Re: 2013 Float Pilot Predictions
I wont lie. When I saw the beaver position with those hours i said "its about time!!" and began to get excited that maybe just maybe there is hope for lower timed pilots. But than again who am I kidding. I only have 200tt and 10 on floats but I wasn't born yesterday!! haha. I know it ain't gonna hap...

Re: Air Georgian Cadet Program
Well I am more of a "watch from the sidelines" kinda guy but after hearing about this I just wanted to give my two cents. As a pilot nearing completion of his commercial with all the fixings I find it a big kick in the pants. On the other hand, I am excited just due to the fact that young Canadians ...

Re: may toronto assessment session
i just noticed the new assessment was poster the other day for october. i have had the green light a few times but never invited to the assessment. how long do they usually inform you about the assessment when they post the date? is it through e-mail?? and how hard is the assessment if infact it is.

Re: INRAT
I had about 9 GPS questions. That exam kicked me in the a** but than again i passed with flying colours. :) I second the notion of studying everything. You cannot be weak in anything.

Re: I need help with flight dispatcher course in Canada
Hey there, I second the "no dispatcher course in Ottawa" that is unfortunate. I am just trying to understand what you exactly need so here are 2 scenerios. 1. You need to be prepared to write the Transport Canada/FAA dispatch exams. In this case its just a matter of studying the right materials. You...

Re: Higher time, can't find a job
This thread seems like quite the paradox in ways. I gotta ask because it is unclear to me what happened to you guys? Laid off? Changed careers and now doing a comeback? I am a low timer but I am in no rush for hours and now reading this, it makes me wonder what the heck is the point of having those ...

Nathan, I here you when it comes to not finding a job. I have what I think may be a great solution. I know this may sound very cliche but the instructor rating is a great way to begin your career BUT!!!!! It still is not the airlines so what do you do??? Well if you are up for it and most pilots are...

Re: One answer to fix the industry
Whatever happened to the "Pilot Shortage"?!?!? You know I began flying 3 years ago and got the infamous speech "there is no better time to be a commercial pilot than now!!". Man was I excited and then 100 hours and I began to see the same old faces around the club and even more showing up each month...

Re: Ice Pilots of NWT Series on History Channel this Fall!
At Juan's age and experience, that was epic. I cant imagine taking s***t in my 50's for something like that. If Juan was a tool I would be siding with Joe, but doesn't appear that way and he fixed the plane for the next day before he told Joe where to go. In my experience you dont see guys go that e...

Sounds like a good place to work IMO. Very professional, friendly people. Does anyone know if they filled the two new dispatcher positions yet? I know this is an old thread but I would hate to make a new one.
