Re: AirSprint - Updated Pilot Career Guide

I am curious about details on how a rotational schedule might work and how likely it is that someone new can actually get this type of schedule.

Dunk Course for Floatplane Pilots

Is it true that all pilots flying floats commercially have to have taken the underwater egress course starting this season. If so, are all the companies going to be able to get their pilots the proper training in time?

A look through the other new hire groups over the past umpteen years, the majority are white male anglophones. Very true, to say...
