dagwood . . . . this industry is ass backward. class IV 250hr wonders teaching airline inspired newbies. 2500tt will get you $25k a year on a 1900. accept it. pay your dues. hours are important. you wana work in the air - then you better get some experience in it. making it in this industry is half ...

in laymans terms (cause im too lazy to read through all the rambling and rants) could someone tell me the gist of what this college of pilots is please.

thanks.

Go tell a Tindi rampie they're going to hire some FO's and watch them freak out. WHAT?! why should rampies be pissed when they hire outsiders to fill flying positions?! Because the outsiders actually had the balls to go out and bust some ass and build some time?? how does throwing bags improve your...

Actually JAC you are under the wrong impression. It is not uncommon for direct hire to right seat and bypass the ground stuff as long as you have some decent time. That's why I said correct me if I'm wrong... I had a buddy who worked there and that's what he told me. He was on the ground at the tim...

really?! nothin???

Hey, just wondering if anyone could give me some info on Perimeter. Are they hiring anytime soon? What are they like to work for? hours per month? pay for an FO? Captain? Do they bond you? schedule? any info would be much appreciated. thanks.

class 4 and bought a house?! which flight school do you work at?

thats too bad for the people who were sucked into JetU's scam. however just another example of how you must do your research before you fork over $80,000. does anyone know anything about ATP (airline transport professionals) regional jet course?? http://www.atpflightschool.com/programs/index.html

how does one legally fly 200+ hours per month?

this is ridiculous. why are people even accepting these sketchy jobs with such ridiculous pay?!?! yes yes. . . 'there is always someone else who will always do your job for less than you' . . this is absurd. are we not trained professionals? is there not quite a high risk with flying which we should...

can anyone give some credible info about orca? im wondering what working conditions / schedule / pay is like. any idea when they do most of their hiring? will this summer be alot of hiring? min hrs? thanks.

do you have an atpl?

However, regionals and majors in the states have begun to recall furloughs and most of the red that was seen in fall has now turned to neutral yellow on many career outlooks. I think we are beginning to see a light at the end of a dark tunnel. unless i am being too optimistic. Whats all this talk ab...

so it is pretty much impossible to find work anywhere in canada right now. just wondering what peoples thoughts are about how long this recession will last and have an impact on airlines hiring. will the olympics help at all next year? any hope or should I pick up a trade?

besides, there are no jobs down there right now.

is perimiter hiring?!

amen!

CMA is a joke. They expect you to have an atpl with a couple thousand hours of turbine time but they give you shit money for it. Do they not realize that their FO's are well below the poverty line?

does anyone know of any good airlines in the states that will hire low time guys (around 400hrs) that are currently hiring? cargo or charter ops?

its called a walk around not a runaround.

ive sent in about 4 resumes to perimeter and heard nothing. anyone else hearing back?

out in vancouver where i am its $25 an hour as a class III. however no base pay. how you make a living doing that during winter is simply not possible. gonna be a lot of turn over.

A year ago regionals in the states were hiring guys onto Q-400's with 250hrs. However that seems to be slowing down a bit. Living conditions suck down there and $19k a year is hard to live on but I would rather time build on a RJ then a sketchy navajo gig up north. Whats the prediction for hiring do...

for those of you who have converted your TC licence to FAA how long did it take to finally get your perminant licence?
