Not trying to start anything, I’m just curious why you say the DEC ship is gone, aren’t you still expecting 60 more fins? Are you saying you basically have enough FOs who can upgrade, combined with Q pilots who move over, to fill the left seat while they backfill FO spots? As mentioned above, we ca...

Can any Flair team members advise when their next payroll is. This Thursday or next Monday?

It's official. 3 new Porter E2 bases in 2024. YOW, YUL, YVR!

New Porter E2 crew bases in YOW, YUL and YVR all coming in 2024

Hot off the press "We are confirming an important development in our growth with the opening of three new E195-E2 Pilot and Cabin Crew bases; Ottawa (YOW) effective June 2024, Montreal (YUL) effective July 2024, and Vancouver (YVR) effective October 2024."

If you can’t make it in YOW maybe it’s time to shut it all down. This is old news. Did you have to wait for a buddy of a buddy of yours to send you this so you can post it online to stir up shit? It not old news to me, first I’m hearing of this and it doesn’t look good to be pulling back when you’r...

Looking for perspective from fellow Porter pilots. In the most recent pilot call KW announced the 50th E2 should be arriving Oct or Nov 2024. The current/most recent transfer agreement for Dash Captains to transfer to the E2 is "3 cumulative Captain transition positions will be guaranteed per class...

One more thing to note is that although Jazz exceeds Porter Q Captain pay at Year 5, anyone joining Porter today will be eligible to transfer as DEC to the Embraer E2 after 1000 pic on the Dash. So bare in mind that almost no one on the Q now will be there after 5+ years as Captain. By then they wi...

With a recession looming on the horizon, best guess to what may happen to Porter's expansion ? I’ve wondered the same, specifically since there is no proper union or CBA what stops the group that talks to the company from taking wage concessions? What stops wage reductions is the Canada Labour Code...

Porter already has a YHZ D8 base.

From Porter COO. "To all Porter Pilots: This week, Michael Deluce and the Pilot FOAG Committee jointly announced several improvements to the Porter Pilot salary package for both the Embraer E195 and with special emphasis on the Dash 8 fleet. This new salary offering from Porter positions the company...

I just heard that any D8 DEC type rated pilots that join a class prior to October 31st 2023 will also receive a $25k one time hiring bonus. This is on top of YOS recognition for time on Type and industry leading pay scales.

Big news from Porter.

Why is everyone assuming that AC won't be effected by this?? Y5 captain on the E2 makes more than an AC captain. At AC it takes you much much longer to be sitting on the left seat, and even once you get there a porter captain will be set to make more than you in a few years. And much more than you ...

In descending order of the carriers that this announcement looks the worst for: 1. Jazz 2. Encore 3. Any other Q400 operator 4. Any ULCC 5. Cargo operators 6. Transat 7. WJ 8. AC Some pilots from the aforementioned carriers will move unless their local WAWCON matches or exceeds POE. Some pilots app...

I understand from friends at Porter that it was also announced that DECs on the D8 will receive a one time bonus for joining. That's in addition to much higher pay scales that have leap frogged the competition, YOS recognition for time on D8 type, and the fasted path by far to a narrowbody left seat...

I wonder how jazz E1 pilots feel about this? Same type rating, almost same plane but E2 1st year at porter $76,500 vs E1 1st year at jazz $39,000. That is almost double :shock: And porter's health benefit/long and short term are way cheaper, $100 per month if I remember correctly. E2 pay scale effe...

And with 1200 pilots being hired in 4 years....those that move from Jazz or Encore to Porter today will not only have their current D8 service time honored and see a massive pay increase, but they will also quickly move up to a high level of seniority. With Porter honoring time on type the shackles ...

What about the fine print where it says payscale valid until december 2024.. what happens after ? Is it just a temporary means to attract, and then back to lower wages ? Jan 2025 is just when the next CPI adjustment happens. There is no possibility to lower scales, that is protected by the Canadian...

Also, people are forgetting how porter has made money in the past. Asset transactions. I got complete faith in deluce. I’ll happily fly empty airplanes cuz I know they got a plan. You'll happily fly the airplanes to bankruptcy lol. Just like they did with canada 3000 Fullflaps you should get your f...

They are now trying the design planes that have no middle seat. Porter already has those with the E2, with a unit cost very close the the much larger Max 8. No new design required!

Porter isn't infallible, but loads on my flights have been excellent - near full mist days - with a number of them at capacity. Lots of content people. Yes there are the odd cancelations due to staffing, but that is being addressed as quickly as our management team can put together legal solutions ...

What part is higher than WJ? Porter's entire scale for FOs and Captains has a higher hourly rate than WJ (each level) plus an 80 hr mmg vs 77.5 mmg at WJ. Higher hourly. Higher annual pay. What part of Porter's new scale isn't higher than WJs for 737. The 20% Retirement match at Westjet is a pretty...
