I got my EB-2 approval in the beginning of the month.
The endless wait now for the green card.

Does the EB2 give you the legal rights to work in the US while you wait for the green card?
Are you applying to companies there while you do all your licence conversions?
Cheers

Sad news - a very nice man

Some quality answers here - kudos

Very interesting reading - thanks for all that JHR.

I forget the numbers but I remember laughing

You would think with their recent purchase by "the Borg" that they would get rid of their ridiculous bond and actually offer a decent salary but no.

"The airline currently owes 777 Partners $140 million, most of which is at an 18% interest rate." https://biv-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/biv.com/article/2021/07/lawsuit-week-shareholder-takes-aim-airlines-expansion-plan?amp=&_gsa=1&_js_v=a6&usqp=mq331AQIKAGwASCAAgM%3D#amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&ao...

I love your stories NW!
Cheers to you - even if people don't pipe up it is still cool to hear about your friend and your experiences... may he rest in peace

Ah, I see. Interesting. So would you say it's based on personal insecurities about relative experience, or perceptions about potential attitudes that might be brought into the flight department? I would imagine there are significant differences in how corporate versus airlines operate and what is e...

Thank you everyone for your words.
This industry still has a long way to go to get to respectability.

..and yet the companies will end up paying far more to hire and train new pilots when people get sick and tired and leave.
Plus ca change....

Wow thanks digits. Guess that explains the high turnover.

Any more recent comments from those flying med in Manitoba? Judging from the number of ads looking for pilots it seems like a high turnover gig - surprising to me seeing as someone with experience could come in at $100K and 2 weeks in 2 out with flights paid for. TIA

Thanks guys

Yes, in Canada - I should have said PPC.
Any idea where it says 30 months?
Cheers

A type rating expired over 6 years ago and needs to be renewed.
Is it a full initial course or is it a renewal?
TIA

I haven't had a good laugh like this since the last time Henri dropped by!

I wonder if they are trying to get a pool of good candidates together now for interviews later on closer to the spring... Good luck with that in this job market. Might as well wait till the spring, because they'll have to restart anyways if that's the plan :P I was thinking the same - why "hire" wh...

Yes I agree completely North Shore.
A few years back they were adamant that people have a bunch of tail wheel and float time but I'm not sure if that is still the case.

Third job ad I've seen from them this fall plus one for a Chief Pilot.
Are they really having a hard time finding people?
Anyone applied and heard back?

Very cool - good on them!

I believe the Citations are based in YVR. I was offered dec there some years back - it was 70k at the time. Not sure if that has changed. Your info on YLW is correct but it is just 350s. The really ridiculous thing about that place is the bond - it is structured so that you are on the hook for initi...
