The major problem I have is the deception that I feel took place. Most of the ppl flying at CP have a wife and kids to support. We all have bills that are more than first year FO pay can pay. EVERYONE who took this job had to weigh the pros and cons. We were told that we would be CA's (possibly checkairmen depending on the class) and we all were told to expect CA pay day one of class. I truly believe that they NEVER had any intentions of keeping these promises. Then week 2 of class we are told that we are being paid at year 1 FO pay and can expect CA pay once in IOE??? This again is a promise that will NOT be kept. I can attest these broken promises as I have been working here since June and still havent recieved 1 hour of CA pay although I have flown close to 50 hours as such.
I have also heard they will make it up on the following months check...didn't happen for the time I flew in August....and September make up check has come and gone.
I think everyone that can should attend the union meeting. I think it is tomorrow? Details if you have them.
If I had made this many lies about my resume in the interview you think it would be ok with them. When anyone is thinking of taking a job at least they should expect is too be told the truth. If they didn't intend to be paying CA pay until your out holding a line then they SHOULD have said this when asked in the interview. I REALLY don't like being lied too....Especially knowingly. To sit there and look me in the eye and deceive me knowing that you are putting my family on the line in regards to this pay really upset me.
