One week to go!!!

[edsotherhalf 1]

By this time next week I will be home again from having the medical. I am stressing a little over this damn Air Canada strike. It doesn't bother me when you aren't flying but it certainly does now. I leave at 1:30 a.m. next Weds and have my medical appointment at 9:30. I have had to have someone cover my shift at work, as I was going to leave work at 11 p.m. and go right to the airport but now they are saying get there plenty early in case of delays and such. Then again on the 28th I fly to Montreal to pick up results of medical and stay the night, then have interview at 8 a.m. on the 29th and fly home that afternoon. I am hoping that the picket lines will allow the pilots and such to get through. I guess they already had a day in Montreal where no one crossed the picket line. I have to be able to get home to work. At least my days off are Thurs and Friday so I have a couple of days leaway if I have to. Anyone else have their interview on June 29th or am i the only one?????

I flew through Pearson for my POE yesterday and took a connecting flight to the US also on Air Canada. The strike was ongoing and I didn't notice anything different than usual.

Good luck with your interview!

My boss flew from Montreal last night, airport was empy which was nice, but one passenger didn't make the flight so they had to return to the tarmack, unload the luggage to get the one suitcase off (this error they explained was due to inexperienced handlers) (so they got free drinks the whole flight!) and then when he got to Calgary they sat on the tarmack for 45 minutes b/c of the rain, the handlers didn't want to get wet. (Manager's I am presuming) Anyway, I think the strike will be over by the time you fly, the government is ordering them back. Good Luck!

YaYYYYYYY!!! That is great news. One less stressor down. Now on to passing the medical which may not be an easy feat with my medical background but will do my best. Thanks all for the well wishes.

Keep positive thoughts about your medical, bring any necessary documentation to support you, I am getting my family doctor and opthamologist to write a short medical history.

Glad that the Air Canada is over for you to freely get to your appointments!!!!
