Porter Pilot Informational Meetings

Our series of roadshows continues tomorrow, and we've enjoyed meeting many of you.  This is a valuable opportunity to learn about your ALPA benefits and resources and get a clear picture of our path toward collective bargaining. Pilots from all bases are welcome to attend any of the scheduled meetings.

Next Up: Halifax

  • Sunday, September 14, 1500 AT
  • Location: Hampton Inn–Banook / Bedford Room (65 Cromarty Drive, Dartmouth)
  • Refreshments will be provided.

This meeting will cover a wide range of topics, including:

  • Introductions from local representatives and primary pilot contacts.
  • An overview of the ALPA structure and the role of the ALPA Canada board.
  • Key resources like Aeromedical Services, the Critical Incident Response Program, and enhancements to Fly Well.
  • The collective bargaining process.
  • What to expect in the coming months.
  • An open Q&A session.

We encourage you to attend, meet your representatives, and get your questions answered.
