For what it's worth....IMHO
Air Canada should suspend operations as soon as it can. Wind it down. Shred the Union Contracts neither side likes and keep it closed for several months in order to re-group, re-shape and re-emerge.
During which time it could change it's name to Air Canada AS-IT-SHOULD-BE, 2004 Inc., or whatever??? and hire an entirely NEW common sense work force while they're at it. Perhaps if this were done, the pilot group from ACPA would't be so preoccupied with throwing their toys out of their playpen?
The utter nonsense spewing from the mouths of most AC malcontents is not only suspect but unprofessional. Top to bottom. Start to finish.
With such 'happy' surroundings how does this airline stand a chance to suceed??????
Time to cut some losses and get on with a new chapter. A chapter that doesn't include most of the boneheads 'stirring the pot' on so many pilot Forums. This is ridiculous and starting to get painfully boring.
You've got a job. You're getting a regular pay cheque. Flying great equipment and life isn't perfect. Really?
Consider yourself lucky (for now). And please, go down to the Union Hall to do your whining?
Fact is, CP never failed. Never closed it doors. AND, despite the fact that some ACPA members would have you believe otherwise, let's set the record straight.
ACPA DID NOT save CPs butt!!! Full Stop!!!
A business decision was made as the Canadian Gov't held a gun to ACs head. Simple as that. ACPA wasn't the savior it's members like to think they were. Nor did they have a say in the AC Board of Directors decision to commit suicide. Perhaps Jerry could've turned CPs fortunes around and now with AC on the ropes they could have been the ones to deliver a death blow to AC? Theorize as you wish as far as who saved whom but is it even worth it at this point?
I think it's time some of you AC whiners re-read ex330s post and consider yourselves lucky. Damn lucky!!! Get on with the job and show more pride in yourself and your profession to keep Big Red flying.
...AND LIVE TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY if that's what you insist on doing?

Breguet, whatever about the Feds giving AC money, the decision to stop foreign cargo out of CYHZ is going to cost the fishing industry there a bundle because the AC pax flights can't uplift the required cargo with the same reliability (pax bags come first) and quick delivery. But it's to protect AC apparently!

Dear Mulligan,
Sorry for your recent lose and sir, my i take my hat off to you. Your words presented the truth and i have nothing but respect for you. The issue of the list will last for a very long time and i myself am walking away rom the issue. As i have said, if pilots possessed your intelligence , the profession would be respected. All the best.
