Re: Porter vs AC

Lmfao it seems as though the people saying porter has terrible loads are always people not at porter. I’m looking at the loads over the next couple days right now out of and into YYZ and they’re fine. I suppose AC does have the financial advantage of using our tax dollars for a bailout when they me...

Re: Porter vs AC

With less than optimal load factors porter is not making enough money to keep the first fins past heavy check. Their aircraft orders are to ensure a revolving door of new fins to replace the older ones. Having AC buy them has been Deluce’s game plan since their inception. Won’t happen. As for the e...

Re: Grievance update for the 285ish former Jazz pilots affected by Flow

You know what wasn’t honoured either? Jazz’s agreement with AC to have a certain number of pilots. Their hiring and recruiting has been a bust and they have failed in keeping their roster numbers up. AC got ticked off and looked for another regional. Jazz pilot numbers are abysmal and AC has had to ...

Almost happened 16 years ago. Global solutions. Agreement in place but a few greedy jazz ALPA pricks f’d the whole thing. Pretty sure some are on here. Thanks to those ALPA guys the ship has sailed.

Re: Sky Regional?

That’s a good thing for Porter Pilots, Sky was always known for treating their pilots well 😬😬😬 Well, it's the former pilots who have joined Porter management, not the former managers. Small exception - S.R - but he's a pilot's Chief as far as I can tell. BS. I would be careful if I were you. He has...

Follow Charlene's lead. You can start by wearing your ALPA lanyard the moment you get it, if she says to.
The thing is, it’s not allowed in the FOM. She will have to get that changed if ALPA wants us to wear it. We can take off the company lanyard as an option.

You need to look at this CA in it's entirety and you're only looking at pay rates. This is how our TAs were sold to us by ACPA. Sitting from the cheap seats it looks like the same game plan is in play here, that is, get some stuff to pass this 50%+1. I now know what a North American contract looks ...

Re: YVR 220 base

As for the sims, YYZ is tapped out due to the short sightedness of the previous VP of Flight Ops. YVR is the only logical place to expand. This has been approved.

Re: YVR 220 base

The A220 YVR base was supposed to be on the last bid but was cancelled last minute. With 60 fins and possibly 75, you can expect the base to open soon enough. We have that many? I thought we only had 30? Current a220 fleet size is 33 I believe. Many orders to come. So yes, YVR gonna happen…. Eventu...

YWG and CPDLC

Question for the YWG Centre Controllers. I’ve noticed whenever I log on to CPDLC that YWG Controllers seem to prefer voice. Is it policy not to use text and use voice instead? It’s very noticeable as you fly across our country. Not criticizing, just questioning.

Is there any language at all to stop them from reducing other WB positions when adding these freighter positions? That seems critical to me.
