Well, "Flygal", I was probably flying turbines while your mommy was changing your diapers.Flygal wrote:+1 for Perimeter. Best pay in any department compared to all the other starter companies. So you will not live in squalid poverty while you're waiting to fly, plus YWG isn't that bad. Once you're on line, it's pretty nice too. Full benefits package, OK starting pay, Pilots Association, proper maint., fair management, good pilots and a overall positive environment. They have multiple jump seat agreements so you will be able to travel when you're not working one of your 16 days a month. There is a reason why they don't bond their metro and 99 pilots, it's an awesome gig. HR department has STACKS of resumes from CPL wonders trying to get their foot in the door. I'm a success story; no pain, no gain.
Kiv and Keewatin have a hiring pool too. Smaller companies though mean less movement. But I've heard good stories out of them too!
We all know about your views on working the ground with a CPL, but whining on avcanada won't get you any closer to a turbine. If you had got up off your ass you probably would be a captain somewhere by now. Just because mom and dad bought you a CPL doesn't mean you're entitled to a job. Lawyers have to article! Business people have to fetch Starbucks for the boss! Unless you're in the group of less than 1% of pilots who luck out with a job, you're going to have to get dirty. I mean no offence to you. I was once in your mind frame too. I then just accepted my fate to throw baggage one day and it all worked out. I had fun too.Brown Bear wrote:Only a two year wait? Gee, things are REALLY looking up! The world ends in 2012......maybe some day you will all get to exercise the privileges printed on your "pilot" licence.....maybe NOT!
Show me a lawyer that has to load the bosses car for 2-3 years.
Big difference between "fetching Starbucks" for the boss, and kissing ass on a ramp, with a carrot dangled in front of your nose. Huge!
Glad you had fun chucking bags. Doesn't make it right though.
frankfrank...."owned"? Yah, whatever. In your dreams.
Fact remains.....this is the ONLY industry where employees PAY directly for their jobs. Where else are employees treated as "slave" labour for companies to cheap to hire "normal" labour?
