how long till I make captain?
I will finish my college program next week and dad says my chances are pretty good at getting a job with him, but not on the Hong Kong route but maybe flying as a co-pilot on the Dash 7. I don't want to waste my time on the ramp go up north or leave BC. Does anyone know how I get a captains seat quicker or avoid the co-pilot gig all together?

WOW, you must have the experience to fly a Dash-7 since you are finishing your college program. There are always people in this industry that have Daddy's pull to get them a job, but please don't insult the rest of us that work HARD and put our time in on the ramp, or up north. It is not a WASTE OF MY TIME. I have done the ramp route and have been up north flying for a year and ya it sucks, but at least I have put in my time and worked up the ladder like everyone else.ACbound wrote:I will finish my college program next week and dad says my chances are pretty good at getting a job with him, but not on the Hong Kong route but maybe flying as a co-pilot on the Dash 7.

Wish you the best.

ACbound, you can tell you're an amateur fisherman. Your bait selection was all wrong and your presentation was terrible, especially for these overfished waters. Instead of tossing the muskie lure out there, try one of these next time:
It's a jerk bait, so I'm assuming you know how to use it. At least, it sounds like you're very familiar with jerking it.

Re: how long till I make captain?
I don't blame you, who wants to do things the hard way if they can avoid it. Sorry I can't answer your question, your Dad must my have some ideas how you can avoid Canadian Avaition's two great pitfalls to getting ahead...going north and flying as a co-pilot. When you find out, get back here with the answers cause were all dying to know.ACbound wrote:I will finish my college program next week and dad says my chances are pretty good at getting a job with him, but not on the Hong Kong route but maybe flying as a co-pilot on the Dash 7.

ACbound, I expect a better lure next time, the bait was a little stank even for us bottom feeders
