Re: Anyone else seated in the hiring pool, chilling?😛

It was also because we took massive delays trying to groom a 132 seat aircraft. I think the going thought was finish the setup, once that's complete, assist. Setup starting taking longer and longer. Then cabin crew got pretty hot and bothered. Is it written somewhere that on the Dash side, the flig...

Re: E2 Loads

Rouge and AC are different AOCs, they have displacement rights back and forth. I'm not buying that argument. That's a negotiated agreement. Porter does not have a negotiated contract, and even if it did, recent events show that they would ignore it if it didn't suit them. Umm, dude Rouge and AC are...

Re: E2 Loads

FO here — anyone else a bit concerned about the passenger loads on the E2? YYZ–LGA has been pretty weak. Whenever I operate the loads are fine. Yes LGA, YOW, and YUL are lower and always have been but the flights west and south are 90% packed. As mentioned we are in the post holiday travel now whic...

Confirmed, as of now classes delayed until March. Embraer cannot get engines, and wings now due to procurement from third party vendors.

The TA

Since the other thread went down a black hole of absolute useless crap, what’s coming out from the MEC?

Re: Commuting from YYC to YYZ

Many pilots who are not YYC or YHZ commuters end up with these pairings. When they were agreeing to the process and it was designed and agreed upon with the FOAG it was a hastly put together agreement where the company was told by many pilots issues would arrive. Sure enough many pilots (myself incl...

Re: Commuting from YYC to YYZ

The Satellite pairings are a flop. I’m not a YYC commuter and have a YYC satellite pairing at the end of the month (guess who’s not doing that). Many YYZ non-commuters have been awarded these pairings which are creating chaos. Until a proper process is established for this I wouldn’t count on it. A...
