Re: Will Encore close doors - pilots demanding too much?
The fuel going into the plane in a day costs more than those pilots make in a month. 5hrs of flying is ~12 grand in fuel?

Re: Porter vs AC
I dunno if it's entitlement, or just a youngin with career options many of us couldn't even dream of 10 years ago.
Wasn't all that long ago AC needed 705 command time and 5000 hrs to be competitive in the hiring process.

Re: Are Encore pilots aware they are accepting 705 wages below PC-12 & King Air captain rates?
Encore's pay went from, by far the worst Q400 pay in north america to tied for the worst Q400 pay in north america. Porter's base pay was good 8 months ago, but has since fallen to the bottom. That's what Encore chose to copy? :roll: I'm sad to let you know that Porter has the highest Q400 pay that...

Re: 1900D to mainline or regionals?
All good advice. As someone who has thousands of hours on a 1900, it is a great plane and will provide you some invaluable PIC time eventually. However, you have clearly said your goal is to be at an airline. Seniority is EVERYTHING. Take the jobs that will get you to WJ/AC/Porter the fastest and f...

Re: Porter vs AC
Weekends don't matter very much until one has school age kids. Kids get weekends off, and if the pilot parent wants to spend time with their offspring, they'll want weekends off too.

Re: Porter vs AC
Will you need to commute for AC, but living at your base for Porter?
Commuting sucks. Even more when junior.

Re: Rise Air 705
I'm not sure why pilot utilization is lower today. It's a general industry trend across all 704/705 lite. 1000hrs a year is the current limit, but that's still only 5.5hrs a day working 15 days/month. Not a whole ton of flying. Is it a lack of support and pilots are wasting duty time on tertiary du...

Re: Updated salary tables 2024
Should keep the Swoop table on as a reminder for future reference that someone whored their selves out for less than 100k/yr to fly a 737. Agreed, It's perfect for the next low cost carrier to reference so they know just how little pilots will actually work for and to remind the current ones how fa...

Re: Why everyone runs to AC?
"smooth"'s post isn't wrong in the context of the turd that is Canadian aviation. AC is generally considered to be the shiniest of the turds.
On a scale of 1 to 10, it's a pool of 1s, 2s and 3s, but AC is a 4. Still bad, but among the best of the worst.

Re: Agreement in principle reached.
That's one of my biggest pet peeves. Jazz couldn't get a bigger FO raise, because then AC would be paying FOs less than Jazz. Sounds to me like a great reason to pay everyone more. If the Q400/regional pilots are making good money, that encourages the 737/NB/mainline to ensure adequate pay bump. My...

I was hoping for better than this. It's great that the contract has seen language improvements and other gains, but the pay seems like a missed opportunity in the current environment.

Re: Agreement in principle reached.
I think this will pass. Most pilots, current and future, aren't looking to make a career out of Encore. For that reason I think they will take the pay raise now and leave as soon as they're able. Like they were planning to begin with. How long until every Encore pilot flows to mainline? Granted ton...

Looks like Porter Q400 captains are due for another benchmark. How is that non-union flexibility working out?
