No plans for a Canadian "tour" as of yet. Last time I checked, Canucks were the second largest group of pilots here. Seems to be a large pool of applicants from Canada and everyone seems to know Emirates or someone who works/worked here. The big push is on in the US as of late because of the largely...

Hey, Not sure what the minumums are anymore (check the website) but I did work there for 8 years and can fill you in on what they're like as an employer! Great place actually. First off, the pay is alright for a Canadian airline and they tend to have some good benefits and a small "retirement" type ...

Well, as someone who is based out of YYZ it's nice to get a bit of background info from ATC every now and then. I think a lot of the pilots flying out of here sometimes wonder why in world things are done the way they are here at Pearson. It can truly be a head scratcher at times! Of course us "pilo...

Looking for Leblanc's address as he just put several hundred of my fellow pilots out of work and onto pogey and I have a case of rotten eggs and toilet paper that I don't know what to do with.....? This man should never be allowed to opperate another airline in any country ever again. Pathetic. Saw ...

I spent a short 6 months with them before jumping ship and leaving my 30 grand with "Mike The White" as they were by far the worst company i've evered flown for. The stress and embarasement wasn't worth my money. I just can't understand how nobody else who worked there saw this comming?? Nonetheless...

Well i'm in no way going to defend Jetsgo here as they definately don't deserve it from past experience.

However, the GTAA should have shut down the runway for an inspection. Period.

Just my 2 cents.

Well said...... For some reason or another (usually why I don't come on here often) everyon is out to put down their fellow aviator or more noticably lately, the company they work for. Last time I checked we were all trying to find a job or hold onto the one we already have....regardless of the comp...

My good friend is over there and was unemployed with no valid PPC for 2 years......not a requirement.

The sad truth (and state of the Canadian airline industry) is that the majority of people flying right now go on price alone. If they need to get from Toronto to Vancouver on a Monday; and company X is $20 cheaper than company Y......they'll choose Y. Plain and simple. It's a whole new class of pass...

Hmmm.......that's a hard one to believe don't you think? I'm no MD 83 expert here, but modern FMS systems and AT's make it near impossible to exceed the range of your High and Low speed buffet's. I do know for a fact that their Op's Spec's specify that of the two pilot's there will always be a minim...

Check the "press release" section of the website for all the latest destinations being added. I think the last one was L.A. 3 times a week from YYZ....

Usually there is only a few people allowed in the J.S. now: Transport Canada Inspectors Company Employees Pilots/Dispatchers On "FAM" flights It varies depending on which airline you fly for. Several companies are in negotiations to have the J.S. available for other airline employees free of charge,...

Are you in the group being interviewed the week of April 19th or is it at a later date?

Hmmmm.......and people think that Mr. Leblanc manages money poorly..??

Here's a couple: Hydroplaning Tire Speed (rotating)- 9x square root of tire PSI Hydroplaning Tire Speed (non rotating)- 7.7x square root of tire PSI Speed of sound- 39x square root of (temp + 273) Mach Number- TAS divided by speed of sound TAT calculation- 2x altitude minus 44 SAT calculation- 2x al...

Next group go through on April 19th in YVR for the B747-400 freighter. Not sure how many spots or how many being interviewed.

From what I gather, they'll be running a ground school once a month through December. Probably in the order of 10-12 people per course. First course was on M22, second on A12 and the third on A29. Probably not a career airline but a good place to stop in for a while and get some time under your belt...

Don't forget that the entire airline industry is still at pre Sept. 11th levels, so there seems to be room for some expansion. Another point is that Air Canada still hasn't got financing in place or a gazillion other problems solved, not to mention the fact that Jetsgo, Westjet and Canjet ALL have m...

Ok, one more thing before I get back into that big alluminum tube we call an office.... Someone came by our head office a while back and approached the receptionist with a nice large combination pizza. The delivery was of course for the DFO and he was allowed in to deliver it. (still not sure what t...

They're still interviewing right now. 10 people on the March 22nd ground school, another 10 on the April 10th ground school and they're now filling an April 29th ground school. US pilots in the right seat and the training area until the Canadian guys are PPC'd and can be upgraded as soon as possible...

Think of the future my friend..... 1. When airlines hire, the first thing they look for is if your current on the aircraft they fly. (saves training costs etc.) Needless to say, i'm sure you don't want to fly a 1900 for your entire career. 2. If that fails they'll want to see some good PIC time rath...
