but will say CUPE will jump on every opportunity to "some how" push the (perceived) authority of a FA. The push to the CIRB was 100% CUPE, with the company and ACPA on side for the defense. (Unrelated to the main topic here, apologies) You've got to admit though, sounds like a much more vicious uni...

You losers still upset the FA turned you down? Here's an idea - Who gives a shit? Do I care what inflight does? Nope. Only here could you have "professional pilots" complaining about flight attendants :lol: LAME! Happily Married to a highly educated woman with a successful Professional Career. Mayb...

I am not punching down on Flight Attendants; however I do believe in keeping it real and honest. I trust (by your posts) that you are not a Pilot? Find me another job that you can get with ZERO Prerequisites, take a few week company paid course, a lifetime of free workwear, a Pension and an excelle...

Should've taken a close look at the picket line, that petite brunette who refused your offer to have a drink in your hotel room has bigger balls than any pilot by staying on that picket line. We are the literally the definition of getting played by their union. World Class Contract? Leave no penny o...

Heres an idea... Since you and Altiplano are so bothered by flight attendants because they won't sleep with you, you guys can just screw each other

By definition, if you earn money doing something, you are doing it professionally. You can be a professional dog shit collector. By contrast, a profession is generally considered to be self governing. Doctors, engineers, nurses, lawyers, etc. Both pilots and flight attendants are not. We don’t answ...

Forget the vehicle, booze, etc…. No Jazz pilot actually believes his 4 trips to Hawaii were to organize a “flow” agreement with Hawaiian right? That’s probably the most telling for me that he’s a load of shit.

It's been a month since the last post, you're pathetic.

Can I guess the rumour is AC buying Jazz?

Dec 17 is Investor day. The only rumour I heard was the MAX going to Rouge.

It really doesn’t, but it is quite comical watching a former executive of the competition seethe like a child on a pilots forum.

What, you mean people aren’t lining up to play team sports with you? I wish I could say I’m surprised. 8) :lol: The naivitee on display here is epic. Do you really believe AC had me in their sites? The guy with a staff of 5, mostly handling real estate, in a company with 3,000 people, who, by 2000,...

More yapping about how “Clive made me do it”. Still haven’t grown up enough to accept responsibility I see. If I was a porter employee I’d take pride in knowing that my company is making one of the competition founding executives (Mark Hill for those curious) seethe over a pilots forum because he wa...

Merren made a number of very ill advised tactical decisions... :lol: Pretty rich, coming from you... Hands up to all those at PD now who may think they'll do the same with YHU... :rolleyes: :roll: 8) I'll say this is beyond a tactical failure... https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/th...

exactly - so why are you blaming the failure of Lynx on Merren exactly? You keep talking in circles and not really answering questions. Merren made a number of very ill advised tactical decisions, with ultimately the full support and approval of the BoD. There's no point detailing them; the events ...

The outfit calling the shots - you mean the BOD, including "checked-out" TM? :roll: All of those decisions you mention had board approval, or were made by the board. what's your point? You can pin this on MM all you want while you ride off on DN's coattails counting your cash, but please don't abso...

Lynx was entirely controlled from a head office a few miles west of where I am, and let’s just say that it’s a place that sees very little rain and has never seen a snowflake other than occasionally on the peak of an iconic nearby hiking trail. Every decision of consequence, be it the decision to h...

What a moron

Realitychex is alluding to the same idea, that 1 NM is approximately 1.15 SM. I don't think anyone is debating that. The issue is with the use of the word, LONGER. Gentlemen, guns down please, back on topic, union or no union at Porter. Well said. It’s been a common practice for folks who can’t com...

Blah Blah Blah, just a bunch of yapping because you were wrong and can't get over it. You need a new hobby, I suggest not one like harvesting loads from airline employee travel sites. 8) Ha! My hobby is turning small investments in the airline sector into large fortunes for many, many folks over th...

Here's are Porter's operating numbers from 20 Oct to Nov 2nd inclusive. You'll need these for your calculations. Sectors Operated: 1,232 Total Seats Gemnerated: 162,624 ASL: 1,317.8 miles ASM's Generated: 214,310,844 Average Daily Utilization per Tail: 6hrs 7 mins Here are a few more sources that'l...

Everyone already knows who he is... Mark Hill, aka the Westjet executive who got caught like a moron getting Air Canada flight loads in the early days of Westjet. 15+ years of predicting Porters downfall and he's still crying like a baby it hasn't happened yet. I was skeptical. So googled the name....

“High capital cost jets”…. Elaborate The E2's are a high capital cost aircraft. Porter utilization, as tracked by any number of public websites, (some require a subcription), is shockingly low. Airborne hours per tail per day have averaged 6hrs 10 mins since Oct 16th. Over the past 7 days, it's bee...

Life is good with industry low utilization, long ASL's, fat block times and leisurely RON's, all resulting in great OTP. Easy peasy. Everyone's happy. Except the accountants. This won't last. Operating a fleet of 42 (currently), near new, high capital cost jets under 7hrs per tail per day, (and I'v...
