They actually said yes to the reserve committee and I am honestly still in total shock that this is finally happening. It feels like such a long time since we started getting those employee numbers in the comments and now we can actually start ironing out the fairness issues we …
We Feel that all 3 Air Transat bases (YYZ, YUL, YVR) needs a reserve committee.
With this committee we will oversee the fairness regarding the distribution of flights given to reserve members and help eliminate favoritism. We will also improve the working conditions for our members who are on reserve. We would work on improving quality of life by finding ways where both the company, the Employee and the Union can benefit from. For example, adding a key on PBS where the cabin attendant can choose his guarantied day off, therefore avoiding book offs.
Furthermore, we would like to work with Air Transat to improve e-crew, such as being able to see who will be next to be called. This could help eliminate no shows, personal emergencies and book offs.
We do understand that we may not be able to change working conditions until the next contract in 2010.
With the permanence of some crew members being on reserve for many years it calls for specific attention.
With you signing this, you are showing the Air Transat union that there is a need for this committee and you support this committee in it entirety.
Please write your employee number in the comment section. Thank you for your support.
I have been hearing so many stories about the reserve struggle and honestly it just confirms that we absolutely need this committee to handle the favoritism stuff because the current system is just not working for anyone involved. I am currently trying to find the right people in the union to sit down with so we can map out how to actually pitch the PBS day off idea without everyone just shutting the door on us immediately.
