... anywhere where the survival rate of metrosexuals is less than 10%.

I spilled my coffee. I have to deal with the particular profile on the daily basis.

If you are looking to fly anywhere in Canada... get out of the GTA. You need to get away from the center of the universe where everybody and their dog wants a flying job and go north... further north than Barrie. NWO, Northern Manitoba, Yellowknife... anywhere where the survival rate of metrosexuals is less than 10%.

And please PLEASE do not pay for a job at Skydive Toronto. Lots of operators will round bin your resume with that employer on it.

the question is who will give me a break? i don't mind sleeping in my car or in the office till i can afford my own place.i am more concerned about learning and teaching more about aviation

Yeah... I don't think you want to be a Transwestite. I know a few people who were cured from aviation completely by working there.


tuskegee0147, unfortunately I don't have an answer for you. I got my break by already working for the company that had hired me in another capacity. Counting school, this is my 15th year in aviation... and I am still working at an entry-level 703 company... so keep that in mind when you get impatient about how your career is progressing.

Networking, luck, and going where nobody else wants to go is what is going to set you apart from the hundreds, if not thousands of other low timers looking for the same seats in this grandiose game of musical chairs.

Look for companies that have a single engine piston aircraft that you can start building PIC time on. If they don't have a twin, your odds are more likely of getting a job since pilots jump ship after a season or two and lots don't bother applying. PIC is gold and you should look for that first rather than a twin cojo job... it will help a great deal down the road if you want to go into the turbine IFR world.

Actually going there is a big deal... we get hundreds of resumes a year.. but the only people who we hired (when we were looking... not this year so far) showed up ready to work. If all somebody is going to do is carpet bomb the inbox with resumes, they aren't worth the time unless there is something really spectacular on that resume.

You're going to get rejected. You are going to burn up gallons of gas, miles of road, and hundreds of dollars going on a road trip looking for work, but all it takes is one job offer to make it all worth while.

Werent you lamenting about the poor treatment of rampies/cojoes there previously?

You want a good shot, while being treated fairly? Go see the folk at Perimeter, or Borek, or arctic sunwest, Air tindi etc. That have established low time programs to get you on the ramp, make sure you're competent and then plunk you (a year or so later) into the right seat with competent crews and solid training!

You need to get away from the center of the universe where everybody and their dog wants a flying job
