I wouldn't say it was BS they were feeding you. It was pretty much true until COVID hit..

How many layoff notices went out?

Here's a decent write up on the subject from one of the long gone members of this forum..

I would imagine you're going to have to travel fairly far from Brandon to get to a contest. Factor that into the cost. Probably the nearest competitions to you will be in Western Alberta. You could certainly practice competition aerobatics as well without having to actually go to a contest.

Thanks, I'll have a look at the website!

Thanks for the info Photofly.

Looking for a freelance instructor with their own plane that can come up to our airstrip in Northern Ontario (CMA2) to teach my son. He’s interested in doing is Rec licence for now. Any ideas or leads would be appreciated.

Heard from a friend first 60 Sky pilots being recalled June 1.

Zero yyz :S I would guess that no spots would be available in YYZ for the OTS since those spots should be for GGN pilots... No, not reserved for GGN pilots, the current big bid they are running through has major changes to the YYZ roster, big reductions on Q, being offset by returning RJs and Class...

Thanks for the information.

I’m looking at bringing in a partially completed project from the US to Ontario. I’ve already talked to the MD RA and they have no issues. My question is, would the project be subject to duty? Or to GST/HST?

Bid is out.

If this goes through Jazz needs to hire between 300-400 this year.

Does the FAA do random drug testing on foreign crews?

Over 8weeks. Still waiting.

Next ground school is early September.

Just confirmed no ground schools for July and August. Subject to change of course.

Hiring has slowed down significantly. Initially 400 new hires expected this year, now projecting 150.

Classes will be running every 2 weeks through the summer. You can count on the majority of positions being YUL base. Mostly Q and Dash with the occasional RJ position. Looking for 20 per class.
