Fellow Porter Pilots,

ALPA Canada is hosting a Pilot Unity Building (PUB) event to officially welcome Porter pilots to ALPA.

This is a timely and important opportunity for Porter pilots to get connected. You'll be able to network with colleagues from our other Canadian carriers, discuss key industry issues, and share valuable insights as we look toward upcoming contract negotiations.

When: Thursday, November 6, 2025, from 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.

Where: Amsterdam Brewhouse, Toronto

We look forward to seeing you there for a great night of celebration and pilot unity building with our fellow ALPA members!

$20,000 ALPA Canada Basic Life Coverage

As an ALPA Canada member, you are automatically covered by a free $20,000 Basic Life Insurance policy sponsored by ALPAThis benefit is valid for Canadian residents worldwide, regardless of the cause of death.

Urgent—Designate Your Beneficiary Now: Without one, your family faces unnecessary legal delays, and the benefit could be reduced by provincial probate fees. Here’s why:

  • More Money, Faster: The proceeds go directly to your named family members, bypassing your estate to avoid costly legal and provincial probate fees
  • It’s Private: The designation is private, unlike information in a will.
