Re: Shutting down most of the airline
"There were only a handful of pilots who decided to go to Australia for less pay than they would get in Canada." Well now that seems unlikely. Explain where you got that gem of misinformation from. More pilots than were required actually bid on the deployment. I'm told it's a pretty senior bunch. Wi...

Re: FLAIR NOT PAYING PILOTS FOR WORK
The CFO's resignation IS likely a red flag. Porter lost a major lawsuit earlier this year and is on the hook to pay JP Morgan about $130 million. Porter has also been doing sale/leasebacks on their Q400s to raise cash. The fact that Porter hired Seabury out of NYC as a placement agent for E190 sale/...

Re: Flair Cadet Program Assessments
Why wouldn’t Flair be here in a year? Oh, I don't know. For starters the CEO went on a press tour telling everyone "we are heading for a financial reconning or what ever" We’ve been here for 18 years already now As a charter company not competing with the big boys. We just took 2 new aircraft this ...

Re: Kodiak Quest down Van Isle June 21/23
Are there any Kodiak pilots on here? I'm hearing it might be a fuel thing...as in not enough.

According to the Canadian Civil Aircraft Register, the plane’s registered owner is Cameron Robinson of Sherwood Park, Alberta.

IFALPA ban....oooh, that'll make em sit up and lie awake at night hey? :rolleyes: There's no doubt that some "housecleaning" took place and a few were sent packing. However the majority were sent home due to a downsizing, or Covid or base closures and age limits in foreign countries. Out of work and...

Re: New Flair Staff Travel
These pilots came from their oversees jobs making what they did and were willing to accept shit pay to start up an airline when the whole industry put a ban on accepting those positions. They then manipulated and negotiated their crap contract just recently when they had the opportunity to do so muc...

It's actually quite entertaining watching the naysayers struggle with their hopes that Flair fails. But hey, why let the truth cloud a good story?

Re: So much for growth
SPR, What part of any of the reasons already given to you don't you understand? There has been no fleet reduction and Flair continues to acquire tails as advertised. Indeed, as already explained by tbaylx, three more tails are "on the property", and Flair continues to hire for the next year. Just be...

Re: So much for growth
Ok, so I'm hoping that I'm not being accused of "ad hominem" attacks by the OP, but I still don't' see any proof of defaults or anything that (even remotely) proves anything really. You'll have to try harder to spread the dirty laundry. Did anyone see that Flair is helping the Ukrainian refugees wit...

Re: New Flair Tentative Agreement
So you posted a powerpoint presentation and call that the full TA? I'll give you credit for doing the work, but what's missing is almost all the rest. It's a "sound byte" and only tells a small part of the story. Flair pilots won't be asked to vote on a Powerpoint presentation, no airline union woul...
