PAL commute policy

Post by BlackHawkOne »

Does PAL have a commute policy ? For someone from western Quebec, or Montreal to the Maritimes ?

They have a Montreal base which historically has been very difficult to staff (especially for captains). Why don’t you go for that instead of commuting?

Certainly sounds more appealing than bottom of list YUL base at jazz.

They also do rotations in some circumstances as well, for Captains at least. Not sure the stipulations on that.

PAL will have a very difficult time getting pilots unless they improve their pay and I will not hold my breath for that to happen.

PAL will train pilots on the Q400 and then they will leave for Porter.

Welcome to the big leagues.

Welcome to the big leagues.
Especially when Halifax is announced. Just like jazz trained on the E1 for Porter’s E2
