Would a YUL Based Pilot Fly YYZ Routes?

Post by JackRoy02 »

Hello all,
I am here to ask about routes you would fly as a pilot based in YUL.
For example, would a Q400 first officer based in YUL ever fly a line from YYZ? As example, a flight from YUL - YQB, then YQB to YYZ and then something like YYZ to YFC and overnight in Fredericton? Is this possible, or do YUL based pilots only fly routes that are to & from YUL, such as YUL - YTZ or YUL - YQM?

Thanks in advance for the responses,
Jack

Yes it happens a lot. Not sure if it's only specific bases/types but I'm pretty sure all bases have a mix of flying. I've had a few months that I didn't operate once into or out of my base

Yes it happens. There are a bunch of yyc pairings that go out east. And some yyz pairings that go west. I just finished a 4 day that overnighted in YQT first night then day 2 and 3 do a bunch of yyz turns. Then day 4 come back to yyz and dh home.

Somewhat inefficient but they make the pairings. :smt102

If you’re on the RJ, no. You’ll never get into YYZ. The people who are helping drag this profession into the dumpster get that honour. (Georgian/Sky).

And on a pairing like this would you stay with your YYC crew? Like same FO/Captain and same Flight Attendents? Or would you mix with YYZ based crews?

Generally you will stay with the same captain/fo. We tend to switch back ends quite a bit, at least in YYZ. We typically end up with different FAs every 2-3 legs it seems.

Yeah usually same captain/fo, on the dash 8 you usually stay with the same FA as well unless people get reassigned. On Q400 and RJ they do more FA swaps every few legs it seems.
