Think North Cariboo would entertain offers with less than 500TT, or would a low timer just piss em off. :?

If you do not try you will not find out. I would fire off a resume if I were you..

Good luck :wink:

At 500h, shouldn't that be von schneedleputz? :D

j/k...send in a resume. If you don't the only answer you'll get will be 'no.'

Your chances go up 50% as soon as your resume go,s in .They will not call if they don,t have it.And I will bet that you will get a call.Everyone in Alberta needs pilots.

Send the resume, you might get a Ramp or Grooming position. Plenty of those here. sadly its a pretty long wait for a seat. As I have said repeatedly on this forum, while NCA is a great company, its not the place to build a career if you are a low timer.

That being said I've trained a few very skilled and keen low timers on the 200 lately.

Cheers

Thanks for the input; I have heard that NCA is a good company. I am not too far away from 500 and have a decent chunk of multi, decent for a low timer that is 8) . Resume is in now (probably in the recycle bin now is what I should say :( ) but I will keep my fingers crossed and you never know, I just might get lucky :o .

Is NCA building a resume pool? or are they looking to get a few guys in short order?

Just a question: how long does it take for NCA HR to get back to pilots with, say, 3000 hours? all of it good time. A curiosity as I am now chatting with a pilot that applied to NCA and never heard back (was also told NOT to call) He and I both know of 3 pilots with good time who have not heard boo from NCA - 2 have taken other jobs. Any insight? Curiosity, really in this pilot shortage time of the industry - why a company wouldn't call qualified current pilots that they need (or seem to need)
Not being grouchy, just an honest inquiry. Cheers.

There's a lot of that non-communication going on with lots of companies. I suspect there's not really a shortage, just a lot of movement between companies. I have a friend with 10,000 hours, a good safety record and very few replies - what's with that? Too expensive for Mickey Mouse companies?

Couldn't tell you, sounds quite strange to me, I'd call regardless talk to the Assistant CP. Resume could have just been lost in the chaos that is charter ops in Calgary. We seem to be pretty stocked up not on the 200-1900 at least.

Cheers
