Chances of landing a job?
Hey all,
Wondering what you think my chances of landing an entry level FO job are. I have 750 Total, 45 multi, 60 float, also have a Class 3 Instrcutor rating...
Iam currently in New Zealand but will be back in Canada in 2 weeks and will be instructing once I return.
I have sent out my CV to about 50 companies and have kept on there cases about work. Any other suggestions would be appreciated

Alot of companies have lowered their req's in recent months. Two that I know of went from 1500TT to 1200TT. i know that doesn't do you alot of good right now, but just so you know, requirements are getting more attainable for an entry level position. With your time I wouldn't think it would be too hard finding a job on a Navajo or a Caravan. You may have to move up North, but sometimes you have to go where the work is.

Sometimes I think it's a shame when I get feelin' better when I'm feelin no pain.

I think it's a great time to be looking for work. If you're looking at the airlines in the end... I'd push for Central Mountain Air, or their Eastern counterpart, Georgian... many go directly into Air Canada from there.
Best of luck!

I want to die like my grandfather did, peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming in terror like his passengers...

Will the 100 multi help? Sure to a point, but maybe not now...
400 is a tough number. You've broken out of being an absolute newb but you're still a newb... I'd go north - get on at a company with singles and twins. That 100 multi will help you get on the twin after you get some more time.

You've got the time for a f/o spot somewhere I'd think. I'd try northern operators or sask/manitoba/n.ontario now and alberta operators after summer if something doesn't come up.
No road/end of the road places are a good bet. Like LIR posted Wabusk looks like a decent option for a year or two get some PIC on the ho and some turbine time too... and at least there is a train out. I'd try Mackenzie Valley area too...
Or you could go work the ramp
