Negociations updateCopy of a post from AC Pilot on stocktwits. Very usefull post from him.
Bi Weekly Pilot Negotiations Update: I'll start with the facts
36 articles,
2 weeks left until the June 1 deadline
7 tentative agreement (+1)
5 close to agreements (+1) 19 in discussion (+2)
5 not yet addressed (-4)
A few days ago the pilots had a town hall (virtual meeting with negotiations committee and the MEC) The general idea is that the ball is in Air Canada's court the expectations have been given and the Union is waiting for Management to get back to them on almost all items.
Couple interesting notes I took from the meeting:
1. Pay rates have yet to be discussed. The union is waiting for AC to get back to them.
2. It took Management a while to get use to ALPA and learning how to actually bargain.
The first few months were a brick wall as they thought it would be like ACPA and they could just tell them what to do and the Union would simply agree
Personal opinion - 99.9% no TA (agreement) by June 1. Rumours Management wants to call an impasse June 1.
