New Favorite Airline: Porter Air

[hankrausch]

Have to do a lot of work up in Canada lately and find myself commuting up there weekly. Checked the options- United (pass), Air Canada, maybe, what’s this? A little airline flying Dash-8’s? Porter Air? Tried it and loved it! Every seat is an aisle or a window, friendly staff, a Dash-8 overhead compartment only fits real carry on bags not the trunks people are dragging these days and when you ask for a beer (complimentary) you get a proper Canadian half liter not a wimpy 12 oz!
The pilots seem very young— sat next to a deadheading Dash-8 FO and he told me Canadian rules allow becoming a FO at 250 hours.

Beer complimentary and in a real glass container, plus attractive female flight attendants...!!!

Sounds like a great little airline. I hope they move west.
