Have you had a look at Jazz? I'm not sure if you have to be bi-lingual or not. I know most of the F/A's I fly with certainly aren't. Of course they've all been here for 7-20 yrs so the requirements may have changed. Skyservice and Sunwing in Toronto may be something to look into. If your willing to move out west there is Harmony (HMY) in Vancouver, Canadian North in Calgary (may be based in Edmonton). What about Voyageur? They are running RJ's for HMY between Vancouver and Calgary. They also do alot of charter work with their Dash-8 and 7's. Those are just a few off the top of my head. Good luck!

If you don't mind leaving the country, carriers in Persian Gulf hire from all over. Gulf Air, Etihad, Qatar Airways, Kuwait Airways, Emirates. You don't need to speak Arabic.

There are all kinds of Canadian pilots flying over there. Not sure about biscuit shooters. Good luck.

I would rather stay in canada, and U.S area, as I have a 6 year old. But thank you very much for the reply!

you should try corporate as well, is sometimes a more relaxed schedule, chance to fly on nice airplanes, and don't think French is really needed.

Here's a directory of Canadian operators. Keep in mind not all corporate jobs need an FA so don't blanket them all. Good luck.

Sky Service hire FAs every fall for winter work. Sounds OK work all winter enjoy the summer off.

Your child would be a whole lot safer living in the Middle East than living in the states. The compounds are nice. Nanny's are cheap. Excellent quality of education. Great expat experience. We brought our two daughters to Bahrain when then were 8 and 10. It was great. Lots of Canadians there.
