Wink Boo Hoo WJer's?

Boo Hoo WJ'ers...

Your flight attendants make bubkus...

Tell that to the F/A's that own their own homes and have the $500,000 portfolio's...

Your ticket agents make min wage..

Nope, sorry on that one WDE. 90% of the industry average in salary + Profit Sharing+ the Employee Share Purchase Plan. See $500,000 portfolio's and owning their own home above.

And your pilots clean the garbage from the paying public..

Not quite. However I have no problem helping in the back crossing a seatbelt or two, making eye contact with the people who pay my salary and picking up a newspaper or empty bottle.

Do you have trouble climbing off your wallet, crawling out of the cockpit and checking out the cabin?

WJ has been very successful in brainwashing the public as to their "low fares" but if you shop around you can get similar fares with AC without having to fly through YWG

Hmmmm, I guess you haven't heard of our Non-Stop flights? YYC - YYZ,YHM,YOW,YXU. YEG - YYZ,YOW,YHM. YVR - YYZ.

Profit sharing is great, but it is on the backs of the working stiffs on the ramp/at the gates.

The "Stiffs" at the gates and on the ramp in Calgary are all elligable and do recieve Profit Share.

WJ has also had no burden of maintaining non-profitable route structures..Grand Prairie, ABis one example...WJ goes is, killls the market for AC, then leaves because they can't make any money..

Enlighten me. Leaves? We are still in Grande Praire, several times a day in point of fact. With very nice loads thank you very much. You are correct in one respect however, if we can't make money on the route we won't stick around. We are not running a charity. Use it, or lose it.

Sounds like the spoiled brats of Calgary want their cake and want to eat it too...

Really don't know what you are talking about here... Off your meds I suppose...

Their day of reckoning is coming...Wake up Clive, there will be a union there one day...

We have an in-house association, and we as a Pilot group have done very well by it.

All the employee's are represented by PACT our in-house association. They have done very well also.

I'm thinking someone has a serious case of sour grapes and needs to "lighten up"...

End of Rant

End of rebuttal.
