With recent events one has to look at the way the Pilots received the news that Air Canada would acquire the 777 and 787 from Boeing. The OAC Pilots organized, cooperated and quashed the proposed salary structure and the deal went kaput. They flexed what they perceived was their muscle to prove a point to Air Canada management.
The deal has since been re-negotiated and 777's and 787's are planned for the fleet in the coming years.
It is my guess that the OAC Pilot's will mount the same sort of "strategy" to disrupt the work place to force management's hand. In the process they will cut off their own noses, inconvenience many of Canada's traveler's and lose market share to other carriers in Canada and abroad. Instead of "makin' hay while the sun shines" they will sabotage whatever growth or benefit the current booming economy will provide...
I don't think management at Air Canada will put up with it, and I think it will get ugly way before it gets better...
