They could ask 10 000 hours and 5000 hours jet time for this job: it's their right! It's a good gig, 6 months off per year, you'll never see this at AC feeders... Especially for somebody who don't want to live in a metropolis and need to commute! With a regional you end up 2-3 days home per month f...

+1, from what I gathered from the add it's a handshake if your already ppc'd, training agreement if you're not.

With the way the industry is moving atm someone would be insane to sign a 2 year bond. It's a sure fire way to throw away 9 grand when you get a call from the regionals after a year. No hiring going on, unemployment rate still going up, watch the news, hundreds of jobs being cut, I can't remember l...

In the real world of flying we do things differently, in actual fact flying IFR is about the easiest form of flying, VFR flight and keeping the ground in sight is the hardest, ask any bush pilot, So have fun with your Microsoft flight computer maybe someday all the time spent on it will be of value...

Just curious how some of the boys in western Canada are dealing with the uncertainty in the charter/corporate flying out there. What's the feeling for guys working at the Air Partners, Sunwests, Cariboos that are currently laying off employees on different A/C types but are still under bonds themsel...

Who in their right mind that has a job now, or even the possibility of a seasonal recall (pasco) would want to move to Saskatchewan.

Perfect, thanks for the info!

Does Porter allow commuting? If so do many pilots commute/common places where they commute from?

Thanks

Care to share any facts or figures besides one slanderous statement? Where do you receive your info?

Unrelated to the topic but, does Porter allow/do many pilots commute?

Was in Toronto this week and out for a stroll downtown. As I looked around the first thing that came to mind was good thing there are people fighting to keep that airport smaller and keep jets out. It would be a shame if I was distracted by a busier airport and miss seeing the piles of garbage, home...

Asked a friend who works there,"one is for sale because they've upgrade to an XLS and the rest of those ultras on there are part of the group he bought for resale, never flew out of YYC".

I've heard $60 000 for captain $35 000 for FO schedule is 8 days a month off but due to the type of work they will be fliud I sincerely hope this post is a joke intended to mock encore/jazz starting pay. I've heard of Skyservice paying 1st year jet fo's 60k on light to medium jets and 85k for large...

Tons of time required. If you're even asking about them you probably don't have nearly enough experience.

. The biggest thing to change in my mind is the experience of ppl getting on. I've heard first hand there's been 1000hr be20 fo's in recent classes. With the need for that many more and the pay offered in return maybe it'll get to the point they're hiring fresh 200hr guys regularly next. I still re...

Hi all, Just curious if anyone knows what happens if you wash out of training? Are you offered the opportunity to maybe step down to Flight Service, or VFR/etc or is that end of the line for you at NAVCANADA? . I hate it when people think that FSS or VFR is a step down from IFR. It's not! Not every...

Where was the ad? Was it well publicized and circulated? I know there was a discussion on here about it, but not everyone reads AvCanada. Also was it restricted to current 737 Captains? I have a hard time seeing someone with a full time 737 job being interested in a part time 737 job. Maybe a WJ or...

Isn't it in the CARS you may only do 3 consecutive 14 hour days, which must be followed by 24 consecutive hours of rest? (Sorry it's been a while)

Orca has the reputation of being on of the lowest paying companies out there. Along with Carson. Seems like they need people fast. I think Sunwest is loosing that bag run for sure. I think they use the Metro and/or the Navajo. Both of the types That Orca has. People from Sunwest could jump ship...b...

Perhaps taking over the Carson FedEx runs out of YYC???

No. The 1900d is an efis aircraft, but in no way is it close to being a glass cockpit aircraft.

Long upgrade times/shitty FO pay, not ideal base locations, metro's and to top it off money up front. Why would anyone want to go there?

Nickynick if youre infact not just trolling, perhaps the fact you mentioned 1900fo and only a 705 operation has something to do with it. Maybe that's also something you included in your cover letter? If so I suggest reviewing 704/705 regs.

Must not forget to bring your parents T4's and a list of family members that have empty spare bedrooms in both YYC and YYZ.
