Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Joint Implementation Committee
Q: What were the challenges of implementing the changes agreed upon in the contract?
The implementation process has revealed several challenges primarily revolving around IT complications and logistical constraints, particularly with respect to food service for pilots and managing the complexities of changes in scheduling and pay structures.
Ep#5 Part 2 Negotiations
Q: What can the pilot group do to help the negotiation committee at the table?
Show up to every uni event, wear the ALPA lanyard, and ensure management knows that all pilots support the committee.
Ep#6 The Protocol Agreement
Q: What does this agreement limit us from doing, this protocol agreement?
The agreement allows mediation and potentially declaring an impasse, which leads to filing for disputes under the Canada Labour Code.
Ep#6 The Protocol Agreement
Q: What will the next couple of months look like for both our negotiators and our pilots?
The pilot group can expect the pace of negotiations to change dramatically as the protocol agreement establishes a more structured timeline for discussions.
Ep#7 Collective Bargaining under the Canada Labor Code
Q: Why does language ambiguity in contracts favor the company?
Ambiguities can be exploited by the company to enforce policies in their favor, creating a disadvantage for labor.
