Re: New Pilots

BTW I didn't say "I'll only work as a pilot" . No? Because that's what I get from this: "all a person like me looking for is a Job a flying Job...all I am looking for is a job related to what I trained for, what I have its certificate and college diploma ?" And this: "we pay a lot of money and hard...

Re: New Pilots

The reality is I am ready for any kind of jobs, but what I see. you give me a flying job and expect me to anything. I will shovel, unload cleanup the washroom anything, but don't tell me to do all of this and then after a year, you might consider me. The reality is the companies want me to work my ...

Re: New Pilots

You seem very entitled and it’s probably a big reason you won’t get a job. I hope you realize that almost every first job flying requires you to do more than just flying. If I was looking to hire you I wouldn’t have any confidence that you would crawl under the plane on some muddy sloppy parking sp...

Re: New Pilots

Sean, Just work hard getting your CV out there, get known by the companies and start getting to know people. Never burn bridges. I was very lucky in this industry. It's partly luck and hard work. It's also who you know!! That's what gave me my break, but I was a flight attendant for 4 years and bec...

Re: New Pilots

Can’t for the life of me figure out why nobody would hire you, maybe you made the mistake of letting your personality come out... my personality ? can you tell me how you know my personality when you throw my resume to garbage the second you find out I have 250 hours? what you see is not my persona...

Re: New Pilots

Back in the day I got a job flying a Caravan with only 1000 hours and I thought I had won the lottery. Now everyone thinks they’re entitled to fly a 705 jet with the same. Times have sure changed. yes, the time has changed, but companies don't want to understand that.Those, our foreign friends, and...

Re: New Pilots

Maybe you should ask your questions to the school that sold you the dream... Start a road trip handing your résumé. On paper your odds are very low but face to face who knows, someone may see potential Good luck in your search but leave entitlement attitude (if any) at the door [/quote Everyone tol...

Re: New Pilots

There is a shortage of EXPERIENCED pilots not freshly licensed ones. Offering to pay for training isn’t going to help your situation either If someone gives us a chance to fly we will be experienced pilots. Can you please tell me how I can get the experience? instructing ? working as rampy? what if...

Re: New Pilots

Yes I would say Canada has a pilot shortage. However companies are not giving a free ride to everyone. Air Canada is PFO'ing plenty of qualified pilots when apparently they are short hundreds on paper. Don't let the shortage fool you. Treat every interview as if 100 people are lined up behind you f...

Re: New Pilots

Sean, I’m having trouble deciding if your post is trying to illicit anger and are just trolling or do you honestly think a company would put a brand new pilot in the left seat of a King Air? I met a pilot recently who was under a 1000 hours and was left seat on a King Air which to me was concerning...

New Pilots

hi guys, I'm hearing a lot of people talking about how Canada needs pilots and some companies even grounding planes because of pilot shortages, however, it appears to me that companies HR and chief pilots still want pilots with a lot of hours. by now I did not get any call although I'm considering t...
