What kind of second officer time are you referring to? Flight engineer or cruise relief? I doubt either will matter. Just look at what the other two options are if you don't have multi-crew, multi-engine jet time! I'm referring to being a flight engineer. I don't have experience flying "Command Tur...

Sorry, no I didn't see the specific info, but you'll most likely come across post's by Qatar crew - and you can pm anyone there. Ok thanks....as a matter of fact I know a female pilot that works for them and I just emailed her. She's willing to help but admits that living in that part of the world ...

Guess you are refering to the fact that it's Airways and not Airlines......

Thanks Bizjets but that brought me to a thread on cabin crew wannabees. Did you see the info I was looking for there somewhere?

Anybody know if QATAR AIRLINES counts 2nd officer time? Their site says that for a First Officer position that you require: Minimum of 1,000 hours in one of the following categories: - Multi Crew, Multi Engine Jet Aircraft - Command Turbo-Prop above 20,000kg MTOW - High Performance Military Jets I'l...

However, the woman heading the HR department is doing a great job at making it a very putrid working environment where employees are rewarded by method of backstabbing amongst ALL Porter staff in a very tv reality Survivor-esq manner. . you can't make an allegation like that without at least an exa...

Thanks ILS26.....much appreciated. Hear that guys. Time to dust off those resumes. Seems like a good company to work for and probably the only one actually doing any hiring these days. Westjet hired over 100 guys this year...... That's great if you have 3 friends who work there and a note from GOD.

Thanks ILS26.....much appreciated.

Hear that guys. Time to dust off those resumes. Seems like a good company to work for and probably the only one actually doing any hiring these days.

Thanks Aileron.......do you know if there are plans for another ground school soon after that one? Also, do you know how many new hires in the Sept ground school?

Before this thread goes off on a limb, Ill ask again. Did a ground school get cancelled at Porter in the last few months?

Just heard that Porter has bought 4 more planes with the option to buy 6 more. Is it true that Porter cancelled the last class of ground school for new hire pilots....or just another aviation rumour.

Bought mine 2 months ago on Ebay for $100 brand spanking new. If you want to go to a pilot shop you will pay about $275.

My sides, they ache from laughing so hard. How could I have not come across this in aviation so far. My life is now complete and I can die a happy man aftering reading these. Seriously, why would you post this? It wasn't original 20 years ago, it definately isn't original now. Even if you got a "ti...

Most have probably seen this but thought someone might get a few chuckles from it. If anyone has anything else that's humorous and related to aviation, please post. After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet," which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The ...

Three words.....OIL....OIL.....OIL

I have made a ton of $$$$$ on CWPC. It's a Canadian oil sands play and will be double what it is now before the end of February. It's just over $4 right now. It doesn't get any safer then OIL. JMHO

I am so Glad for you maxS.. I would have done the same thing best of luck and enjoy flying the big jets.. Cheers Adam Thanks very much Adam I am always happy as well for anyone who realizes there dreams. I am a big believer in KARMA. Ever watch the show "MY NAME IS EARL". I know it sound funny but ...

It's OK Fly I am sick with a cold and was just following my stocks and reading the board all day yesterday so I read them all before they were pulled. All I know is that the poster "BEDE" had made a negative comment on the board about me,and later that night BEDE and I sent PM's to one another.It tu...

Yesterday I accepted the offer from the cargo company(he needed the answer from me yesterday)......today I get a letter in the mail from the railroad saying I've been laid off

Sometimes, you just seem to do everything right. I'm going out now to buy a lottary ticket.

Thanks ABC. You may be the smart one to stay with the tracks. I just had this image of myself when I'm 65, looking back and wondering....what if. It scared the hell out of me.

Good luck to you.

WOW....what happened to all the posts.......anyway thanks guys/girls. You have all been very helpful,no matter what your opinion. THE ANSWER: When I'm clipping along the tracks,I often think, one day my son or daughter will become a pilot of a large jet and tell me what it's all about..................

Isn't this thread about some guy wanting a pilot from San francisco?

oh man, this is NOT a tough decision! (JMO) If the position they offered was FO, not SO, THEN I'd say tough choice there. You'd fly more if you stuck to your engineer position, IMHO. And it isn't so bad either, 1/2 my family are/were railroaders. SO's don't fly, they sit in the back seat. Early in ...

Thanks to all that added comments. To fill the picture in a little more: I have no children,just one due in June. My fiance is a little stressed out,to say the least,at this decision. Neither of us slept very well last night. On the other hand,the cargo job will bring here closes to her very large f...

Good luck.

I want to be flying. I should mention however that I am turning 40 next month and this cargo company has no pention plan.

Within 24 hours,I have to make......as the title says. I have posted before saying that the last time I flew was 14 months ago as a medivac pilot (first officer) in a King Air A100. I was laid off and found a job with one of our fine Canadian Railways as a conductor. They pay me $60,000 yr to work 2...
