RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:That’s all folksI'm not interested by your personnal attacks. I'm stronger than that.
The problem is that you didn't understand that a nation wide strike at Air Canada is a wider problem than AC and its pilots. Population and Governments are directly concerned and will act if necessary. And if the public approval barometer bench strongly on the governemnt intervention side; it will be done.
At this point, Pilots feelings will not count in the balance.
Personal attack? I said you were/are naive and funny (funny for posting as if you know what's going on when you really don't ). Look, if you take anything that has been leaked as an accurate representation of reality you are naive. The company is spinning disinformation.
AC currently has a 44% market share domestically. Westjet, AC Jazz, Porter, etc will add capacity and the impact might be a 40% loss of capacity (maybe even as low as 35%) in Sept when nobody needs to travel anyways. Yup, maybe the gov intervenes but it's not the slam-dunk you and other posters seem to think. I'm thinking the libs back off from the intervention - don't want to alienate the 30% of the workforce that are union members, still dealing with the rail situation worried about what Jughead might do, etc.
Anyway, I'm done discussing it. You, and a couple of other posters, seem to think it's a slam dunk, forced, final binding arbitration. I don't. We'll see in about 12 days.
Personally I'm going to wait for three days after the strike/lockout starts, right after the labour minister says he's not going to intervene and, then, put in the buy order. Should be the nadir.
