Air Canada Express Re-Org.

Do the pilots go with the planes in this move?

Yes I have friend that works at sky and as long ALPA and company agree the pilots will be moved over to jazz. Similar happened to georgian and jazz. Jazz will be the sole air canada express operator. Long ago jazz was part of air canada and the pilots were on mainline payscale flying rj however most of their pilots move on to air canada with their mobility agreement aka “flow”

Well that's good news (relative to what typically happens in the US).

Since Jazz has guys currently furloughed it’ll be interesting to see how the call backs happen. I would imagine that the Jazz pilots will want to see 100% recall before a single Sky Regional pilot sets foot on property.
With the strict border closure in Canada it’ll be a while before call backs.

I admire Canada's discipline but if this was attempted in the lower 48 I'm pretty sure there'd be another civil war...
