Interesting .... Layers placed in aviation, and still it gets through the "swiss cheese". Simply Wow! :smt021 - Reviewing NOTAM's - Take-off Briefing - Moving Map Charts (AMM) on the Electronic Flight Bag - "Lined-up" SOP call(s) - General Situational Awareness - Challenging Non-normal situation via...

I also don't see why not this: 1900 FO 1900 CA (possibly optional*) E2 FO E2 CA Another route for sure; but be aware the candidate would sit a number of years as a jet FO (3-5 years based on TT joining Porter) in order to meet the upgrade matrix currently in place. From discussions with trainers on...

This could be a path ... (TT is an approximation) 1900 FO (less than 1000 TT) 1900 Capt (1500-200TT) Dash 8 Capt (2500TT) E2 Capt (4000 TT) Another option 1900 FO (less than 1000TT) E2 FO (1500TT) Dash 8 Capt (2500TT) E2 Capt (4000 TT) and possibly Dash 8 FO (less than 1000 TT to approx 1500TT) Dash...

I've never understood why Canada's approach ban rules are so f-ing complicated. This whole thread is about trying to figure out why 3 planes from 2 companies all had different approach ban numbers for the same runway and nearly identical approaches Simply, as mentioned by others, It's what TC allow...

I'm not sure I see the logic in that when both approaches have the same 2600 RVR limit on the plates and the same DA(H) of 200 feet ? I guess Transport considers the LPV approach to be more accurate than an ILS ? Transport Canada Publication TP308 - Criteria for the Development of Instrument Proced...

CAR 705.48 has all the details. Different airlines will have different internal limits as well. They all CAN be authorized as per the above regulation. If they choose to do so is up to them. RVSM - CAR 705.08 (G)(vi) RNP AR - CAR 705.08 (G)(vi) CAT II - CAR 704.47 (1)(a) Take Off Minima - CAR 705.3...

All depends if you have the 75% or 50% OPS Spec (Now Specific Approvals) and how the airplane and airport are equipped. Porter's Fleet does not have HUDs The Dash is Ops Spec'd for RNAV-AR "RNAV Y's", as well as LPVs The E2 is only spec's for LNAV/VNAV, with the RNAV-AR in the works for the current ...

Emails went out at 19:25, most are reading through it right now.

Precursory reading points to an underwhelming exercise.

New changes will be in effect Mar 2025.

According to the FAA AIM: https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/atpubs/aim_html/chap4_section_4.html Section 4. ATC Clearances and Aircraft Separation Clearance A --- A clearance issued by ATC is predicated on known traffic and known physical airport conditions. An ATC clearance means an auth...

Wow that's dumb. Why would anyone go e2 FO to q400 capt with those rules? Even a 2yr e2 FO upgrading, and going yr1 ca q400. The first year or two maybe, but compare e2 fo yr4 to q400 ca yr3. Why would anyone do that? More work, more responsibilities, less money. The q400 to e2 movement is heavily ...

A few question for the organizing committee at Porter. - If you had the required amount of signatures tomorrow, how long would it foreseeably take to complete a CBA/TA given the start up of a union? - During that time, what would pilots be held to? the current FOAG? would everything on paper be 'fro...

On a separate note, the way Porter does the bases and flying is a great way to circumvent seniority (I.e, YUL base. No internal bids even though there was tons of pilots from YUL, all direct hires in). Complete BS. Agreed! There were internal bids in the spring of 2023 that were not honored. Email ...

But what if you're on time, but the last flight to get home is full? Same policy still apply or you're on your own If there's no seat available for you, then you might just be out of luck. You check the next available flight, possibly on another carrier, and get home later than expected; or spend t...

Scales aren't up-to-date on the site. (May 2023)

Porter has gone up, while Lynx is still listed; for example

Anyone have any insider knowledge on base transfers timeline? I heard only 6 F/O spots opened for YOW in June which makes me wonder how long a base transfer would take as a newcomer onto the E2. Actually it's 4. As per the FOAG language, 2 spots are guaranteed by the 33% fleet transfer from the das...

I would assume that it's based on type and years of service on said type. Here's an old contract, that depicts it: (look at Section 3.2) https://negotech.labour.gc.ca/eng/agreements/14/1414802a.pdf Here's the most current one that I've found: https://negotech.service.canada.ca/eng/agreements/14/1414...

As a commuter, I try to minimize my time taking any form of public transit; however it's a necessary evil. My impressions are that it should be a user-paid system. Look at the 407 for example. When I drive from Ottawa/Montreal to Waterloo/London (about 6 times a year), I will gladly hop on/off the 4...

Porter normally will hire you at 1000TT, as long as you pass the interview Porter normally doesn’t do as you say, with 6000 plus hours of king air captain time they haven’t offered me a position to date. I'm not part of the hiring committee, nor training, but *maybe* it's because they do screen for...

YOW Dash 8 operations has seen some major turnover due to folks leaving for the jet. Of the current FO's, 5 of the 22 on property have more than a year with Porter. 17 are fairly new! Soft cap of 25-30 FO's in YOW based on trying to have equal numbers for scheduling purposes. Porter normally will hi...

Management has been very tightly keeping their cards to their chests about this one, multiple questions were directed at them during OCT/NOV townhall style meeting. Prior to that townhall, the general consensus was that YOW would have been opened prior to this holiday season. Due to training backlog...

Most recent that I can think of, not sure if they wrote the airframe off, however at 5.5g, it must have been a costly repair

If you're a clip on guy, check your damn ego and WEAR THE LANYARD. If you still haven't received a red one, get off your ass and go find one!!

Maybe have the Union make up RED clips

YHZ is even more "senior" by comparison, than YOW. YHZ has currently 26 CA and 19 FO. I believe that there is room for 30 in each. Most senior Captain hired 2006, most Junior in 2017. Most senior First Officer in 2015, most junior summer of 2022; half the list hired after 2019. E2 outstations have n...
