No you don't, as you have now seen my post was correct.

Do you happen to be amongst the "chosen few"? If so, I'm sure there are many whom are more than curious to hear anything you have to say.

The website confirms this as fact: http://www.airgeorgian.ca/recruitment-p ... ogram.html

Yes it certainly is. Thank you.

Looks like YTZ is becoming the new Pickering...it will be interesting to see how this pans out.

Not sure I am following this correctly.

What does TC Cat 1 require for visual acuity? What do airlines generally require for visual acuity? If one wears glasses but their vision is corrected to 20/20 is there ever an issue? Where does laser eye surgery factor into the equation, if at all?

Best flying i ever did was a DHC-2 on the wet coast. Airline flying for me hasn't been much fun. It is a job. Besides being away from home, what is it that you dislike the most about working as an Airline pilot compared to flying the DHC-2? DHC-2: low and slow hands on flying Living and working in ...

Abandoned PPL flight training 6 years ago with ~45 hours when I took off to go to university...ground school, solo cross country completed. Now I have been getting the urge to get back into it but am at a loss where to begin. Money is somewhat of an issue, especially considering my student loans an...

What is the cost of a Cat. I vs. Cat III medical these days? Depends where you go. I spend around $200 to get both my TC (Cat I) & FAA renewed in Toronto, but for just the TC Category I you can probably expect anywhere from $100 to $150 (some doctors will give you a break if you have to pay for it,...

Yes, greatly inspiring story Dave - and I feel you on the basement full of sewage, but at least in our case the septic tank guaranteed where it came from (does that make it any better?). Your example goes to show that I probably wont get a real assessment of my skills until I am actually at the cont...

I am not sure I fully understand all the negativity regarding this program. As previously mentioned, achieving the equivalent training independently costs approximately the same - hence, doesn't a similar investment WITH a conditional job offer place one a few steps ahead? Likewise, aren't instituti...

I should note that my goal is to make it into the majors and I would be unsatisfied with anything less. You are not even a PPL yet and you are already making such statements. . . Why would you say that now as a 23 year-old looking to possibly get in the industry? There is certainly nothing wrong wi...

Hello, I am relatively new to posting here so forgive me if this is a topic of general repetition. I have recently finished university (age 23) and am considering several career paths to pursue, one of which is piloting. I have partially completed a PPL, but am no where near any sort of significant ...

How strict is that deadline?

Colonel, you mean "Z" off every single remaining page? Excuse my ignorance...I am not sure I understand.

Yes, extremely lucky. The flight school is undergoing some restructuring due to a conflict with airport management and is now operating with a very limited staff from a private hangar. When I arrived I was told that most of the older books had been tossed in the move, but mine was found in the last ...

Thanks for the replies! What is the current edition of FTGU? I have the 28th.

And yeah...as much as I'd love to hear that sort of reply, I figured the reality was far from it.

Tell me that you have your PTR and logbook, both with all pages certified. Lie to me if necessary. Remember, this is aviation where paperwork matters more than anything else. YES! Guess I should have mentioned that. Went to my old flight school this past weekend and was incredibly relieved (and ext...

I started training for the PPL back in 2005 at age 16, slowly but steadily chugging away at it through to 2007. I did my cross country, my simulator training, my forced approach and landing training, my spin and stall recovery, ground school...pretty much everything with at LEAST 40 hours in the air...
