Re: Would you rather...

The way the industry is it doesn’t matter the type of time, time is time you’ll get hired regardless.... That's interesting. Because I'm not an instructor. I own a plane (Vans RV) and all my time is literally amateur. I talked to someone from Ornge as well as SkyCare (Navajo) and they didn't mind t...

Re: Would you rather...

To add to the points already made, assuming you have 500hrs you’re an instructor? If not then take what gives you the pic time to sign off your ATPL’s. I’ve seen a lot of 2000+ hour people who rushed to go to the airlines having to spend their allowances (because it’s not a salary with what we make)...

Re: Is it realistic to be a PT flight instructor

It really boils down to your work ethic. I’m a part time flight instructor and how I balanced my “9-5” was ask my company to work Monday to Thursday 8-6 to fulfill the “40hr” per week then instruct Friday Saturday Sunday. What “5x5” said is true you won’t have a social life or family life but it boi...

Re: Skylink express worth it?

Skylink hired a 400 hour pilot last month, the new hire had no commercial experience, bought a plane and flew around to 400 hours then got hired. I take they’re hurting for pilots. Interviewed with them pre covid, god what a mess. Told me they’d call me between 0800-1400, who gives a 6 hours window...

If you want a ...

Did some research on iATPL programme in Brampton Flight Center (BFM), it stated that " Successful students who have completed 250 hours of total flying, and have achieved a minimum cumulative score of 80% on the A...
