When I went to MRC I didn't have high school finished, but I went to the adult education school, and did the pre-requisite 5 grade 12 courses they required at the time. Talk to their admissions department. Back then you required Math, English, Social studies (basically history), Physics, and one oth...

I was told the same thing by both SATC and CFC at Springbank - that the waitlist to start PPL instruction was a minimum of 6 months. I had no idea. I had been up for a "discvoery flight" in February, and thought that I'd be pretty much able to start logging hours as long as I was available when the...

You guys are way off. It's going to be AC Jive.

“It’s the worst experience of my entire life,” one woman told CTV Toronto. Of your entire life? How is it that people that are gifted such luxurious trouble free lives and are so put out by a delayed/cancelled flight always end up with the cheapest holiday package available? Did Sunwing tatoo the i...

But what's the point, when Georgian is the only way to AC?

Are you getting that GGN ad on every single post too? It feels like subliminal advertising. Like if I read it enough times I might actually start to believe it...

Honestly why an Airbus company ever got Boeings in the first place is more of a weird one than the question of why are they going to an all Airbus fleet. To me this is a smart decision, but what do I know?

To North Shore you listen. Smart is he.

Not trying to bore you with searches I did, but god dammit there is some great advice here that gets lost in the shuffle. Best advice is search Just Curious posts on job hunt, road trip, job search, etc. He was a long time contributor here who sadly perished in a Twin Otter in Antarctica 5 years ago...

In this day and age of instant gratification and high-speed technology, it's the 9 X 12 manila envelope with a hand written address, addressed to the owner/chief pilot with his/her name spelled correctly that's going to stand out in the pile. Many moons ago, I targeted the two dozen float operators...

Re: Whats the best way to hand in a resume? #15 Post by just curious » Fri Apr 06, 2012 10:13 pm Pick a company. Using the correct spelling of both the company name and the CP's name, send a resume via email with a cover letter tailored to that company, and your Resume. See the sticky above regardi...

My guess is that you won't find many people here who've ever laid eyes on the DAH. All the different airspace classifications make reference to it but that's as far as most of us would ever look. Looking at the IFR chart for the area can be an easier read because all green areas are class G below 18...

... With regard to needing to cover your own airfare, I stand to be corrected, but most operators that I know of that offer airfare to the interview do so only on their own metal (or, for AC Express, AC’s). ... They are hiring for Westjet Link for a job in Calgary that you have to interview for in ...

I find it somewhat alarming that a door can be unlocked and not give a cockpit indication.

It would be nice is pilot and non pilot jobs had their own sub forums like the old Avcanada did.

Also the lavs are getting smaller and smaller. I don’t know how anyone above average in size even fits in there. The location of them at the very back of the galley also must be annoying for the FAs. I haven't been on one yet but I heard the FA's seat is inside the door swing of the lav, so basical...

They said all they can handle for training is 4 pilots every 6 weeks for the Saab. So that's their plan for the foreseeable future. 2 captains, 2 FO's every 6 weeks. Hard to believe they'll be able to meet attrition rates never mind start up a 5 destination service in another province at that rate.

I did their interview. It took me the better part of a year to get it through repeated phone calls, emails, and one inside contact who sent a text on my behalf. Lots of persistence as they seem totally unsure of what's going on. I never talked to the same HR/ pilot person twice, but everybody was ni...

Thanks for that. Admittedly I have experience on all 3 but am far from an expert. I worked for a company with the Navcan/ Foreflight EFB and I loved it. Weird at first, but great once you get used to it. I never go anywhere without FltPlan Go as a last resort. thanks for pointing that feature out to...

As for Foreflight it's really the best thing since sliced bread. Far better than Flt plan, or Jepp. It has a feature called "Plates on Map" that's the cat's meow for situational awareness in the TCA and while manoeuvring for an IAP. Is that different from the way FltPlan Go and Garmin can display a...

Every man women and child should have Fltplan Go on their phone as a backup in case all else fails. Its good for plates but the enroute portion kind of sucks or I cant figure out how to use it in Canada. It works with your phone in aeroplane mode as well which uses a lot less battery. As for Forefli...

It says they started with aeroplanes with 2 motors, in a 5000 square foot hangar, and now they're big and awesome, and have an 88 000 square foot hangar. They used to be called something different and changed their name. What more do you want to know?

To me the real question is; did the 80% express number change? Or might we see AC hire 500 WJ pilots now?

It sounds like they are moving it toward what it should have been in the first place. Hopefully the next round goes smoother for people who are applying for the first time.

It sounds like they are moving the goal post...again.

I like your optimism.

Did I read that right? $55/h as a 1st year captain?

Well said.
