The percentage increases are for salary at 77.5 mmg, not per hour increases.

That is false. All changes must be approved by the foag committee. Read the entire package before making false claims.

Common employer status.

So what’s longer? A Nautical Mile or a Statute Mile?

I think it depends on if the earth is flat or not…

A union is only as strong as its MEC. I for one am glad that ALPA showed its true colors once again. At the end of the day, ALPA is a business and it loves to take pilot’s dues and give little in return.

An absolutely piss poor display of collective bargaining.

I agree that most E2 pilots are awesome colleagues. However, the few bad apples have a big effect on how the larger group is perceived by some.

I’m glad you all are here and helping this company grow so we can all hang our hats here as long as possible.

Very few do. But I seem to remember an attempt to split the seniority list in the early days of the E2 operation.

And “Dash Trash” has been openly used in a training environment which is even more despicable.

I think the important thing to note here is that the majority of the commenters have been on property at Porter for a max of 2 years. For whatever reasons they moved to porter, it is a likely guarantee that they were chasing money. One thing you will not find on this thread are Porter pilots that ha...

I mean I definitely see a bump coming once the AC contract is done but I don't expect it to be anywhere near that amount. I certainly wouldn't complain though. Hearing it from FOs on the line, I think they are more connected to the rail than I. I wouldn't believe them if the number I was hearing wa...

Day 1 at least 4 credits
Day 2 standover 4 credits
Day 3 at least 4 credits

Yup. Bring the wife and kids even. Not the fanciest of destinations but there’s things to do. Paid vacay. Oh my god, how much koolaid have you drank! That’s a day and a half at work for 4 credits, I also can assume you’re available for reassignment if they need you, how’s your family going to feel ...

Just a thought. Is this crazy? New FOs, hired for E2 today for example, will have a worse seniority number than every Q pilot. By the time that new FO is ready to upgrade, presumably there will be a Q->E2 transfer program in place. Will that new FO have to wait for every Q pilot (who's interested) ...

I’m in a similar position as well, if I want AC I’ll have 2000TT by early next year, currently on the E2. A large part of my decision is going to come from the new contract AC gets and if Porter can compensate me enough to convince me that the QOL my seniority here affords me is worth giving up mor...

Those bus drivers will make more than a good deal of pilots at air canada under the current wage structure.

Accruing YOS means Jack shit. Point is you are not getting paid what you are rightfully entitled to. They are getting paid E2 rates in the d-tip: 1. From October 2023 until Dec 2024 Porter Airlines will guarantee 3 cumulative Transition positions per class for DHC8-400 Captains to Transition to the...

Currently as it stands-flow limited to 3 a month cumulative from Q to E2 for both CAs and now FOs. Earlier in the year a number of junior FOs were able to transfer as they lifted fleet lock. Some Q CAs have bid over as FOs and have been restricted from flowing over as this is now counted under the ...

Dash FO to Dash Captain is YOS -3

So a year 5 FO would be year 2 captain.

Take the time to read though Westjet, Air Canada, transat, Jazz, flair etc… contracts. You’ll find that we are at industry standard. Interesting, I've seen some analysis that shows how much our work rules (outside of pay) lag compared to others. If this is the case it sure would be nice of our pilo...

I think I’d be more embarrassed if I were you, you were literally not good enough until they had no other good options. You think HR feels shame they had to call you back, that’s pretty funny. They were just filling in a gap and you were close enough but still a last option but you keep bragging if...

The makeup of an "effective training" pairing can continue to be debated but it certainly isn't trainers cherry pick what they want and flight ops management/crew planning goes "There you go. That's the training bid package. Chock full of effective training!" BC is making this seem like a 2 option ...

E2 should have gotten the “new” call sign. No jets if it weren’t for the heavy lifting of the Dash.

He’s referring to the absolute catastrophe of Dashport being the call sign.

It’s a fucking joke and embarrassing.

You are out to lunch. Groups of employees at Porter have been represented by unions for a long time now.
