Of course there is this sticky Revenue Canada problem to address as to being able to collect your full pension and work for the same company, see how far one's rights are trampled by them.
The pension is a separate issue .... they will be allowed to continue receiving their pension or not. If the pension payments are discontinued. Vilven should get credit for 7-8 more years (or for as many years as he's been illegally forced onto his pension) and be allowed to renew payments and maybe get a larger "best 5" or "best 3" as applicable. Kelly could maybe improve on his best "last years". My logic is this ... The pension is a separate issue, they must be paid by Air Canada as per the position and rate that their seniority will get. Air Canada should take the high road, recognize the injustice and pay these individuals what they deserve ... what would Milton, Brewer or Rovinescu pay themselves?
