There are most definitely more unionised pilots than non-unionised in this country. Particularly at Airlines.

Are there any large operators without unionised pilots driving? Porter? How are they faring?

Aren't the Porter pilots sitting at home making CEWS while most other regional pilots go to work for what's similar to CEWS pay?

We're all suffering in this crap, some a little worse than others. Porter has always been a little different, not better or worse, just different. This situation is the same. Porter pilots are suffering just like the rest, it just in a different fashion.

Pasco is not unionized and the initial layoff was a bit of a clusterfvck with the layoffs going by base/position and not seniority. Company never really took up the offer of CEWS from the government, so everyone went on CERB...

That's disappointing to hear.

What % of the schedule/fleet is Pasco flying? Good luck to those guys.
