Re: These new duty rules are going to be complicated…

News Flash! Corporate and Management companies are not Airlines and don’t normally come with the month schedule that Airlines can easily manage! These new regulations are proving to be a bit of a headache to manage, especially if you are flying a mix of overseas and continental and then throw in som...

Re: Chartright

No they don’t. There are lots of variables involved based on the machine, the type of flying and frequency. Some crews hardly fly, some fly a lot and there is a large range in between. I suspect this is why many companies like this don’t have a pay scale. I’m also a believer in negotiating your own ...

Re: Chartright

Global Captains start on $200k at Chartright. From there it’s what you negotiate.

Re: Sky Service Business Aviation

Yes I’m aware of the registry. What I’m saying is that Chartright manages all of their Canadian planes plus their US operation ones too for a total of some 54-55 total with several on the way. Sky has 54 on the T.C registry, but a few of them are private flight operators on Sky’s OC,(or so I’m lead ...

Re: Sky Service Business Aviation

Doesn’t Sky Service have a few private flight operations piggy backing onto their AOC? so the numbers are a little skewed? I was told Chartright currently manage somewhere in the mid 50’s with several more on the way. But I think this includes N registered. Either way, it’s great to see business Avi...

Re: Jumping from airline to corporate?

Yes Chartright has been raising pay and pushing for 3 crew operations. It’s going in the right direction. There are some growing pains but the CP seems to be trying hard to fix it.

At the end of the day, the owners still have to say yes.

Re: New yyz slots..this is gonna hurt!

We had a slot allocation back into YYZ for 10pm the other night from YOW. Called clearance about 8.30 for a 9pm departure and was told because of flow, our new wheels up time was 10.49pm! Then listened for the next 2 hours whilst every AC/Encore got the requested time they wanted with no more than 2...

Re: Private air strip and Hanger for rent

Yeah I saw this place too, looks really sweet. Did you see the video tour on the Realtors website? I wish I had that kind of cash too!!

I'm looking for a place in that area, but haven't found a good agent to work with yet. Is your agent any good?

Good luck

Re: Brampton Flight Club Instructors

avia_avia Sorry to hear that you feel this way. As it has been suggested above, it's a good idea to discuss your concerns with the CFI. I was a Flight Instructor at Brampton, but left about a year ago, so I'm very familiar with who is who. I have sent you a PM. I hope you get things sorted out. Spee...

Re: Brampton Flying Club

Aviator777- I think having read your last couple of posts, I would suggest that the CFI knows you better than you think, and 2 minutes is all he needed. Read my post again, especially the last bit. Aviation is a small world and it's funny what can come around and haunt you. Remember your student cou...

Re: Brampton Flying Club

Aviator777 - I would read your post again, and then think about why you didn't get hired. As for hiring, the CFI likes a diverse group of instructors an will hire from other schools, as well as BFC graduates. However, as with any CFI/Chief Pilot/DFO etc, he has to also like you. And for those of you...

Re: Seneca Certificate vs. BFC flight college.

C-GOYR, Both schools have their pros and cons, so it is really down to your personal circumstances. Seneca is government subsidised, and you end up with a degree (applied) - all good, but it will take you the best part of 4 years to complete. BFC is a one year program which gets you a Diploma in Avi...
