They have some KING AIRS 350 at YHZ. One has a corporate contract. The other KING AIR does other work, I think some medevacs and maybe charters. Provincial Airways is a good job in the Maritimes, I know some guys there and once was going to apply.

COMETer

COMETer, your posts show ignorance to airline operations, for example at Jazz, not Air Jazz, you are not simply upgraded based on a seniority number, you still have to pass all checks and line indoc. If you don't pass, you don't upgrade. The system you dream of, is one where a brown noser like your...

Me too. Know some guys with PAL its a GOOD job and a GOOD company they' ll do well.

Cometer, I thought you had all the prop time you needed/wanted 2-3 years ago and that you deserved nothing less than direct entry to jets and the Jazz fast track to captain upgrade "scheme"? So you all were right on that, that Air jazz does things via the senior system. But then explain to me why C...

Good luck!

THanks man! I appreciate it! I have applied

Cometer, I thought you had all the prop time you needed/wanted 2-3 years ago and that you deserved nothing less than direct entry to jets and the Jazz fast track to captain upgrade "scheme"? Yo friend. I looked aat going to Air Jazz but I was told you couldn'int preselect your airplane an when I wa...

What are my chances of a YHZ base if hired by Porter? How long is the upgrade in YHZ? Is it becoming senior like it is with Air Jazz? Or is it junior like it is with Air Georgian?

COMETER

The monies one can make doing ISR flyights for Provincial is a lot, if you can get to the Caribbean contract they have. The Provincial guys who are based in Halifax flying the King Airs don't fly a lot and don't make a lot. So do the ISR stuff and you'll be making a lot more.

I can confirm everything is good there because I know three First Officers there and they love being at home in Newfouldland. Newfies are good good peoples lord knows we give them a hard time but they'd give you the shirt off their back and good for them, to git to work at home instead of going to F...

I am on the Dash based in YUL and am trying to get back to YYC, is anyone interested in a base swap?? That should be an easy swap from what I hear YUL is senior and Calgary is more junior so you will find somebody to trade or a newhire to take your place and go West. I think you need to read this a...

\ From what I have heard, aside from a few growing pains in the back end (which they are sorting out). The 757 operations is going quite smoothly. We are only 2 months in. Is thar any more info about the 757s and how they are running? What are the trips like? For how many years seniority does it ta...

Hey Everyone Just wondering if there are any other 2,000 hour pilots out there having troubles finding work... Anyone got any helpful hints for those of us in this phase of the job search? thanks in advance Shadoe Maan, there's jobs out there to be had this year. Go work and put yourself in positio...

willing to fly wrote:Really? No one on here knows anything about Summit? Anyone have friends that work there and want to speculate what the pay/rotation is?

No, I want to know also. The ones who fli the Army parachute demonnstraaation team, thats a fun job.

The only kingairs operating for VAL are in Moncton. From what I've heard there is not a lot of movement out of that base as the folks there tend to like it. If you come to VAL you can bet on working overseas. Occasionally there is domestic work, but the lions share of our work in overseas. Cheers. ...

Yup, all bonds suck, but as I said it's better than paying for your job or your training. For me, I already knew what overseas work was like, and had a pretty good idea what the job was all about, so sticking around for at least one year was not a big deal. But if you're not sure if this lifestyle ...

KK7 speaks the truth about Voyager. I have several friends wHo are there and say its a good place to get turbine time. The bond sucks but what can you say. Pilots are always lookin for better jobs its natural guys think about jumping ship. A year goes by quick, especially when you are making monies ...

COMETer, relax get your PPL then think about applying to the Airlines. Don't get too far ahead of yourself. No worries man! I got me a nice freight job, lots of IFR flying, only problem is well its not turbine. And thats what you have to fli if you want to go to the airlines. Wanna give me a turbin...

Thanks guys you saved me lots of money

Jazz DOES hire people out of flight school. Its no secret,, read about in the Jazz forum.

If you get an interview with Jazz be sure to tell them that you will only fly the RJ because you want the jet time to get a better job on a wide body. They're sure to love that. :lol: If they award me an Accelerated Command Captaincy on the Dash, I'll go there. It depends on how the Captains Review...

I'll let the Captain's Upgrade Review Board be the final judge of all that. If hired at Jazz, I'll put in my upgrade bid after a year of flying the line, and let the chips fall as they may. Why does it take forevur to upgrade ther? Are thar people Jazz hires low on experiuncce? Is hiring people stra...

Good to know, good to know!

What are competitive times for pilot applicants now?
How long is time to Captaincy? Are you guys still hiring Direct Entry Captains?

Who is going to handle the ramp work at YTZ? Air Canada staff from other bases such as the IAM? We haven't heard anything yet, but curious who will do it. Rumor is that we (Porter) will under contract, but will we have dedicated crews for Sky Regional? I'm sure they will be very fussy on how their ...
