Re: 1236 TT

Bit of a tough time to start a job search, but you certainly never know when you might get lucky. I'm not really in the job hunt myself, so I'm speculating a bit. I would imagine medevac operators in Alberta/Manitoba are constantly looking for guys to continue government contracts year round for the...

Re: Low Timer, not complaining

Good luck to you, Even though you don't have the credentials yet right now I would still send out some resumes, make some follow up calls so the next time you send them out and make follow ups someone might remember you. That might be the only difference between getting a call or not. Years ago I us...

Re: Charter vs. Instructor Time

I made that exact move several years ago. The 206 moved me into a Navajo then a king air and finally into a citation before i made the move to an airline. I don't see any thing wrong with instructing but i will admit i learned a lot more about my own flying skills in the bush. Good luck! Pm me if yo...

Re: Single pilot IFR

Single pilot IFR is getting tougher and tougher for companies to in the 703 world to sell. I spent a few years flying a navajo SPIFR. At the beginning it was all charter work for a number of companies but gradually less and less of those companies own insurance requirements allowed for first off, si...

Re: Polar Flights

the 777 300ER switches from magnetic to true to grid close to the pole on the primary nav display but when we fly over the pole all the way points are in the FMS. There are routes that we follow depending on the day and the winds. A few months ago going JKF to HKG we went straight north then more no...

Re: Sunwing Seasonal Pilots

Just look at the US aviation industry.... what a mess,

Thats where us Canadians are heading, paying for type ratings and and begging for jobs just to hurry up and jump ship to Westjet or AC mainline.

The problem is what can really be done?

Re: AC Pilots Pension Funding Relief

I tend to agree, sporting.

The problem is that the "hail Mary" is unfortunately going to be what I think the union is going to be pushing. Sometimes I get the feeling rather than realistic options and goals. More more more is what the unions"
"success" is determined upon.

Its a big shame what AC has become, no longer will it be a career destination maybe a career stop now?
