Fellow Porter Pilots,

The foundation of our first Collective Agreement starts with your priorities.

Your Negotiating Committee and MEC need your input—on everything from pay and retirement to scheduling, work-life balance, and safety. This feedback is essential for building our strategy and mandate for both immediate bargaining preparations and our upcoming negotiations.

Your participation is vital. The confidential data collected will be the backbone of our proposals and help us achieve the best outcome for all Porter pilots.

Survey Details:

  • Purpose: Capture your top priorities for our first Collective Agreement.
  • Anonymity: Fully secure and anonymous; data used only by POE ALPA leadership.
  • Timeline: Launches Thursday, October 23 – Closes Thursday, November 13, 2025.

Look for your individual, secure access link in your email inbox Thursday. The link will also be available at poe.alpa.org.

Make your priorities our mandate. Complete the survey next week.

 

Company Meeting Update and Next Steps

This morning your MEC Officers, Negotiating Committee Chair, and ALPA Labour Representation staff met in person with the Company at the 250 Yonge St. offices. We discussed several topics and directly addressed many of the concerns that you have recently raised through DART submissions. 

We look forward to progressing these conversations through our continued weekly meetings, with more in-person work planned for early December.

Stay tuned to our TextCaster updates and Negotiating Committee emails to stay up to date on the process. We look forward to seeing your input and appreciate your participation in the upcoming survey as we establish the pilot group mandate that will lead us to a stable CA1.
