... you are both a couple of pudknockers. Thanks for hi-jacking the thread...
In the matter of AC Regional Carrier pilots wanting to sit in Air Canada metal at their regional date of hire and all that very Canadian "
gimme gimme gimme what you got" stuff... it is evident that Canada has become a nation of soft thinking, entitlement oriented pretenders. What gall.
OAC guys, I hope you get out from under the yoke of these weinerheads trying to use the legal system to wrangle your jobs away from you.
What a disgrace.
Mr/Mrs/Ms/Miss Moderator - please shut this thread down.

I've contacted an old friend at AC and have the answer I was seeking anyway.
... and yes, unfortunately, it looks like there will indeed be a downbid this fall.
