Re: Convert Canadian ATPL to FAA

Here’s a step by step guide from doing an ATP conversion this year.

PS: you can call the FAA office and switch FSDOs. No biggie.

Re: United, Delta or American?

Thx. That conversion summary was one of the best ones that I have seen. Straightforward. Step by step. My only question is if you already have US TSA file from previous US based sim training, must it be repeated? I would think not.. Thanks. You always have to apply for the TSA Clearance before init...

Re: United, Delta or American?

Amazing that you have the most important asset in the works ie the green card. For many others (like myself), it is a distant dream. Make full use of it and get out of this mess of a country. Perhaps you and many others leaving will also be the catalyst for our carriers to improve work conditions. W...

Re: Jobs as a dispatcher

My friend took a 1 week in-class course offered in Toronto. They’ve been running it for 20+ years and are connected to most of the airlines.

Good time to get into dispatch. Lots of vacancies at many Canadian airlines.

Re: Save Our Country & Our Industry

The Covid FACTS you need to know, nearly 2.7 million deaths in a year WITH various lockdowns and prevention methods in effect, if you can’t imagine a scenario where it could’ve been 2, 3 or 10 times worse had we done nothing, you’re nothing short of a complete fucking moron. Thanks for the respectf...

Re: Save Our Country & Our Industry

Again, that PDF flymore keeps pushing was written by a pilot. While this pilot is I’m sure a terrific pilot, he is not a scientist nor a journalist. He is a pilot. This document is not a scientific paper, it is an opinion piece written to express his point of view and as such it is a 64 page Avcana...

Re: Save Our Country & Our Industry

The WHO put out a prediction very early on as to what would likely occur. The numbers are far from being rosy. So, 10% of 5.46 Billion equals (roughly) 546,000,000 (546 Million) deaths by the end of 2020. How anyone could think that "letting things run their course" would be a good idea is fucking ...

Save Our Country & Our Industry

Our country is being run by a Drama Teacher (PM), A Journalist (Finance Minister) and a Graphic Designer (Health Minister). That should ring alarm bells. If not, here’s more: Our industry has not been given any sector specific aid, despite being strung along for a year now. The airlines are not fail...

Re: Narrowbody Preference: EMJ vs A320

All great advice guys. And thanks for getting the discussion back on track. I doubt anyone is coming to Air Canada to go to Emirates. 737 is restricted to candidates with previous jet time unfortunately. Also the YYZ base pilots will not be ETOPS qualified for now. The YUL base will be ETOPS qualifi...

Seems like the most recent groundschool are getting a lot of Mainline narrow body spots, specially the EMJ and A320. For those with experience on those, what are your thoughts? Which one would you pick as a new hire? Lifestyle Routes Schedule Go to Rouge with A320 (319) Upgrade Enjoyment of each pla...

Re: Rumor about %30 pay increase

4. What would you do if you were in Air Canada's place? Keep hiring from Jazz and basically shoot yourself in the foot?.... If they don't hire rapidly from Express, they'll quickly run out of applicants to the Express system. Need to have the actual carrot to dangle. What's the average experience g...

Re: Rumor about %30 pay increase

I can’t speak for what AC hiring protocols are but I do feel a lot of people underestimate how much preparation a major airline interview needs. It might be unfair to the good guys, but interview prep is a job by itself. You could be the best pilot in the world, but you still have to go through the ...

Re: Rumor about %30 pay increase

Perhaps I'm being optimistic too and perhaps a bit realistic. Let's put some things in perspective. And again, this is all speculation. 1. First of all, before we go all crazy on Encore being the new PML, keep in mind that those pilots applied in the last OTS Opening which was March 2016! Everyone h...

Re: Commuting/Transfering

Jumpseating / reciprocal agreements are not just limited to WJ and AC. But they do happen to be on the most common routes and more frequent than the other options. However, there are FREE jumpseat agreements with Porter, Air Transat, Sunwing and multiple other smaller airlines. Check your OAL (think...

Re: Captain requirements?

Let's agree to disagree on the whole "experience" magic skill set that all pilots must have. Nearly all airlines are facing lack of crews. They have to hire pilots with low experience. What is the alternative or a solution to this low upgrade time captain problem then? You can't shutdown half the in...

Re: Captain requirements?

It doesn't matter who the FO is and how experienced. If a 2000 hour college grad has worked hard and been successfully completed Jazz's qualification requirements, then he/she is competent and qualified for that position. Instead of prematurely judging someone based on their experience, give them th...

Re: Captain requirements?

Firstly, Jazz provides some of the best training around. Secondly, this conversation has been exhausted. Experience doesn't always mean better pilots, so it's unfair to judge someone just by their ATPL. Some of the new college grads are extremely sharp and their training was tailor made for an airli...
