We've all been there. Just know that Encore, as it is, is nothing but a stepping stone to AC or PD (or TS if you like risk). I know, everything other than AC PD is pretty much a stepping stone at this point. Why is TS risky? [/quote] Always in the red. Stock doing poorly but it’s probably always go...

Yes. 6.8% is what we’re being told.

I used to see “training pay” years ago where it was either a reduced or flat rate till you started “working” but not likely at this level even then. Worst I’ve seen recently is Pascan offering DEC’s only FO pay till after their first Line check.

I was 1900-2000hr but with jet time already. Some

Slower schedule a bit, but less movement in your seniority probably. Not a bad choice. Also means you’d get accommodation and travel to toronto for GS and sim unlike if you are ytz based

Its free on my own airline?

Except a 3rd year southwest FO makes more than a top tier Porter Captain after conversion.

Phoenix for SWA or AA

Percentage I have no Idea. Matrix is the following though

Unlikely to see DEC in the near future. Delivery delays are true, but also transfer from Q to E2 and just plain upgrades from FO are now in full swing.

I was October class. We all just finished line indoc in January and ever person who wanted a base transfer has their desired base at this point

How is it a degradation of the reserve rules? Did you read the package or attend a townhall. Only top 30% of reserve list gets locked A or B, 72 hours out the rest get what ever is assigned. Hard to plan a life and thats literally the beginning. The “Commuter Hotels” is a carrot, means nothing as y...

Cargojet. 15 days a month total. Maybe 7-8 operating flights. 2-3 day layovers. 20-30 hrs a month flying if you don’t grab OT. wrong side of the clock when you do though! Only sometimes. There are a few all nights like the yhm-yvr turn the cvg-gdl turn and the mia- bog turn. Most of the time its on...

How is it a degradation of the reserve rules?

so the question is would have ALPA come up with a better contract (better pay for FOs, and better QOL)? Pay? I doubt honestly. Not on the FO side. Maybe captains could have matched AC. QOL maybe? Better retirement? Some more scheduling stuff? Possibly. As for ALPA protections etc i’ve seen them fir...

I’m an E2 FO and never expected a huge pay increase. AC only came up to match out first few years basically so where was the payscale supposed to go? I was hoping for more QOL stuff and have a suspicion that this was all delayed cause they gutted version 2 before release because version 2 has nothin...

Can also say I wasn't asked at any point

Trying to steer us back on topic, i know people bring up “protections” of a CBA, but we constantly see cba’s violated and all the unions can do is grieve it in a process that can take years. I’ve seen it personally at Cargojet. Management makes a new memo with a change of “Policy” circumventing the ...

Lynx and flair pulling out must have sucked?

Very much so. Looking forward to Porter starting daily flights in October

Metro FO. Easy.

I use a relatively slim but expandable laptop bag from amazon. I think it was $40 That's what I use too. It's not as cool as a big box covered with stickers though. 8) Man I remember my grandfathers leather lawyers case he used for his jepp charts etc. however I ironed on a nice Anime style head of...
