Hey meaw,

i THINK YOU ARE PRBABLY BITTER because you did not make it in to AC. We have one of the best safety records in the world and one of the best on time performance.......not typycal of unprofessional pilots. As far as being slackers.......you are an i....t.Most guys flying here spent years and years flying in the bush,loading and unloading palnes doing the refueling, flying their asses off at charter airlines or in the military.The average pilots had to work like a dog for at least 10-15 years to get in.

I guess AC pilots are not known for their spelling, regardless, we have a similar background among our pilot group. Who said I wasn't with AC previously? I note that your airline performance is in the top 50...nice!

No one here is an ab-initio BS who was in the right seat of an Airbus with 200 hours so you have no clue what you are saying.

Actually, you’re wrong on that account. AC hired many from Seneca College in the late 70's and early 80's all with only 200 hours. Most are still in AC.

As far as having a strong union, in aviation you need one.....I will refer you to the 49 rs thread , or the QR threads or the EK treads or MAS or whatever one you want to pick.A strong union is a must but that in no way means we are not reasonable or slackers we just work our buts off and sacrificed big to get here and we deserve RESPECT.

Sure, look what the strong unions did in the USA. During the profitable years they strong-armed the airlines to pay a ridiculous salary and benefits which directly affected the ability of the airlines to survive a recession. Also, didn't anyone ever tell you buddy that you earn respect not demand it. Yup, your a bush pilot.

As far as Canada being boring guys you do not know what you are talking about.I am still waiting to hear from you what it is that WE do not have here that you do.Believe me saying we are boring is prejudicial. Why dont you come for a weekend in Montreal ,we ll go out on the town and I bet you will be commuting from Canada.

So what makes you think that I and many others don't already live here? Or maybe we could if we chose to. Oh ya, it's what we do not have that makes it great...HIGH TAXES!

Oh and before I forget Dude......when you say we are only paid to fly and keep our mouths shut.....I see communism is really doing wonders on you.

Sure does comrade!
