Industry Changing?

Lately I have been reading that the aviation industry is back on track and opening up new positions like no tommorow. I have also checked some of the job openings and there seem to be more positions open for lower time pilots. Am i just dreaming or is the industry starting to boom again? Also if I moved up north to ex. Tuktuyuktuk or however the hell you try to spell it. Are there many jobs open way up north in the territories or are they hard to find as well? Majority of pilots I've spoken with who are looking for work don't want to go way up north. As for me, when all my training is complete I don't give a rats bottom where the hell I go as long as i am in an aircraft building hours and I'm somewhat safe. Please post if you have answers or if you feel the same way!

I think that the industry has opened my like no tomorrow.
I know a few people, high and low timers that applied and went after certain jobs and they got them, myself included.

Yup the industry is in a boom, and lets hope it stays this way. As for moving up north, that is the best way to get a job quicker than say getting in line at Esso at any major airport. Unless you know someone and have some heavy contacts.

Where the roads end, the flying begins. Go where most won't.

Cheers.

It really is surprising at the # of people who don't want to go too far to start their aviation career.I don't know many of them off hand but I have met a few that's for sure.
As far as flying goes for low timers I personally think it still isn't that great at the moment for landing a flying job/Ramp position.Better than before yes but.
The office resume pile is a mile high and you cannot get a hold of a chief pilot at all.If you could,that would be their full time job I understand.The best way here in Canuck land is to hit road and shake hands with guys.Building up a network takes time and can help you get your start to a good job lead in time.
So anyway,all the best to the folks looking for their start!

Don't want to sidetrack this thread too much, but what is a low timer in the eyes of the average commuter operation? Is it someone with:
A. 200 hrs
B. under 1000 hrs
C. under 2000 hrs
D. little or no multi time, despite having a bunch of single time

My though would be anybody with less then 2000hrs and 500multi is low time fom a commuter operators perspective.
