I'd heard rumors of that happening but never believed it. It could only be done in a Porter I bet.

Who said "Cool Beans" You must be a skydiver.

According to my neighbours cousin you pretty much have to come in as an F/O. Direct entry requires 3000 total and 500 on type. All that will be changing once the merge with Jazz is complete.
All Jazz new hires will start on the Caravan.

I think this debate pretty much boils down to this. You log actual IMC time until you meet ATPL mins. After that you don't log any IFR/IMC. If you do, you're just a big loser who will never find a job anyways so it's a moot point.

I heard from my neighbours cousin that Georgian has leased 7 more 1900's and is opening 2 new bases, 1 in Dorval and one in Winnipeg. Tons more AC flying including stops in Boston and Richmond.
Minimums will probably drop since all of the 2000hr guys out there are already working at Jazz and AC.

As far as the IFR time goes, I only would log actual IMC. If you always fly IFR, and it's too much to keep track of just log 5% of your total as instrument.

Put what is relevant to the job. Air Canada doesn't care about tailwheel time and a skydiving place doesn't care about night x-country.

Also, I realized that if youre entering this stuff in the log book you're still paying for maintenance as well as insurance, hangaring and payments. A luscombe or similar burns less the 5gal an hour. If you use mogas and get the road tax back you would only be saving 10-15 dollars an hour. Hardly wo...

Logging taxi time is perfectly acceptable. I believe it's in the CAR's, once the aircraft is moving under its own power with the intention of flight. As far as just logging time falsely, most people on this board are going to strongly disagree with that including myself. The truth of the matter is t...

Your'e right, no PIC requirement. Just your Multi IFR flight test in a beat up Seminole will qualify you. The 1900 is pretty quick compared to that obviously, these guys are probably still on the ground as the plane goes through FL190. Rumor is there firing a lot of guys, especially the ones that co...

You need 500hrs on type to go left seat.

I averaged 150hrs a year for two years. Of course I had to have a full time job to pay for the plane which meant a lot of CAVOK days the plane sat in the hangar. In hindsight I would have had a partner to split the costs.

I owned a plane for time building. In the end it cost about the same as renting. The #1 advantage is flying when you want, you will fly a lot more. It's nice to be able to take the plane on a 3 day vacation and not have to worry if you only put 4 hours on it. You will also learn more by not having a...

Brampton meets or exceeds every negative stereotype for suburban hell.
Look elsewhere.

Try Guelph or Cambridge if you won't be commuting everyday.

I think the end is near for all of us.
The future is looking bright for the "pilots" of RC airplanes though.

Remember, it's a new owner this year so who knows what it will be. Word on the street is he's a real stickler and the interview actually involves cognitive testing, a Sim Eval (done in the back room on Microsoft Flight Simulator 98 and a Pentium 2) and a medical test (I think the medical involves wa...

I think you guys are overreacting a little. It's certainly not aviation related if youv'e seen one of these before.
It's not much more advanced or different than jumping a bicycle off of a ramp into a lake and flapping your arms.

I'm curious to know if Air Canada would be sued if there new hires only consisted of 4% females.
It would make sense to hire that few since that is the number of ATPL holders.
Does anybody know if AC has an unrealistic quota to fill. ie. 25% females.

I think they will be flooded with applicants. There are still a ton of guys out there with 3000hrs, lots of multi turbine PIC and type ratings that haven't been called by Jazz or AC.

Daily visits are perfectly acceptable as long as you bring coffee and donuts.
It's all tax deductable, so keep your receipts.

What Plane?

I heard they were laying off!

Has anybody had any luck making there Resume on workopolis look good. I upload mine in RTF format and it gets all twisted around with crazy fonts and margins. I just did a new one which is very bare bones as far as style and font type goes. It works, but looks pretty boring. Does Jazz hire guys with...

Did anyone else notice that they were wearing Canada Goose parkas. They used the Canada goose logo on the camp flag, door, and dog sled cover but changed the wording to United States something.

Definately a good movie. Moon Bloodgood was nice to look at. (She was the female pilot)

I just go direct to whatever works. If the VOR or NDB sets you up for a nice final to the runway in use, I go there. If it doesn't and the weather is VFR I go direct the airport and adjust course when visual to set up for the runway in use. I think when you get this clearance the controller doesn't ...

I don't quite understand the line:

"The most you can deduct for meal expenses is %50 of your claim."

What is it $15 or $7.50?

Georgian starts at $28500 plus another few thousand in per diems.

Upgrades happen in about a year. then your pay is pretty good.

Doesn't sound like a bad deal to me.
