Fellow Porter Pilots,
Up Next: Get Answers with DART
We're excited to announce that your Porter MEC is launching the Data Action Report (DART) program in just a few days. DART is a new tool that will give you direct access to your MEC and ALPA's subject matter experts (SMEs), so you can get reliable answers to your questions in 48 hours or less.
How DART Works
Think of DART as your one-stop shop for information. Simply submit your question, and we'll get you the right answer quickly.

We're finalizing the details with ALPA and will let you know as soon as the program is live. In the meantime, watch this video to learn more about how DART can help you stay connected with your MEC and ALPA’s subject matter experts (SMEs).

Pro-Tip: Use the ALPA App
While DART will be available online, the easiest way to use the program is through the ALPA app. The app also gives you access to other helpful tools like FlightFinder and the Orange Card.
Get ready to throw us a DART and get the answers you need!

Get Your Membership Card
To be eligible for voting, elections, survey, and many ALPA resources, you must be a member of ALPA. Many of you are already official members if you filled out a card during the organizing campaign.
If you haven't yet, we encourage you to apply for membership as soon as possible by clicking the link provided below. There is no longer a sign-up fee. Without a signed membership card, you will not be able to vote on temporary agreements, elect or be nominated for leadership roles, participate in surveys, or access member benefits and insurance programs.

Joining ALPA helps create a united front for all pilots. If you're new to unions, feel free to contact us or visit our updated FAQ page to learn more.
In unity,
Your Porter Airlines MEC
