At the end of the day one cannot bury the fact that this move by AC is yet another in an endless series of moves toward busting the pilot association and dividing the workforce.
Agreed. So why do you have such a problem with AC pilots being up front? Why such an anti union sentiment? There are a lot of great guys at AC and most of them just want to do a good job and see the company succeed. 555 has it there, guys just want to fly their block and do their part. LCC guys will actually be making less than their WJ/AT counterparts , so why exactly will they propel it to fail?

What is the relevance of the "union horse ****" you think you have heard before? I see the union comittees trying to make this implementation as smooth as possible despite the heavy hand the Harper government used and the overreaching of the company in the new contract. I also see guys with pretty moderate and progressive approaches being elected by the union membership to executive positions.

You also talk about not selling out generations to come, seems like that is what governments and corporations are doing globally and not just in our business. Seems Labour are one of the few groups trying to work against it, and the inaccurate statements and negative sentiment that are out there are sadly misplaced.

Also, didn't intend to insult you, really meant to be directed at your argument. Adversaries not Enemies, you know?
