Hi aviators,

Just looking and browsing the ads and came to Ornge and their first officer vacancies on the PC12.

Do they really hire low timers for the right seat and only bases up north?

Yeah the pay sucks but is it worth it being that initial first potential job.

Thanks again

If you mean low-time e.g. 250 or less the answer is no. Unless something has changed recently their Captains need ATPL and FOs need at least 500 hours but I think those are contractual requirements, could be outdated info.

I’m at approximately 600 hours, doesn’t hurt to try.

Definitely, they have hired at 500 in the past. If they are like everyone else, training right now is pretty restricted by simulator availability for all types of plans.

Are their PC12 bases only up North or have they added any in Southern Ontario?

Thanks again

Only fixed wing bases are YXL,YQT and YTS the bases are assigned on day 1 based on a seniority draw and subject to staffing requirements. In other words make peace with living in any one of those towns prior to applying.

Agreed! I guess for someone that has a family and obligations and far from these bases it’s not an option.
Oh well what can you do, thank you for your reply much appreciated.
