This pay comparison graph isn’t accurate. For example, year 1 CA at Transat is $190.26, ranging to $262.22 for year 11. Interesting. Did Transat implement that recently? This pay scale comparison was published in late July. Porter has a habit of using the TS narrow body scale as a comparison, which...

I know of a few pilots who are just waiting for Porter to open YVR and will be applying right away.

It strangely works for most for the time being. The only people who complain about the E2 schedule are dash pilots Not quite the case actually. That said, they absolutely have a reason to complain. Someone who has been a trainer with Porter for umteen years, now being told a guy being hired next we...

Generally speaking this is all part of the light speed growth and I don’t expect that the bulk of the trainers will be “reservable” all that much longer. As was on the Q, trainers were told simply don’t bid splits (or expect a chat if you do), the training premium was only paid if a training event ...

Y'all forget how recently Porter cut your pay (after COVID). Don't think it couldn't happen again. You would be smart to organize now while times are good and solidify a strong collective agreement. I’m a gambling man. Good thing I might be able to spend a few hours in Vegas come spring time. I thi...

You must mean for the multiple line checks being done daily. Yes I guess they are being held off the schedule to get this operation going. I hear flair has lots of single days. It's funny the jealousy of so many unknowlegeable folks, until they actually get to see the work involved in getting peopl...

On Porter's website when you book a flight and go to select your seats for same day or next day travel I am seeing this. I am not sure if this is accurate or not which is why I was asking. I am not sure what the reality is. If the average passenger loads are actually much higher than the 40 passeng...

How about single day pairings for the E2? Will there be more available in the future? Pairing breakdown for Nov on the E2: 1 day : 66 2 day : 42 3 day : 50 4 day : 135 5 day : 55 I assume all numbers of pairing types will increase as the operation grows. To be fair, single days are taken for traini...

Shows that even Porter is not impervious to organized labour. CSAs are not who I thought would go first.

One of the last groups I thought would go.

Will there be more 1 day pairings available on the E2 once more destinations are added in the future? I would not be holding my breath for 1 day pairings unless you're involved in the training department for the foreseeable future. A lot of them are getting held back for training Exactly. Many of t...

If anyone has time on other jets and are currently flying the E2, whar are your impressions compared? The good bad and ugly. I know, love the one your with. Thanks. RT Coming off an airbus, I personally would take the bus any day of the week. From the comfort of the flight deck, to avionics, etc. T...

Under the 1000 hour program, has or would Porter hire anyone straight from instructing? If so, anyone know how they're adjusting to flying the Q and in busy airspace? Everyone is focusing on the wrong aspect. VFR vs. IFR. That is the last thing to have an argument over, especially as someone coming...

Any thoughts on why would a long time Porter CFO would resign now while the company is in the middle of a huge expansion and throwing millions of dollars left and right ? After 14 years or so, what didnt he like all of a sudden about the numbers to the point of raising the white flag ? Sry, someone...

Impossible to answer for any carrier. Do the interview, get a call anywhere from a day later to 6 weeks later. Maybe a groundschool 3 weeks later, oh wait had a drop out so your gnd school is now only a week later. Oh busy sim, so sim starts a month later, wait sick call your up. On the line, you’re...

At least apedude is an equal opportunity troll, who bashes all companies somewhat on a level playing field, the above is in the WestJet forum. Here he is slinging mud in the transat forum. I think he's just an angry person. I’m raising awareness. Yr 1 salary in the LOW 60’s. 3 yr BOND $30,000. :rol...

-the reserve callout period is 1.5 hours This really needs to change given that you spend 1/3 of that callout time just walking from your car to the gate You may want to go see your CAME if it takes you that long. The walk is a well-planned part of a crew fitness and wellness program designed by HR...

Which is a better option for a long term career based out of Toronto, Porter E2 or WestJet? Porter Pros: Faster upgrade time Will climb in seniority fast Toronto base will always be around WestJet Pros: Established airline with jets since 1996 Lots of destinations - Social bidding Part of ALPA Unio...

They exist and are quite extensive.

Porter not working out for you, looking at bailing already? Or did you actually turn it down in hopes for the E2?
