Tim Perry 🇨🇦

Devastated to have lost two colleagues last night. Deeply grateful for the incredible support from the Canadian aviation and labour community. The fallen will live in our hearts. May they rest in peace.

Today my labour sensibility leads me to think of the Persian people. Because their government doesn’t reflect who they truly are, I think of a people whose hospitality knows no bounds, whose culture enriches the world, and who are sadly and consequentially terribly misunderstood.

A little friendly wager between friends! Just like on the map 🍁 will remain on top! @ALPAPilots and @ALPACanada getting in the Olympic spirit! @HockeyCanada #gocanadago

Manifestation à l'aéroport | «On ne veut pas quitter Air Transat: on veut que la compagnie survive» #Echobox=1763414129" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">985fm.ca/audio/737959/o…

Plus de 300 pilotes d'Air Transat se sont mobilisés aujourd'hui à YUL et YYZ. J'étais au micro du @le985fm à l'émission La Commission pour expliquer les raisons derrières cette demonstration publique ⬇️ @TSCPilotes @ALPACanada @ALPAPilots 985fm.ca/audio/737959/o…

Proud to speak in support of @TSCPilotes. The 13.5 thousand @ALPACanada pilots will not stand for @airtransat delays in reaching a fair contract. No more discount labour.

Honoured to lay a wreath on behalf of @ALPACanada, @ALPAPilots as we remember the fallen. Lest we forget.

Sad to share the news of Marc Garneau, former Minister and first Canadian in space, passing away earlier today. He was a leader, a dedicated safety advocate and profoundly decent man. My thoughts are with his family and everyone whose life he touched. cbc.ca/news/politics/…

@MarkJCarney Don’t let @WestJet abuse the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. We must all work together to ensure @ALPACanada is part of the solution to help @WestJet Encore fix their pilot attraction & retention problems. bit.ly/4iXDu6K #cdnpoli

@MarkJCarney @WestJet management is working to undermine collective bargaining rights and labour standards. Do not let them deflect from their operational issues by abusing the Temporary Foreign Worker Program! bit.ly/4iXDu6K #cdnpoli

Trump tariffs, above all, hurt workers. Sadly this is the case on both sides of our boarder, but while this point goes unheeded by the US administration as March 4th comes and goes, for our part we must now embrace each other, as pilots, as workers, as Canadians. Now and forever.

Not sure who needs to hear this but @alpacanada pilots are trained and qualified professionals, not DEI hires. Tragic accidents and incidents must be investigated by the trained professionals whose job is to do just that so we can learn and make aviation safer. Period.

Meanwhile in 🇨🇦 where it’s -20 CELSIUS on #louisriel long weekend, out for a skate on the frozen Red River after taking in French Canadian folk music at La Festival du Voyageur with family and soon going out for local dining at #rawalmond. Yes, I am Canadian, proudly and forever.

Honour to meet Nunavut Premier @AkeeagokPj1828 today in DC discussing Labour and Canada/US trade with @CanadianLabour & @AFLCIO. I lived in Nunavut as a child and as a professional pilot. We agree that while challenges exist, huge opportunities are before us. @ALPACanada.

Proud to represent @ALPACanada pilots at the Prime Minsiter’s Council on US-Canada trade. Facing US tariff threats falls upon all of us but with business, labour, and gov collaboration, we will ensure a prosperous future. Transportations jobs are essential to our prosperity.

Today, along with @tim_f_perry, @CATCA5454 released a White Paper with the goal of rebuilding Canada's aviation sector. It's time to put safety and service back in focus, and put workers and passengers first. Read our Paper here: alpa.org/canadianaviati…

Today, with Nick von Schoenberg @catcapres from @CATCA5454, @ALPACanada released a White Paper with recommendations to bring our air sector's focus back to safety and service. It's time to put people first; aviation workers and those who rely on the system alpa.org/canadianaviati…

Always good to visit my @Transport_gc colleagues @icao. Discussing safety, social sustainability and the future of the aviation industry in Canada. @IFALPA @ALPACanada @ALPAPilots #safetystartswith2

It does’t take much to show support for workers standing for fair wages, safe working conditions and dignified retirement. No matter your walk of life, we must all stand for these things and our county must stand for them too. Workers stand with workers #supportCUPW @ALPACanada

Staffing Shortages Hit Hard as Holiday Travel Rush Ramps Up As Canadian air traffic controllers, we’re no strangers to the challenges of this season. Like our colleagues in Newark, we’re navigating the perfect storm of high travel demand, staffing shortages, and mandatory overtime. Controllers are maxed out and the success of our own holiday travel season relies almost entirely on the efforts and goodwill of our controllers to go above and beyond. It’s a very fine balance. Read more in link in bio. cbsnews.com/newyork/news/n… ________ La pénurie de personnel frappe de plein fouet l'affluence des voyageurs pendant les fêtes de fin d'année En tant que contrôleurs aériens canadiens, nous ne sommes pas étrangers aux défis de cette saison. À l'instar de nos collègues de Newark, nous sommes confrontés à la tempête parfaite de la forte demande de voyages, des pénuries de personnel et des heures supplémentaires obligatoires. Les contrôleurs sont au maximum de leurs capacités et le succès de notre propre saison de vacances dépend presque entièrement des efforts et de la bonne volonté de nos contrôleurs à se surpasser.  L'équilibre est très fragile.
