Gents (etal), from a post Cathay point of view, lanyards did F*ck all, and our sh*t committee never managed to turn back the first offer. The only marginal success that was achieved came when we scared them. Seeing how much you all fight and bicker here, I reckon you're going down the CX path. Only ...

Flew it to decades at Perimeter for half that.

I love where the Canadian industry is going.

SOUTH....

I literally had my interview at the US embassy yesterday. If you look at my post history, you can see I have been on this for about a year now. I tried the Frontier route first, but they couldn't make visa work. Finally I know have it. (and a job on a wide body in US) But yeah.. I have 5 figure logg...

My buddy is getting 11K, but he's thousands of hours of time in that world. Professional bush guy.

5K these days is C206 wages. You can do better.

As a Canadian typed on B737 working overseas... Why on earth would I accept Sunwing's pay.
A B737Capt can earn 15-20K a month easy. No tax, US dollars.

If Canadian airlines don't act, it's over. We live in a global market.

Which websites/agencies would you recommend for a Canadian airline pilot looking for expat opportunities? I am desperate to leave Canada as I can no longer support my family on the wages here. Not trying to be a jerk, but if you can't support your family here, it's unlikely that you will be able to...

I left Canada at 3500hrs or so to be a Expat. I have earned multiples of the salary that could ever be earned in Canada. I am married to a non-Canadian, I have dined inside the pyramids in Giza, been 'married' in a ceremony in Angkor Wat Cambodia, lived from Europe to Middle East to Asia. It's been ...

Hello All, I was wondering if someone has any experience adding their foreign type ratings on a Canadian TC ATPL. What’s the process? What if you haven’t flown on type for more than 12 months? Etc Thanks I was told that only FAA type ratings can be converted in Canada. FALSE. I have entered type fr...

I just wrote it.. took :30 minutes. 90 % of it was HR Q's.. "If you're @ a party and don't know everyone are you: SHY 0 0 0 0 0 Confident (fill-in the circle ) The last bit were some weird shape things.. First few were ok, last 3-4 were almost incompressible.. I suspect the goal wasn't to figure it ...

I heard back from them today (I made it to round two as well) - They are going ahead with interviews shortly. It's all still happening.

Previously I was a Senior A320 Captain training 200Hr FO's on the Airbus. At 1500hrs they were much better than any Canadian FO's that had come up thru instructing/floats/703/704... Way too many bad habits to change. A rising tide lifts all boats. We need what happening to change this B*S Canadian n...

My process is on-going, but I may decline as I have another overseas offer on the table that keeps me in the left seat on the 320. We'll see. Re:Tax above. I've been overseas for 20 years, I've never paid a penny to Canada Rev Agency as a non-resident. You can keep a house and credit card, but you h...

Right now it's already evident most float/ 703 employers are struggling. I've never seen 120K jobs with minimal requirements of a CPL. Pasco/ Perimeter/ CMA are all in need but are finding almost enough guys, with constant attrition. If this USA thing becomes real, you're going to see AC and WJ acce...

I did mine in 04' as part of the B747 course I was on in MIA.. the only extra cost was the medical and the GLEIM (SP?) course for the written test. In my mid 40's now I can tell you it's paid off so many times. Short BBJ contracts, ferrying a N reg.. The FAA ATP is infinitely more valuable than Cana...

My buddy just got the nod. Fast process, no bullsh8t. He, of course had a FAA with a A320 rating. I'm down here already, but as a previous 320 Skipper like him, I have just thrown my name in. Brookfield took 12 hrs to get back to me, I'm hoping to be on the October course. There will a rush of folks...

Wasaya offering less than a Keewatin PC12 gig for a Captain; less than a 2 week in/ 2 week off King Air gig.

A lot of operators are going to not fill seats as others adapt.

Pasco is a great gig, but the money is a hold up.

I've worked for two carriers overseas that won't touch a Vietjet guy.
If his resume crossed my desk here in Canada he wouldn't get a second look either.

Paying 10K or more was the only way forward there. Paid PCs, paid medicals, pay everything.. laughable to a western person.

My wife and I have Seattle Numbers thru Tmobile 20 GB each, unlimited calling/text in US/Canada

$40 each. Thats it.

If you are using a Canadian carrier you are missing the boat.

Prior to finding my current (and ridiculously amazing job), I had contact with a number of corporate HR departments. The girls doing the HR work hired lawyers and engineers.. they generally had ZERO idea about aviation. One asked of my 12000+Hrs, (mostly in Airbus and Boeing) 'if much of it was 'mul...

Also, they are hiring as we all left.

Conditions of Service are no longer adequate. The Cathay you have in mind is gone.

try cycling thru the FBO for 6-7hrs of sleep and a shower.. Then live out of your car.

Honestly folks, this country is abounding with 6 figure jobs, and the lot of you are running to take a 35-40k job. It's complete nonsense.

There is a whole world out there.

I already had a FAA ATP but wanted to add types. I went thru process and got the verification letter showing my current ATP and types, but like you without a current Canadian medical despite it being stamped in my book. The guy in SEA didn't care. He only wanted to see my US FAA Medical. It was a no...
