Yeah, 11years of commercial flying and two seperate companies with ALPA and all the big wages got me was layoffs and debt. Now WestJet has me with the house paid off by age 31 and money in the bank. With a union, the big dog eats, when he's done, the rest get what's left. I'll take my fantastic schedule, great pay, and excellent vacation at WestJet over any f#%king ALPA driven company. WestJet Pilots Asscoiation has a very democratic process in place for ensuring our future compensation and ensuring the health of our company.
As for considering WestJet pilots 'theives' of Transat Flying... consider the big dogs at Transat, consider what happened at a union meeting union years ago when you were voting for slightly less to keep some of 'your bretheren' employed and what the Big Dogs said.. 'let them be laid off'. I'll bet you didn't return the ALPA protection money to those people did you?
