I have tried other headsets including ones with passive custom moulded ear pieces. None seemed to keep me happy and I begrudgingly kept switching back to my Lightspeed Zulu's which I had been using in turboprops for the last decade. I just didn't like the weight and hot spots for the long flights. I...

Why is Canada one of the only countries giving away ATPL conversions like they are samples at Costco?

I don't know that anyone has one yet. I stopped in at a pilot supply store recently to check them out. I was told that they were not expecting their first ones to arrive until the end of July or early August. I would also like some feedback. Seems like the best thing going right now and as a tool th...

If you received a type rating overseas, I believe it can be added to a Canadian license with just a little paperwork. This is how it used to be done anyway. That said, it is also dependent upon which country and regulator you first received the type rating from. Some countries don't conform close en...

To the OP, Australia's version of NAFTA with 'merika has a provision for labour mobility for pilots at the regional level. I believe it is only at the regional level though and moving up to a major requires sponsorship (not going to happen) or a full PR/Citizenship.

As much as it seems odd to us in North America, things like date of birth, photographs and a full report including height and weight are common in other parts of the world. Many companies ask this as a part of the application process.

They are not working on sponsoring Canadian Pilots. I contacted the company yesterday. They are working on it. They jumped the gun on posting the job ad. If you are interested in working there, I would suggest dropping them a line via email and being added to the list of potential applicants. This ...

I'm not aware of any regional paying one cent more than they were a couple of years ago. On top of that, you have companies like WestJet LOWERING pilot pay by starting Swoop. Abroad, it seems that salaries are going up. Australia, for example, has greatly increased pilot pay at the regional level. I...

Appreciate it, thanks. Where are you looking to find this, if you don't mind me asking. Might make some phone calls or emails. Couldn't send you a PM for some reason. Started looking into it myself. I stumbled across another opportunity in the meantime but I figured there must be an Encore or Jazz ...

Did they say anything about hours required? Is this only for DEC positions, or would they take FOs as well? I'm looking into this for a friend of mine. When I get the answer, I'll let you know. I think that they are getting desperate if they are paying for the visa application fees. I would guess t...

This isn't unique to China. Quick - name one Canadian company that went under and fully paid their employees their final pay? How about all those Sears employees with an underfunded pension - think they'll get their money? Even after going to court, employees would be lucky to get pennies on the dol...

My understanding is that they are offering permanent residency like we do here. Once your foot is in the door, you are free to apply for citizenship (Australia supports dual citizenship as long as you stay out of elected government positions), or continue to extend residency indefinitely, live where...

Yes, DEC's. Particularly looking for anyone with training, or checking backgrounds. If you were a sim instructor or a line indoc captain, you've got it made.

I have some information after speaking with someone about all of this. I've looked into it in great detail. Permanent visa application Hired to one of the regional carriers; QantasLink or Virgin Australia Regional. The $9000 Visa fee will be paid by one of the regional airlines - that's how desperat...
