My opinion?
Bailout before April 19
Transat acquired by AC.
Alpa representation vote wins after the merger
Alpa in house at jazz and ac
Common employer by 2025
Jazz DOH merger and buyout of senior guys to protect widebody captains at AC
Flat pay removed at AC because ts CUMULATIVE years salary is superior the first 7 years. Win for Junior Ac pilots considering about 50% of positions are less than 6 years in at TS? Take the 50% on in the junior ranks, and remove flat pay? Not bad right? Ts pilots win with other segments of ac ca where ts stands to gain. At the expense of the loss in lifestyle that you had at ts. Win some lose some. I don’t think ac pilots will ever truly understand how lucrative the lifestyle was at ts. Yes even at expense of not making 300k as a year 12 guy. Settle for 260 and work 350 hours a year? With the majority layover being 48-72 hrs in those ranks? Pretty sweet.
While I don't think DOH, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a Jazz/Ac consolidation somewhere down the line if ALPA represents AC pilots eventually. ALPA pilots at both carriers, both Express/AC are AC flights, why should the activity remain separate? Wouldn't AC pilots benefit if all AC flying was done in-house? It was like so about 20 years ago, so why won't it be like that in the future? I'd be curious what you guys think.
Let's see what happens.
It’s AC decision if it wants to consolidate Jazz, not the pilots.
