Things are getting worse everyday for everyone in aviation. With projections now saying a full recovery might now happen for several years and this could end up being 5 times more detrimental than 9/11. Do you think WestJet will make it. I assume the government will ensure Air Canada will survive.

Cool. Will do. Thanks

Got an upcoming interview with West Jet in Calgary. Anyone go through the process recently willing to share?

Thanks

Any recommendation for a medical examiner in the Ottawa area? Pilot friendly would be great. Thanks

Skypirate. PM sent again. Hopefully it goes through this time. Snowcone thanks for the message good to hear AC is pro military friendly. Hopefully they are pro US military friendly. I served with a few Canadians when I was overseas it was fun to interact with them. US military are having problems ha...

Skypirate PM sent.

I will not be subject to double taxation if I work in Canada.

Thanks islandguy. Would you recommend staying at my current regional until I get some PIC time then applying to AC or should I make the transition now to a Canadian regional. I read info on AC and it seems like they're getting most of their pilots from their wholly owned regionals.

I'll do more research into airline pay in Canada but just browsing Airlinepilotcentral it seems Air Canada pays more than enough. I don't have an expensive lifestyle and don't need 300k a year to live comfortably. As for my background the only black marks I have is a speeding ticket 4 years ago and ...

Commuting from Canada to US will be difficult because they do not allow jumpseat for international flights. U have to ride in the cabin and that can be difficult sometimes with a lot of oversold flights. If I was flying for Delta it would be worth the hassle but not at a regional. Plus Air Canada pa...

I'm currently flying for a regional in the US but I'm looking to apply for a job in Canada. I was wondering if Canadian Airlines will want to get my PRIA records from the FAA/ US carriers? Does Canada have a similar system as PRIA (pilot record improvement act)? PRIA in a nutshell is a report on eve...

Thanks for the information Stinky. This really makes my commute a lot easier.

Thanks Stinky. Were you flying for a Canadian Airline when this happened? Do the recipricol jump seat agreement apply between US and Canadian airlines as well? I know a lot of United and American Airline fly into Canadian cities but it would be nice to hop on an Air Canada or West Jet flight into NY...

Thanks Hawker Driver. I'll try and find a phone number. I actually haven't started work yet but just trying to figure out what Im in for commuting from YOW. This will be my first airline job (was a helicopter pilot in the army) before I made the switch over. Looking forward to starting but trying to...

I'm in the process of doing the same thing as GTF moving from the US to Canada and commuting back into the US to fly for a US carrier. My wife lives in Ottawa and I have a choice between crew bases out of Chicago, Philadelphia, Newark, and Washington DC. I'm trying to figure out the specifics of com...
