Guest gpsapr Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Is it just me or is there something wrong with the front cover picture on the Oct. edition. (it is an Air Canada RJ, is it not?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fasteddy Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 What good eyes you have...perhaps it's an omen...ACPA pilot on ALPA's magazine cover..what's up with that???Cheers Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanishing point Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Hmmm....you guys are pretty fast with the posts. I just got the mag today. Apparently an honest mistake was made and a correction is forthcoming. I think it's an omen as well (or at least a sign of things to come in a good way).

Guest traf Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Sorta sums things up. "ALPA dues at work". An ALPA regional cariers dues do exactly what the picture shows, they fund the mainline pilot groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.70 mach Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Kind of funny how we at Jazz bitch about this, and when there is a story in The Globe or The Post about Air Canada and they use a Jazz aircraft in the picture or a Jazz pilot we never say a peep. How can we ever get both sides to sit down when we can't even stop crying about what plane an editor used in error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzz2 Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Would you please leave Jazz already, all you do is bitch and take shots at your fellow employees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.70 mach Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Sorry if I offened you, I just thought it was funny how I walked into one crew room and the picture was up on the "Employee News" board. I walk into another guys are complaining about it. Then I sit down at the computer and notice a thread on the ALPA site. If it does sound like I am dumping on "our guys" , I sometimes think we have "bigger fish to fry".....sure I also help out with the union if that is going to be your next question.

Guest SARP Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 The same union you don't want to pay dues to anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.70 mach Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Did I actually say that I wanted to stop paying ALPA dues? I think it was an "off the cuff" comment regarding the lawsuit. What I want is for both sides to sit down and work something out to benfit the company and together lets go make this a profitable company. Before someone asks if I want the back door into the mainline I am in the pool as well and would prefer to find a solution for all of us. The staus quo at Jazz is not a pleasant place to work and yes me being in my early 30's am looking for something stable for the next 28 years before I hit the magic age of 60. Hope that helps.

Guest jazzplayer Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 "What I want is for both sides to sit down and work something out" What, do you live under a rock? What do you think has been tried for the last 10 years. These guys want to use your job for their security. Really, all you have to offer them is a warm corpse. If you must work at the mainline then I suggest you resign and then apply there behind the 317 on lay-off, give your head a shake. "Before someone asks if I want the back door into the mainline" You do sound like a backdoor kind of fellow by all means leave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fasteddy Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 I agree..also no harm done, or intended. The American editor make an honest mistake in describing the covershot as an Air Canada Jazz pilot boarding his CRJ, in Washington Dulles. Oh well...Cheers Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz2 Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 No actually it will be more of a statement, if you truly do help in the union, then please stop helping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HPT-TOUR Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 Ofcourse he made a mistake, who in their right minds would fly an RJ at the mainline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HPT-TOUR Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 You may get your wish regarding both sides getting together, were in front of Justice Winkler next month. As for your union work I hope its nothing that requires backbone or fortitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckedy Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 grow up people! you should be working together to get this aviation industry back on its toes. Instead all I hear on this forum is bickering between the two groups. You are only bringing this industry lower and lower by your actions in your words.

Guest PortTack Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 There are actually four groups. ACPA Senior, ACPA Junior, ALPA Senior, ALPA Junior.....my vote is to take the two senior groups who screwed this all up and woo them over to a nice tropical Island where they can fight until retirement. The rest can work something civilized out that helps both groups and the company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTFA Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 Hello PortTack, Could you please explain to me what the differences and/or the commonalities between the four groups are? I would love to talk about that. I would like to compare what you think the problems with the senior groups are with how you think the junior groups have any solutions.

GTFA Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 Wait a minute! Aren't here 5 groups? Let's throw the ex-ALPA ACPA group into the ring and see who they take swings at. Are they a catalyst for progress? Or not? Mr. McInnes has always been a very objective representative. Does he have something to say on this matter?
