Affect of Tariffs on Canadian Airlines

Starting to wonder how the US tariffs will affect Canadian airlines like Air Canada, WestJet and Porter. A lot of people online vowing to avoid travel to the US, which is a big part of the overall traffic. Business travel likely going down too. Some say they will go elsewhere for leisure, but overal...

Re: Expat Flying

Are there any expat airlines still worth making a career out of anymore? It's frustating seeing the QOL decline in Canada by most metrics, but it seems like a lot of the "classic" expat airlines like Emirates, Cathay, etc are no longer what they once were. Reading this forum or pprune would lead on...

Re: Why does de Havilland Canada have a 737?

The aircraft belongs to Sherry Brydson, who owns a good piece of the Thomson firm Woodbridge. I think she owns some of De Havilland too. Also has a place in Victoria. I am guessing it’s managed by DHD and is primarily for her use. She was worth $18B a few years ago, probably more now. I think she ca...

Re: Jazz merging with Air Canada?

They can, I believe the exclusivity that was violated with PAL expires Jan 1, so I would not at all be surprised to see a deal with CMA, that’s what AC does. It’s business 101, they are negotiating with Jazz past 2025 of which we are only guaranteed 80 fins, of course Jazz wants more than that to s...

Re: Five Embraers being sold?

5 175s are not being sold. In the end it will be 25 175s, 30 CRJ900s and 25 Q400s. Not sure why this is a surprise as it was the plan in the CPA for years to reduce to 80 aircraft. Doubtful that AC will need the feed from the 14 Q400s being parked. There is a lot of mainline capacity coming online i...

Re: New hire bids

Regarding your references to the Jazz fleet, I’d hardly call our Dash 8-400 clapped out and they were first introduced to the Jazz fleet in 2012. The Dash 8-100/300 were indeed “clapped out” but have been retired from Jazz for a couple of years. The older CRJ 100/200 have also been finally retired ...

Porter Jumpseat Listing

It’s been a while since I listed for the Porter RJP. The address flyporter.com/jumpseat doesn’t seem to work. It redirects to the main site. Do you still list somewhere or just show up with the firm filled out?

Re: Negotiations

“future looks uncertain.” Is he saying the pay will stay shit or the place is going under? That is a ridiculous unqualified statement to put in any MEC bulletin. So in the span of 2 days the VP FLT OPS quits and the MEC CHMN throws kerosene on the fire. Great times at Jazz. The VP retired - plain a...

Re: Company Morale

If you are type rated on the Ejet and based in YYZ, there is zero logical reason to not leave Jazz, unless if you interview with mainline is completed already NOT A SINGLE REASON Unless you don’t believe the E195 operation at Porter will make it. I am in that camp. I don’t think the investors will ...

Re: Company Morale

I came over from Sky with very high expectations of Jazz. I have been flying for a living now for over 30 years and thought Jazz would be the last stop in my career. I must say that in my 30 years as a pilot Jazz is by far the worst managed airline I have ever worked for. I am not here to shit on J...
