Re: Avionco
avionco ! if my memory serve me right they hired dash/8 driver for contractual work all over the free world, I met some of the dash/8 pilots and they were a happy bunch, but if business slows down they are the first to feel the pinch IMO

Re: Buffalo Rampie!!!
I think it makes absolutely no difference .. there will always be young people or less young people applying there, it is difficult but if you can take the abuse you might get eventually to fly there enough pilots either quitting or getting fired.

Re: Higher time, can't find a job
somehow the ratio pilot/jobs must be around 100/1 with so many looking and so few called.

before you think about conversion you have to apply for immigrant status in canada first. without you have no chance.
then you can think of converting your license then you can apply to westjet,

I remember doing the dozer run, sometime it was so cold, I would jump and jog beside the dozer while it crawled up and down the runway in blinding snowstorm .
