Been hearing rumours lately about TC getting rid of the 25 night XC pic requirements..? Which can be fulfilled with Co-Pilot Nighttime..?

whats the difference between a CANADA PASS vs Aircrew Pass?

are they essentially the same?

I absolutely disagree. If I was a 705 recruiter and had a resume of a 1900 FO vs 172 instructor, I’m definitely taking the 1900 FO with IFR, multi crew, multi-engine and operational experience.
No brainer!

Airspace, Airspace, Airspace!

so your saying, flying in a circle on a Cessna builds better time than a 1900 FO.....

How would a 1900 " add nothing of value to your logbook" when your a freshly minted CPL MIFR starting out and trying to better your IFR/ 704 operational expereince?

Flight college is not "go your own pace" like you would do privately. They are more rigorous and if you don't match up with the syllabus you can get the boot. Not to mention you do get a college diploma out of it and its WAY cheaper/faster. How's that working out for enrollees at Sault College? Not...

More recognized in the industry Recognized by whom? Also what qualifications does it confer that your pilot's license does not? By numerous airlines actually. If you refer to the hiring qualifications of AC for an example (because the OP said he eventually wanted to be there) states that an aviatio...

Get an aviation diploma specifically at confed. More recognized in the industry, faster, and is a way cheaper route.

Confederation College has recently partnered up with Jazz for their college partnership pathway program. Nonetheless all 3 programs will get you where you want to be. Cheers and goodluck! All relative in my opinion. Confederation is a 2 year program. Sault is 3. Seneca 4. Confederation you only get ...

FTGU is an excellent plan, also since you have been out of school for a while, reviewing advanced math and physics is also a great and important prep ! I too will be attending one of the subsidized flight colleges come September. Cheers and goodluck!

To my knowledge Westjet does not drive the club carts in Terminal 3 at Pearson, a contracted company does that. In terms of vouchers,the rule is if the flight is canceled due to a controllable situation such as a mechanical situation etc and (this does not include weather as it is uncontrollable ob...

Yes sir! super stoked to get started!

Did you ever think about flight college? flight training for flight colleges is subsidized in Ontario. Colleges such as: Seneca, Sault and Confed.

As a newbie to the aviation industry i got a curious question. Is it possible to get hired as a pilot for a main company like Air Canada with out an ATPL? If so, how would you get the liscense, through the company..? How would it work? Thanks.

Thanks kev. I talked to a recruiter last year and she told me the total number of years I must serve is 12. Then I came looking on here and I got different responses for total years serve. Curious question. Would you recommend the military option?

Nope, you can do them concurrently, they do not add on to each other.

Can you elaborate on that kev, thanks.
