Don't try and predict anything. This past summer I was called 1 week after my interview, to start PIT 2 weeks later. OTS. The girls in HR are very warm, welcoming and professional btw.

Very True. Also I’m sure your SWG pic time was music to their ears.

I’ve always said this would happen. It’s the next logical step for Canadian aviation. Most of the other countries you don’t have to “pay your dues” up North or work as a flight instructor. You simply finish your training and get on with an airline in a mentor ship role. Sit as a Second officer and ...

So what? Go get a diploma. How much easier do you need it to be? It's 126K This would only be logical if you went straight from high school Imagine paying for living expenses on top of this, if you don't have rich parents you can't afford this First pay 40K for a degree Than go pay 126K plus let's ...

Like the above poster said, almost any commute is possible. Make sure you add up the true total cost such as flights $500/month, crash pad $200-500/month, Uber/taxi/bus to crash pad $100/month. Mine comes to about $750/month. I did it partly because my base closed and I wanted to stay on my aircraft...

Every generation has seen a benefit that the previous generation hasn’t seen. This is the best time to be alive in all of history. Let’s talk about aviation. I feel like most people I talk to aren’t interested in being a pilot. One of the reasons is the very high barrier for entry with accumulating ...

Or you can ask me, I’ve bombed an AC interview already. It was supposed to be a 90% success rate. Right fellas? LOL...

In all seriousness, not the end of the world. You only loose if you don’t get back up again.

Spreading love to the above commenters. I log back into into avcan once a week and see some interesting comments. But after this reply I’m logging back off and going back to enjoying life. Aviation can have its ups and downs but I enjoyed it every step of the way from maintenance, to flight dispatch...

I agree. Super douche move blasting him about his PFO. Especially when it would be so much easier - and deserving - to blast him about those YouTube videos... that's some painful shit. You at least need to be a hot European girl or something if you're doing to that kind of thing. The psych eval see...

As for the regional career. My original post was asking who else on here decided to stay and for what reasons. I’m opening a dialogue that was missing on this forum. I'll bite and explain why I'm likely staying at a regional. For starters, I don't commute. I've done it and don't want to do it again...

.

Interesting points posted above. The other outright negative posts I’m ignoring. Wanna know why? Because I never act like my life is perfect. It took a lot of ups and downs to get to this point. If I have flaws and losses then you have them too. Super dickish’ of you guys to bring up a PFO and my li...

Wow some people really have problems, dont they? Here is an idea Capitaine:...

Wow you’re so perfect with no problems.

Most of these comments never added to the post. Just the usual avcanada bashing other users. (It’s easy to hide behind being anonymous). In any case, I never said regionals are better than manlike. Nor do I think mainline is better than regionals. What matters is the individual choices you make base...

There is no way your first priority in life is family or lifestyle. Your first youtube video was about how much money you made in one month, which was boosted as hell by the way. I think you are telling yourself staying is good, maybe you got a pfo and are debating not trying again and be junior to...

Im sure the “10 thousand and whatever” a month working “minimal overtime” should keep you happy... sir. You would have been doing over 100 credit to do that as a second year Captain. Don’t kid yourself Looking forward to your next video, please make it about why regionals are better than mainline c...

LOL

The only way to have ‘career’ is to also have job security.

Ask yourself if you truly have that (30-45 years) at any regional airline.

There is no real job security in my observation. Your airline could go bankrupt, you could be on layed off.

Just had a thought come up the other day of staying at the regionals for the rest of my career. I understand the main debate of going to a mainline gig would be higher earnings in the long run and flying bigger aircraft. But my priority in life is in the following order. 1) Family 2) Health 3) Pay M...

t the present time. 1000 hrs and 250 Multi is the minimum hiring TT according to HR.

If you are a part of the Jazz Pathways the minimum time doesn’t apply as you get in straight from college into any type of A/C.

Waiting 3-4 months is extremely long. Down south they tell you the news one week after the interview. My question is, why is no one following up with HR? If they tell you 6-8 to weeks and you haven’t heard at 10 weeks, I would shoot an email to see what the deal is no? Cdn I think most are afraid t...
