Makes me wonder, is there any organization which works for the protection of pilots ? so for e.g. big f*ups from big corporations leading to accidents will most likely end up using pilots as a scapegoat.

Your example is too clearly a pilot error with what you've given. You don't mention what leads to the slip, and that is what would be the most important element. I should expect the possibility of a runway overrun or slipping on a rainy day, so I should already be taking precautions to limit the po...

Hola Fellas, This is a very basic question I guess everyone on the planet has and only a few know. What happens to a pilot and his career in case of a minor accident which is not his fault a 100%. Let me give you guys a specific example. So an amazing pilot with over 15k hours lands on an airport on...

Hi Did any of you above got any further with the application ?

If you have the monies, you can fly on the weekend. I am not a pilot, but from 200000 ft looks like a lot of work and at the age you are you may be looking at settling down and spending more time with family.

Probably one where you flight instruct from your hometown so you can live in your parent’s basement while getting paid almost nothing, then at 500-1000TT and ATPL exams written going to Jazz, then to Air Canada mainline a couple years later... and retiring as a widebody training captain at 65. Of c...

Lets see who is the fastest to reach the first 1000 hrs of flight time ?

This is just for fun !

Well I should have written more about my question. I am not just asking about the first job. I am asking what an ideal aviation career looks like Ideal for whom? There is no one perfect path. It all depends on what kind of flying you want to do, and you might even not know that yourself until you h...

The sooner you jump through the steps, the better in terms of seniority. If wide-body long-haul is your aspiration, get there as fast as you can. Snag some PIC time along the way, and/or go to a company that offers a PICUS program, so that you're upgradeable once in the 705 world. Early on, make su...

Then maybe you should give us more to work with than "IDEAL CAREER PATH". Path to what? Bush pilot? Career flight instructor? Long-haul widebody captain? The reality is that with 200 hours you can't really be picky with what your first job is, and it ultimately doesn't matter. Any job that gets you...

Looking for some real advice and not philosophical BS.

Hello Fellas,

Looking for guidance from our respected experienced pilots which would help the aspiring/beginner birds.

What is the ideal career path (with timelines) one should be looking at if they are just out of training.

Thank You !

I have similar question for Vancouver area, this is my first time doing medical exam, doctor did all the tests and sent my documents to TC, post that they arent telling me what to expect, when to expect. I am assuming I will get a letter by TC, is that correct ?

VFC even stopped their waitlist since it went crazy long.
