YHZ base going forward.
Anyone with info on the YHZ base/if they still have a Q400 base there and will they be opening an E2 base in Halifax?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: YHZ base going forward.
There is still a YHZ base on the Q4.
As far as the E2 YHZ base, possibly….eventually, also maybe not..,. but if it does happen, it’ll be after YOW, and YUL/YHU, I’m sure.

..and there are YHZ pilots commuting to YYZ to fly the E2 under the commuting program. When YOW/YHU and eventually/possibly/probably YHZ opens up they will be sitting pretty seniority wise. They will bid to commute to YOW/YHU which will be easier, then eventually YHZ. A couple years of commuting hassle for a really good #.
Re: YHZ base going forward.
As far as YHZ and YOW they are both quite senior bases.(top 25% seniority) I reckon once those bases open practically all the Q folks will snatch up all the E2 spots.
Re: YHZ base going forward.
Any updated info on this topic? What’s the current wait for a DEC Q400 to get a spot in YHZ?
Also, I know it may be very early to tell but what’s the timeline for a YYZ e2 captain to get a YHZ spot.
Thanks.

Re: YHZ base going forward.
Hard to say for the Q. There are a bunch of FOs upgrading out there so the staffing is about to flip out there (already heard theyre short on FOs).
E2 YHZ base, impossible to say. No plans for the base have been announced
Re: YHZ base going forward.
At least for anyone waiting on an E2 base in YHZ, if they’re starting to deploy some tails out east and like the numbers they see out there that has to be a good sign.
Here’s hoping the YHZ Q pilots don’t have their blocks cut down after the equipment change. Lots of great people out there.
