Nothing has changed. Just vacancies. Apparently they picked up ALL of Courtesy's flying now. You'll be making more than Georgian, the routes are decent, lots of flight time (800 hours-ish a year), lots of gravel ops (be nice to the props). IIRC still lots of high time F/O's there. Pay is valid on pilotpay.

Listen to the guys with experience, and don't be a (as the brits say) bellend. Too much of that bull happened on the last bunch of direct entry caps, with some exceptions, they got demoted to F/O. Lots of random charters here and there once dispatch and charter sales gets to know you.

Have fun.

If you can, go drop by in person and talk to Alan Jones, The 703/704 CP. I dropped in there unannounced when I was passing through Saskatoon and he took the time to sit down and talk. I didn't have the experience they required but all in all a nice guy and was happy to set a few minutes aside to chat.
