A Canadian majority government is just a four year elected dictatorship. I’m not apathetic towards the policies involved but the folks who believe their favourite party leader is their best friend and saviour of the country are in for disappointment.
Politics should be a boring procedural slog, leave it to the cult leaders to pander and promise the world.

I’ll try to keep this simple.
Trudeau Sr bankrupted your country in the 1970’s with reckless spending that took decades to partially recover from.
Canadians liked that so much, they elected Trudeau Jr repeatedly to again spend recklessly and drive everyone into the poorhouse. Again.

If you liked the last 9 years, vote for Fidel’s offspring again. If not, vote for someone else.

Sure looks like the senior pilots threw the junior ones under the bus. It is not a good look when just the pay bump for the top guys is more than the entire salary for a new hire.
Be interesting to see if it gets voted down. Every AC pilot I know thinks the CA is dog poop.

How? All anyone outside the negotiations team has done so far is answer survey questions for which I’d love to see a scatter plot of the results. I bet they’re wild. The membership hasn’t done anything to anyone yet, that will be up to a vote next month.Big Pistons Forever wrote: ↑Thu Sep 19, 2024 5:08 pmSure looks like the senior pilots threw the junior ones under the bus.
For the record I stand to get more of a raise than a first year pilot will make and I’m very, very junior. I wonder how much I’d have to give back to get the new hires and people not on property what they want.

Right? I haven’t read the full language but the summary sure seems like wins all around* and on a short-ish contract. I’m on team ‘take it and spend the next 2 1/2 years organizing and figuring out what next’ but I apparently can’t say that out loud at work.
*someone said profit sharing is potentially changing in a negative way but screw it, pay me today and every day instead of a heavily taxed little treat in the spring.

Looks like it passed today. There was still plenty of room for improvement but I’ll call it a soft win.
