Saw this one in YXX a few years ago... Seems to be lots of after-airline rolls for the plane to fill.

Re: Moving to the US
Beyond the flying opportunities etc. involved in moving south, one should keep in mind the personal tax implications, and the personal and corporate banking information reporting requirements (and penalties for failing to do so) etc., of obtaining a green card/citizenship. This is particularly impor...

Re: Pilot prangs Metro while using cel phone during taxi
There was a story I'd heard at a previous place of employment (though I can't verify the truthiness of it) of a pilot answering his cell phone while on an approach to land. Though I doubt the conditions were IFR, he was on a recurrent check ride.... He didn't pass the check ride, oddly enough.

Re: Nor-Alta
From my understanding of the Nor-Alta medevac crew scheduling, not only have they passed TC audits with this 'scheme' in place, they also went to their POI to have a TC letter issued on the matter due to such objections from the 'newly hired' Mikisewer crews. There is justification for their 20/10 s...

Re: Eagle Jet International / Pay to Fly
Specifically concerning Eagle Jet and Ameriflight B1900/Be99/SW4 pay to play programs... From my indirect experience, each individual entering such a program has their own specific rational for choosing that route. Some reasons include people that got into flying later and decide that they cannot af...
Re: Syncrude?
From what I know...
M-F, an early flight shift and a late flight shift, moving folks from YMM to YYC and YEG, also to some of the YMM area airports, great training, great pay, flying a pair of C560s.
That's all I've got.

Re: How to Email a resume
I second Wacko's method. I include the cover letter and a cut and paste version of my resume (so that it's properly formatted for email), then include Word doc attachments of the cover letter and resume as a two page, single attachment. I like the pdf file idea though.

How about looking for a job in the oil patch, for that elusive high-paying, entry level job.

Re: Cessna 207 anyone??
Careful about the rear loading is correct.... you'll know you're a little far back when it starts to tip onto its tail. With the extended length flying empty, you do have more leverage for landing and can easily land power off versus the C206, where I've found it possible to run out of elevator in t...
