Management is fond of reminding Encore that it is a completely separate company from WestJet. WestJet's TA will have nothing to do with Encore, other than sweeten the pot and make it more desirable to flow up as soon as possible (no sign of moving off of the 25% flow). WJE has long since been forgo...

Omni 767 last year for the YYT/YHZ cleanup.

Best - TTPP, Worst - CYXS

I would expect that there will be more multi day pairings in YYZ as compared to the current pairing breakdown in the port, considering YYZ will most likely be covering some/more/most of the east coast overnights. As for 5 dayers, I anticipate that they will all but disappear.

No one from YHZ is home to reply, they are all on the road working, commuting or at their crashpads in YYC! Commuting from the east coast is problematic at best. Flights are quite full, there are lots of commuters, weather frequently causes cancellations (resulting in backlogs that I've seen last da...

.

I've seen them land on 31 in CYYJ (5001') and 28 in CYYG (5000').

Not at this time. There is only one pilot currently on the port petition for YUL.

Hi Merlin, There are 3 pilots in the YQM area that I know of, I'm not one of them (YYT), but I will try to answer your questions. The three pilots that are out of the YQM area all are in the YYZ port, however they are all captains. This makes a big difference in your sked, as a captain you normally ...

JD,

That's so he and TM can discuss the soon to arrive 767-300ERs for his Asia ops...

Should be an interesting 2011

First of all, welcome aboard. I would sign up for YYZ. Signing up for YOW will lead to you commuting to 2 places, YOW and YYC. If you sign up for YYZ and give port attributes high priority in your bid, you will have success with your schedule. There are a few F/Os that have the bidding for YYZ pairi...

Congrats on the new position DaveP. I trust you will still be involved in the PST.

Did you get a corner office?

I see LGA, ATL, MSP and SLC in the near future for WS...should be interesting!

I can't say for sure, but I have noticed a number of new dispatchers on the flight releases.

These dispatchers could be in-house trained and hired though.

BK, For a Hamilton area flight crew how well does the port system out of yyz work? Not bad, we do have porters who live in the YHM area and it seems to work for them. Be warned, there are a lot of one and two day pairings that will require a considerable amount of time on the QEW. How many parings a...

Does anyone have his contact info for commuter accoms at 301 Dixon?

Reply here, thanks

SMP

Where ya goin? Take the trains if it is anywhere within 100 miles.

I heard it was primarily a three fold reason: 1) A new livery (aircraft colors) to be unveiled in October with the next delivery 2) A retrofit of aft galley to include two ovens 3) Pulling out the first four rows of seats and replacing them with three rows of 2 by 2 seating All in preparation for a...

Joe to go,

I'd say that this is to fund booze for your 5some at the golf tourney...when Durf saw who you guys had rounded up he must had shuddered.

Have fun,

PS I say it is the C series from Bombardier

The problem with JETZ was a Canadian airline operating on USA point to point flights. The Jays are all transborder flights, unless the Expos are making a comeback...

Will be an improvement, however, a Cat II on 11 or 16 would be much more beneficial. I have never missed in YYT when the ability to use 600 RVR on 29 would make a difference. 100 RA on 11 or 16 could have made things much easier a few times. ILS on 34 wouldn't hurt either, but our RNP gets us almost...

I am amazed that there haven't been any new CADORS in the last 5 days. However, I'm sure SLU has ran out of PITON!!

Peace Out 2w's and pditty!!

We did end up with a CADOR from our pairing! Piton and Mount Gay are in short supply after our little time on island time.

Take care,

Rumor. I have heard this from quite a few people lately. Even Jaques Kafavian. Apparently Georgian will do all the domestic flying and get the Emb and Airbus and Jazz gets all the overseas flying. WJ is getting A380s and will start nonstop service YKL-NRT and BJG. All mainline AC pilots will be giv...
