I stand corrected. Thanks for the clarification. I still find it extremely odd that ICAO/FAA would require this differentiation since Porter already flew to the US with the Q400 and most airlines have multiple bases. But they make the rules. Kind of adds to the whole “airline within an airline” vibe...

That’s ridiculous. Porter only has one operating certificate(OC) to the best of my knowledge.
It also cannot be some type of ATC requirement to separate the turboprops from the jets since Jazz has operated jets and turboprops over the years with the same Jazz call sign

Why is the Porter Q400 call sign now "dashboard" while the Embraer pilots continue with the "Porter" call sign?

Guys all I was asking was if anyone heard rumors on management’s starting position on scope. It’s no different than if I asked what their starting position on raises was. It’s probably 15% and obviously the Membership won’t accept that and you will have to meet somewhere in the middle or strike or b...

I not asking what the MEC’s (or the pilot group’s) stance on it is. I’m wondering if the company has tabled anything regarding scope. By the way, the scope let in the failed MOA was not the reason it failed. All it was for were some 50 seat RJs, operated by a non-Jazz carrier to provide some transbo...

So, would anyone care to postulate, is scope on the table at all in the current talks? obviously North American scope clauses currently prohibit small jets greater than 76 seats, but according to bargaining 101: shoot for the moon and settle somewhere in between, would this not be a good angle for A...

The “breakthrough” designation means fast tracked through the approval process twice as fast as the regular process — which is apparently twelve years. That this is some kind of related withdrawal effect can’t be ruled out, perhaps this event includes coming off some other “self medicating” substan...

He said he had become depressed about six months prior and had recently experimented with psychedelic mushrooms. So it sounds like he was trying to self medicate with mushrooms rather than go on an antidepressant that would require a minimum of a six month grounding (per FAA and TC policy on taking ...

Just out of curiosity, why is it “easier to lose your medical in Europe”?

Nonmedical,
Any update on your file? Have they at least given you a restricted Cat 1?

This guy was still on probation so he will 100% be fired. If he was off probation it might be more difficult for AC to fire him or they would probably have to buy him out but as a probationary pilot, he is done

Apparently he was still on probation so I’d say slim chances

Yes but on that forum can you be anonymous?

I believe there has been a court ruling since the postal strike that will make legislating the AC pilots back to work very difficult

Why are there CRJ-900 pay rates there? So in the event they do operate them, there is a pre-negotiated rate? Hello? Opposed to ACPA method of “capturing” flying already within our scope by agreeing to a discount. Professional v amateur negotiating. Ok if that the case, why would they not have an E1...

Why are there CRJ-900 pay rates there?

Rudder I know what I'm talking about because I've flown with several of these guys. I looked at the 2024 vacation bid and they are still there. It's easy to tell who the ex SKY guys are because their employee # all start the same way. Yes many have left but about 15 CA and 5 FO ex SKV remain in 2024...

Yes If I had to guess, less than 20% of the eligible ex-GGN pilots are still at Jazz. Perhaps closer to 10%. Ex-SKV will likely be less than 33% by year end. It is what it is. Jazz didn’t want pilots to treat being a CPA pilot as a ‘career’ job. They got their wish. Just 22 ex-SKV pilots included i...

You going to pay my mortgage when AC decides we are in default of our obligations to staff our aircraft and blows up the whole CPA? We weren’t even in open bargaining and AC offered us a deal worth over 45 million a year? Look after your own issues at whatever airline you work for, our bargaining re...

Wasn’t jazz supposed to be the sole service provider under the air canada express tag? Wasn’t that one of the pillars of the deal that was signed for 17 YEARS? What is Jazz ALPA doing about this? Why is the Jazz pilots accepting that meh MOS? Seriously grow fn backbone but all I see is shrugged sho...
