Fred why don't you start a Union of Professional Pilots Canada?

Lots of captains on the board! How will helicopters be represented?

They'll probably tell us we work too many days and too many hour and we should restrict our flight and duty times .... then they'll tell us to form a union and ask for huge pay and benefits ....

Hmmmm... That's what I was thinking Jimmy. I'm already used to us being the ugly cousin that no one cares to know but I'm drawing the line at wearing epaulettes while bucketting! I'm sticking to the ratty t-shirt and carhartts....

But just imagine the look of joy on your bosses face when he finds out he has to pay you for every hour you are on duty plus flight pay ..... and then send you home after 4 days because you have worked 56 hours ..... plus put money into the pension fund .... the joy will be in knowing he will soon be broke and won't have to put up with this crap anymore ....

Nothing .... as far as I know. But then I know very little of HEPAC. I suppose if they had promoted themselves in a way that people could know more about them I would know more about them.

People might want to wait for a better flying year before any of this is brought up, or there may be allot of unemployed pilots. Maybe the overseas pilots were busy, but I don't hear of any overworked pilots in Canada this summer. Lots of pilot applications for work though!

You going to HAC this nov. Jim?
