If anything happens to Flair, it's bad news for any other pilot group in Canada working towards a raise, especially for the "world class contract" AC pilots are hoping for.

Pilots in this country...we're our own worst enemy.

Why? Everyone is lining up for the legacies in the US and they still got huge raises. You get what you negotiate. Having a pilot shortage will help, but it shouldn't make any difference to AC's next contract. Even with poverty wages for the first 4 years AC is still filling classes. They just keep lowering the experience level when the pool dries up.
