I think that's more a referendum on the relationship between the company and the pilots than the size of their cojones....

I didn't compare contracts I compared the size of the balls. Our group would have voted it in, you included.

Apples and oranges. Feel free, however, to conduct research into the relative size of balls amongst pilot groups.

I saw a lot of people screaming how we should have no problem flying 76 seaters at mainline. Air Canada does! Well Air Canada stood their ground on scope and went to arbitration. Look what it got them.

In addition to lowered salaries (4th year FO on ANY aircraft makes just $67K/yr...which is not enough to live on in Canada when over half of that is taxed and the cost of living is very high), but scope is completely wiped out.

The new contract provides Air Canada with the ability to get rid of 60 A320s and 60 Embraer 190s. The purpose of this is so they can send the aircraft to their new OFFSHORE BASED (yes thats right) Low Cost Carrier. You fellas think the scope erosion on the Delta TA was bad?...

You have ZERO idea how I would vote. And comparing what they voted on to what we voted on is apples to oranges.

I've never worked this hard in an airplane before. My guess is 110 credit on reserve when they're through having their way with me.

Bring on the new hires before this place starts melting down further!!

Fly,

Looking at the contract implementation schedule ALV+15 doesn't start until Dec., so they cannot take you over ALV without a YS. You can request to be shown full at ALV-2 and enjoy a few extra days off--or you can YS and go for the money. Maybe a good time to explore rolling some thunder.
