Re: YUL Base on E2 for DEC

Makes sense.

Is there anyone form Porter here that can provide a better estimate of reserve times?

Re: YUL Base on E2 for DEC

Thanks @flyinhigh
Yes, i plan to apply for the RJP/Commuting program at the earliest.

Is there a reserve period once i am released? Will i be able to use the RJP/Commuting program during the reserve period?

YUL Base on E2 for DEC

Hello everyone,

I am considering the DEC E2 position. The posting is only for YYZ, but how long does it take before one gets YUL base?
Also, is it possible to start commuting day1 after release? Or is there a reserve period during which i will be forced to be in YYZ?

Thanks.

Re: Pilots need to learn how to file CADORS

Hi, Can i, as a pilot, file a CADORs? This is about incorrect taxiway signage that has already been reported to ATC, but no action yet.

Wonder where i can report a CADORs. All the links on the thread lead elsewhere. Maybe 15-yr old links are too old :D.

Thanks.

Re: Meniscus Tear

I had a torn ACL for 8 years before I had surgery. I've never had an issue at my yearly medical. Even at the AC medical, it was a non event. I ran a couple half marathons with it torn. I've had surgery and it's now worse. Go figure. Oh. Thats sad. Just curious. Why did you undergo surgery? Did you ...

Re: Documents required for Air Canada interview

Apparently, Air Canada also requires you to print your Transport Canada file that shows history of all your PPC's (passed or failed), and written exams grades (ppl,cpl,atpl etc). Interesting... So if you failed a ride or a written exam, you can't get in AC anymore? No, you still can. You just will ...

Re: Documents required for Air Canada interview

Just an update:

Went through the interview without the visa, and was able to check with the Pilot Recruitment Manager. I will need to produce the C1/D before i start flying with AC. So i guess i will have about 2months after the job offer.

Re: C1/D requirement for PRs

Thanks for sharing your experiences guys. 1) You will need a letter from the employer for the visa, to show the need for the visa. 2) As far as I know, the US Department if State -> through their Consulate General won’t let you get a visa in a country where you don’t reside. They might ask you to ge...
