Wouldn't a merger and/or expanded agreement with Air Transat seem much more likely? Why do they need to own the aircraft themselves? Porter is definitely going places, as they seem to be the only company owned by people who care for its success. You mean like all the people they terminated after Co...

What’s with all the brand new aircraft sitting in long term storage in YOW, some have been there for almost 8 months now.

New ground handlers in YOW with the same result.But hey they work cheap.This is what happens when you hire all the same folks from the the company that lost the the contract.

Maintair in YOW strikes again.You can't make this up good thing they lost the Porter contract before there is a serious accident.Maintair has been told to leave the airport and operating license has been removed.This will be the second ground handling company to be banned from YOW this year.

It was a sunwing B737 being serviced by Maintair.

Who were the ground handlers for Porter in YOW? MaintAir out of YQT.They took over after Porter terminated all its own ground staff after the pandemic.Its been a shit show ever since.Constant staff turn around,they would hire 20 plus people every Monday and would have one guy left by the end of the...

Rumour out of YOW is your ground handling company has been kicked out of the airport for all the damage they have done to the airport facilities,and to the Porter aircraft,Swissport will be taking over and now Porter will actually have to pay a legitimate company to perform the services.This will be...

Buddy from MaintAir drove the belt loader into the aircraft again.

That's going to be expensive to fix.

If you can’t make it in YOW maybe it’s time to shut it all down.

I will be sure to not go above and beyond making sure checked bags travel with the B1 cons.

Been told from the fueling company in YOW that it’s now cash on the dash or no fuel and that 3 other fueling companies are demanding payment before being fueled.

Westjet terminated its above the wing staff in YOW at least 2 years ago and contracted out the work to the lowest bidder.

Westjet terminated their ground staff in YYC and contracted out their jobs to the lowest bidder who pays minimum wages with no benefits.The new company is called ATS and they are having major issues hiring and retaining current staff,They payed out over $100,000 in cash to retain the few employees t...

Good luck to all, hope for a quick return.

I was told Air Canada has already shown interest in purchasing the 787 aircraft.

That's a silly post. Doubtful that you're a working pilot, "TSC". :rolleyes: Every employee of a company generally gets a discount on the product they make/sell from their employer. Eg: work at Home Depot and get stuff at cost. It's a benefit that an employer can give at a fraction of the equivalen...

Air Transit use to use Servisair(swissport) for their ground handling needs but a few years ago the decided they could save money by giving the contract to ASIG now know as Menzies that lasted one winter as ASIG lost the contract due to poor service such as no staff showing up to work on weekends,th...

Please DO NOT ask for the jump seat to Orlando, or Miami etc. As an idependant and wholly owned non Air Canada feeder, you have an excellent agree...

Just a heads up but looks like your going to be traveling as a C-3 instead of C-2 when traveling on mainline flights starting January 1st 2011.I guess now you can really tell people you work for Jazz and not Air Canada.

Maybe learn to spell the word chief and then maybe.

So who the hell is supervising the de-icing operation? In a two truck operation the representative side (Pilots) is normally the head de-icer if there isn't a formal "Iceman" seperate from the actual aircraft.
