Re: YHZ and YQT
Yes. Confirmed. They will be closed as of May 7, 2026. Will this affect their future hiring for the rest of 2026? Are they still going to go ahead with their march ground schools? Do you really want to work somewhere that's under such dire financial strain? Let's think about this. YQT and YHZ are b...

Re: E2 Loads
FO here — anyone else a bit concerned about the passenger loads on the E2? YYZ–LGA has been pretty weak. LGA started up right as the tariff stuff started lol considering we are way over exposed to the states compared to AC and WJ I’m sure the timing of that trump stuff caused a pretty big hit for t...

Re: 2025 Pilot Recruitment
More important than wages for AT is going to be scope. Porter shouldn’t be allowed to operate anything for AT North south. That flying is AT flying and needs to stay that way, the only thing porter (or anyone else) can / should be allowed is connecting people from other domestic city pairs to AT. W...

Re: Rise air Ramp to fly
Hi everyone, I’m currently finishing up my Multi-IFR and looking into career paths. I’m considering applying for a Ground Services Attendant role with Snowbird Aviation (Rise Air’s ground handling company) based in Saskatoon.

Re: Which European airline would you join if Canada joins the European Union?
I'd work for KLM Cityhopper (Is that "KLM", or a partner of KLM?). They fly great planes and go to interesting places. I just flew with them two weeks ago, on the E190... and I wouldn't have to work too hard to get a new type rating. Having to go into LCY in the E2 would be a little spicy, think it...

Trudeau’s Canada? He needs 10 bodyguards just to cross the road… I could go on with a grocery list of other things, but that right there should be more then enough evidence of how fractured he’s made our country. In the same way if you’re an American who voted for trump, f*ck you if you voted for T...

Re: WJ vs AC FO pay
WestJet has the longest narrowbody upgrades in the world. That puts a lot of people off. If you’re in Vancouver you’ll be waiting 15-20 years for a left seat with current projections. While I don’t disagree with the data used to make that projection, it’s such a long timeline that with the volatili...

I also don't see why not this: 1900 FO 1900 CA (possibly optional*) E2 FO E2 CA Another route for sure; but be aware the candidate would sit a number of years as a jet FO (3-5 years based on TT joining Porter) in order to meet the upgrade matrix currently in place.

Re: It’s Time - Back on track
Clearly, our FOAG or what ever the new name it will be called is looking out for the company and based on the abysmal benchmark looking out for themselves. None of the options given to rename the FOAG document (Flight Ops Admin Guide) and committee (Flight Ops Admin Group) stand out for me. They ne...

Plus several dozen geriatrics are staying on past retirement which doesn’t help with hiring. Those are our colleagues and fellow pilots - if you can't keep the conversation civil without attacking fellow pilots, do us a favour and just keep it to yourself! WestJet controls the operation of that pro...

Re: FOAG 2025
I can appreciate E2 FOs being disappointed. I think more of them planned on trying to make a career at porter than most people give them credit for. But considering how comparable this pay scale looks like vs the 220 at AC, where they'd get seniority quickly as the 220 pilots start upgrading onto a...

Re: So how actually is at the other side of the fence?
