Hi timel I am not a UK pilot. Actually Europe and Antarctica are the only 2 continents I have not worked on. So can't comment on wages there but I do know that their flight and duty regs follow ICAO standards. 900 hours per year max, 100 hours per 28 days and there are limits on duty times as well (...

Cherub77 Hi mate, as a fellow expat married to a Canadian, take it from me getting your right to live and work here is not that difficult but it TAKES FU&*ING FOREVER. I applied over 16 months ago and still no word yet. The immigration department went on strike last year for god knows how long and t...

Censo, (and others who think its ok to be payed nothing) Passion may be a part of why people go into flying but like others said passion isn't going to pay the bills. Have some respect for yourself, if you are a PROFESSIONAL pilot sitting at the front of a regional jet then you deserve to be payed a...

Thought it was already announced at 76000 left seat and 40000 for the right If thats true its disgusting! I recently took a hiatus from flying in Canada for this very reason (Yes I have significant experience). Why would anyone gain the experience needed for this sort of position and go to work for...

Just curious if anyone knows if there are any opportunities for work out of the Soo. I don't want to work for the flight school and the only other gig I know about is the MNR king air, I believe that is a hard nut to crack. I have significant large turbo prop experience and was wondering if there is...

Could anyone tell me what the schedule is like for Captains? Is there any chance of a rotational schedule?

Just after some current info. Do Wasaya still have a dash8 out of Thunder Bay? If so who crews it and what is the schedule, destinations? appreciate any info, cheers.

Enough with foreign pilots! I don't give a damn of what people may say after I post this! Its hard enough for us Canadian pilots to get a break in the industry with all the competition there is out there! All we need is an additional group of individuals that will harden the process. Its already be...

Anyone interview lately hear back yet?

1 Cloud + 2 Aircraft = 3 Hour Delay[/quote] This is not the case at all, well at least not in the eastern Caribbean! I flew there for almost 2 years and only ever cancelled once in that time. To be honest Canada seems to have the toughest ATC with regards to getting off the ground in IFR condition I...

ogc wrote:Just out of curiosity, have there been any incidents involving the local populations in these areas?

From my limited knowledge of world conflicts at the moment, all of those places have some pretty heavy stuff going on?

Just wondering about this as well. How is living there in regards to safety?

check your PM's

I have over 2000 hours and I have been out of work for over a year. However I just landed a gig after what seemed like a loosing battle. So basically the lesson of my story is that you can never give up! I sent over 300 applications and emails, made countless phone calls and shook many hands in the ...

Anyone heard about interviews yet?

Would love to know anyone working at Sanders. I have 1000 hours on an Islander and like the overseas working style. PM me if you could.

I am willing to go anywhere fly anything and don't even give a toss about pay really (anything is better than nothing). Hang in there, remember to keep your intergrity, don't work for free no matter how worst times are. It will just make things worst for you in the future. Good luck dude[/quote] Ju...

"It's not what you, it's who you know." Actually it is who knows you and the impression you left them with, but I digress. This may be my problem I am an Australian and I haven't flown in Canada before. I hold a Canadian ATPL and have a working visa but I know very few people in Canada. I have move...

So I realize things are tough everywhere at the moment however this just seems rediculous. I have over 2000 TT, 1100 MPIC been applying for anything and everything for over 6 months and only had 1 interview and not many more call backs. I am willing to go anywhere fly anything and don't even give a ...

Just wondering where the day to day laws are located for IFR flying? I understand that there is some information in the CAR's but I am talking about an everyday working pilots guide. Things like LSALT off route when can you descend below MSA at night that sort of thing surely there is some sort of p...

Does anyone know of any web addresses where you can get aircraft specs (namely king air 100)? Going for an interview and would like to have some knowledge on the aircraft

I spent 18 months working in the Caribbean and it was the best 18 months of my life. Couple of other companies are SVG Air and Mustique Air both out of St Vincent. You need time on BN2 or AC500 in general to get a start but if you have 500 hours MPIC then I think there are ways around this. If you n...

I have been in the industry now for 8 years but am making a new start in Canada, as I have recently become engaged to a Canadian. I am from Australia and have done most of my flying there. I also have flown briefly in China and most recently in the Caribbean. I know like most of you that getting a j...

After some help if anyone knows. Is there any text that specializes in the conversion exam from the FAA ATP to the Canadian, practice questions etc. The transport department doesn't seem to have any idea about it, all they do is give you the syllibus for the whole Canadian ATP. I even got sent an ou...
