RECENT COMMUNICATIONS


There was a misunderstanding regarding Nicolas' email yesterday. It was intended as a reminder of the procedure: to check in via VMO before travelling to the airport. If you forget, the dispatch will call you. You must answer this question. This allows them to confirm that all the crew members will be there in time for the flight.
First, we would like to inform you that the writing of the new agreement is progressing rapidly, and we expect it to be signed and in force before the end of the month.
The first step was taken this week, with the ratification of a new collective agreement. However, this new agreement is not yet active. It has to be written up, approved by both management and labour, and then all the departments concerned must receive the new instructions concerning our new agreement.
As mentioned in our last message, we are hosting a roadshow to present the new Tentative Agreement and allow you to ask questions to the negotiating committee and your MEC.
We met with management yesterday to discuss schedules and what their process was for forming them. The GDO's appear before the schedule is finalized, since they are placed first, regardless of the flights (only our bid).
Last week, your MEC attended the ALPA Canada Board meeting in Ottawa for two days. It was an opportunity to sit with the union leadership of other carriers to share and discuss successes and issues facing pilots across Canada.
