Nope. I've got 5000 hrs. B1900 PIC time and they wouldn't hire me for right seat B1900. It's tough out there.

Re: 737 Cockpit Virtual Reality App

It looks like a joke but it's pretty impressive. Just make sure you get a good quality headset (with good reviews) if you go for it.

737 Cockpit Virtual Reality App

A 737 pilot I follow regularly on YouTube just came out with a virtual reality cockpit app for Google Cardboard. It puts you inside a 737NG simulator as he does emergency procedures with an ATPL student in Europe. If you have a google cardboard headset, I'd definitely recommend checking it out. I've...

Re: My plans for my career as a Airline Pilot - am I correct

Have you looked into Lufthansa's cadet program. I thing germanwings has one too. Worth considering/a shot if you want to go airlines.

Personality a Setback?

This is kind of a strange question to ask, but here goes. I've always been quite a bit different than other kids, so growing up in a small town I didn't really have any friends and kept to myself a lot. As a result, I've some pretty terrible social skills and am pretty awkward for somebody my age. I...

Re: University Degree Still Worth It?

Thanks again for the feedback. Looks like I'll be going for my license this fall/winter. I didn't realize the amount of courses available online; you can pretty much do first year of engineering through AthabascaU. ArmyGuy, sounds like you hit the jackpot.

Re: SpaceX successful landing!

I'm new here and it's nice to see some SpaceX fans!

Update - Last week they one-upped themselves after sending a payload to Geostationary Transfer Orbit and successfully landing the first stage on the barge.

Re: University Degree Still Worth It?

Thanks to all for the thoughtful feedback! I definitely enjoy school and think I would do pretty well. I applied for that reason and because of the many other opportunities a good university affords. What are some of the colleges that have partnerships with Jazz and Georgian? I know of Mount Royal a...

University Degree Still Worth It?

Hello, I'm just wondering what everyone thinks the value of a university degree is in this industry. I'm turning 26 this June and my end goal is to eventually fly for an airline. I've been accepted to UBC but I'm wondering if I'd be better off to just finish my CPL. I've got about another $30 000 to...
