The way we stop this nonsense is to vote NO.
I have voted no to every concession since being hired at Air Canada in 2000. The last vote only passed with 55% so I hope we are making some progress. I try to educate all those who will listen. But it is strange that they always say " I voted NO too". Who voted YES then?
The JAZZ 757 deal may be out of our hands for now due to the wording of the CPA. I think eventually JAZZ is going to piss off Air Canada to the point where they will cancel the whole deal.
I don't blame you personally, it is the ACPA mentality to always vote for what the MEC recommends. It is time for this to stop. Pilots are not stupid people. They don't need to be told how to vote.
Now back to the topic.....
As usual, Air Canada pilots are being told how bad age 65 is for them without knowing all the facts. The fact is most Air Canada pilots today will not reach 35 years of service at age 60, and most will benefit from going past age 60. But only if they want to.
