ALPA created a structure along with appointing temporary representatives to address any immediate issues that might arise before you elect permanent representatives. Below, please find your new council structure and pilot representatives:
LEC 272, in Vancouver (representing pilots in YVR, YHZ, YQT)
Capt. Meagan McCurdy, Chair/Capt. Rep, 902-402-3587
F/O Eric Bender, Vice Chair/First Officer Rep, 587-437-7666
Capt. Les Leier, Secretary-Treasurer, 604-765-4727
LEC 274, in Ottawa (representing pilots in YOW, YUL)
Capt. Gerry Churchill, Chair/Capt. Rep, 613-859-8781
F/O Slav Martinov, Vice Chair/First Officer Rep, 613-804-7528
F/O Laurence Charette, Secretary-Treasurer, 514-826-7408
LEC 276, in Toronto (representing pilots in YYZ, YTZ)
Capt. Brian Smith, Chair/Capt. Rep, 902-818-4402
F/O Sebastian Budisantoso, Vice Chair/First Officer Rep, 416-569-6871
Capt. Ivano Corriero, Secretary-Treasurer, 416-910-4602
Together, the captain and first officer representatives make up your Master Executive Council (MEC), and at a meeting to be held in the near future, they will select your temporary MEC chair, vice chair, and secretary-treasurer. All Porter pilots classified as an active member in good standing with ALPA may participate in this process.
I strongly encourage each of you to become an active member of your new union. Please participate in pilot group meetings and activities, vote in the upcoming election, and consider serving on a committee.
ALPA’s services, resources, and benefits are now available to you, and we want to make it as easy as possible for you to participate in your union. You’ll hear more from me in additional emails over the next few days.
The Association looks forward to working with you and your representatives to achieve the Porter pilots’ goals. Welcome to the Association!
