It's definitely a one fits all kind of industry. I remember flying with a captain up north that was a big shot lawyer from Toronto dealing with corporate litigation and acquisitions and had spent 1 year on the ramp. Unlike other industries that credit you for past experiences relevant or not, I'd sa...

Good way to find your organization 'unionized'.

.

Transport in our last audit cited us for upgrading our GPS to include more functions without snagging anything in the log book. This is our second offence, so next time it will be a fine. I love that their cracking down on companies trying to improve their aircraft and make their operation safer. W...

Is that all the info you're going to give us? And BTW there is nothing wrong with a 300hr pilot flying a Navajo as a captain in the mountain. I know of a few guys back in the day who did that as their first job, they are all flying heavies overseas now making a great living. It just seems wrong beca...

oh crap I was just reading about Jazz hiring college grads... Ive been away for a long time. Yea so looks like there was enough talk about Jazz.

Ah well, back to watching videos of Paris Hilton crying like a bit*h!

I dont know. You guys may be right. But I doubt anyone can afford to live in Toronto comftably out of school with $18,000/yr. I think 23000GBP is pretty good being out with a nice crisp CPL... even better if you're still living with mom and dad

I'm making a point. Everyone is crying about ppl not screwing other ppl in this industry by getting a type rating or PPC when infact they are doing the same thing by accepting crap wages. 23000GDP is $45,000+ to fly right seat on a Dash 8-400Q. I dont think thats poverty wage. How many of you made t...

If you are living in London for sure but most of these guys are in smaller places like Southampton and Birmingham. Living in Toronto or even Vancouver is way more expensive even if you're in the surrounding suburbs I got them off of Airline Central. And these were the basic salary. FlyBe's I got off...

Was talking to a guy presently flying a Dash 8 for flybe for the last 3 years making some good money, especially since he graduated from aviation college and got hired onto the Dash 8 immediately. Went to check out and compare Flybe's salary scale to Jazz's. These are all base salaries BTW, Flybe's ...

I was wondering if anyone here flies Medevac, how they enjoy the job and how hard is it on your personal life? Thanks.

Same boat as you. Toronto airways will train you, but they dont guarantee hiring you. Seems not too many FTUs are doing much charters. The one on the island I dont think gets too many charters either. Many Peninsulair or Guelph?

thats bbb, any idea if for the reason for change? is it temporary or new preferred routing? CYKF is really starting to become a busy airport they should start publishing some routings in the CFS for the airport

CYKF DIRECT AYLMER (YQO VOR) HADAR2 Arrival

Flying back to CYKF from CYQG its CYQG Direct VLADI Direct CYKF

Thats what you want to plan if you're doing your IFR ride

Dont give him $5k for a PPC, go to your nearest flight school and pay $8k for an instructor rating, either way you look at it, you gotta pay for your job if you're low time. Funny thing is, the flight school you do your instructor rating doesnt guarantee hiring you either, and good luck finding a jo...

With the amount of Legs these regional jets fly, its not a surprised they are going to have many maintenenace issues.

Stringbender, by far the best post on this forum

Like Saudia Arabia? i can see the lineup of pilots

How do you know? Maybe he has dual citizenship...

very sad, hope all injured have a speedy recovery. From what i understand the gunmen is the only one killed, but many seriously injured.
