00:00 - 00:03 | The company has significantly reduced routes throughout the network |
00:04 - 00:05 | Leading to significantly less pilots required |
00:05 - 00:07 | We have negotiated a new agreement |
00:08 - 00:12 | to keep as many pilots as possible on property |
00:12 - 00:15 | All pilots will recieve guarantee minimum monthly pay |
00:17 - 00:19 | Yes the Federal Wage Subsidy |
00:19 - 00:21 | should allow the company to keep paying the pilots the min 75 hours |
00:24 - 00:26 | We have negotiated a new minimum monthly guarantee |
00:27 - 00:28 | of 55 hours |
00:31 - 00:33 | We decided we needed to act without the negotiating committee |
00:34 - 00:36 | or a vote to expedite the agreement |
00:53 - 00:58 | All long sleevers and pilots who wear cargo shorts please leave the room |
01:13 - 01:15 | 55 hours a month?? My flat pay wage won't even pay for my shit |
01:15 - 01:17 | Toyota Corolla I bought from a 777 Captain AFTER his kid was done with it. |
01:18 - 01:23 | I've been in aviation for a decade and the flight attendants laugh at my pay check |
01:25 - 01:28 | They won't even let me buy them coffee because they think I'm a bum |
01:29 - 01:31 | Don't worry, you can be a sim instructor |
01:31 - 01:34 | I've been commuting to that shithole of Dixon Road for 2 years |
01:34 - 01:37 | looking for cheap hotels like a prostitute |
01:37 - 01:40 | And eating boiled eggs from a kettle |
01:40 - 01:42 | Eggs are an excellent source of protein |
01:42 - 01:46 | Do you know how little my second pay check is each month? I wouldn't buy me a god damn foot long |
01:46 - 01:48 | Flat pay is only for 4 years |
01:48 - 01:52 | US Airlines don't even know what flat pay is! |
01:53 - 01:54 | ACPA couldn't negotiate themselves out of a paper bag |
01:56 - 01:57 | I am sick of hearing we will "get'em next time" |
01:57 - 02:00 | Worldwide pilot shortage and we are paid less than truck drivers |
02:00 - 02:03 | Now we have a goddamn pandemic we will be told |
02:04 - 02:08 | "be happy you get to fly planes for a living" |
02:08 - 02:13 | I may as well just get a pair of overalls and become a garbage man |
02:14 - 02:16 | At least then I could get an actual pension |
02:17 - 02:21 | And I won't have to fly till I die which is what it will take after this |
02:27 - 02:29 | All I wanted was to get my own personalized license plate |
02:30 - 02:34 | 320 CPT or SKIPPER had a nice ring to it |
02:34 - 02:36 | And even buy my own Bad Elf to get a proper GPS signal |
02:41 - 02:42 | If ACPA brings back Jalmer Johnson |
02:43 - 02:47 | I am going to tell them shove their dues up communication team's ass |
02:48 - 02:53 | that can't figure out how to make a Twitter account |
02:54 - 02:56 | They can't even send out an email |
02:56 - 02:59 | for a vote with the correct date |
03:00 - 03:02 | And don't get me started on meetings with the company at Maple Leaf games |
03:04 - 03:07 | Don't cry - at least the CEO is competent |
03:14 - 03:16 | Maybe we can bring back Kevin Vaillant |
03:19 - 03:23 | and he can get Ben Smith back to help |
03:25 - 03:26 | They were besties |
03:31 - 03:33 | Maybe we can learn to run a webinar |
03:40 - 03:46 | that doesn't sound like HF Radio from the Titanic |
03:46 - 03:49 | Then even a proper message board |
03:53 - 03:56 | One can dream |
