I know a lot of people who did just that. Mostly ramp work, cargo duties, loadmaster, counter agent & flight attendant. Anywhere between 6 months and 2 years before flying job.

Facebook group 'Air Fecteau' has ton of pics & stories.

Not sure how Nolinor enters this. Any details?

Maybe start by going to

Then browse through arrivals & departures.
And note down all the types of aircraft & operators + designators & call signs.

And I'll be training at YUL in the terminal course, we're a very small group but everyone seems pretty awesome so far, can't wait to start.

Let us know how it goes once the course starts.
I just had to skip an offer for that particular course but i'm still in the pool for a year!
Good luck!

Just got an offer for an IFR terminal course starting on may 4th. Unfortunately I had to decline for financial reason (just bought a house & I need a bit of time to save some pesos). But don't worry, life's being real good to me these days so it's fine! I'm still in the pool until summer 2016 so I m...

I think that if you write it at a TC office you will have the results by the time you return from the restroom.

That's how it was a few years ago.

No news here. But i'm at work in the middle of nowhere with no cell coverage. I called my mailbox a few times but no joy. I wonder if they would leave a message or if they'd wait until I can answer (next tuesday, that is) Oh well, i'm excited for you guys and I'll keep you updated if i hear from them!

Congratulations!

-comme c'est un DEP, est-ce qu'il y a des de jeunes de 16-17 ans dans le programme? Oui, il y a du monde de tout age dans le DEP. Disons de 17 à 40 ans.

Alright, so supposing you and your organization stole one of the world's largest airliners full of people for some nefarious reason, how long would you have to hide it before using it for whatever you had in mind?

Park it for an 8 hours prone rest then fuego!

Nobody has ever broke that record but too many have tied it.......

Has anybody crashed on the shores of the Dead Sea in Jordan? If not, there can still be hopes of breaking that record.

If one goes to the south shore levi etc how much is a cab into the city? roughly? No clue about the price of a cab but I suggest you get on the ferry instead. It's 3.35$ one way for foot passenger, there won't be any traffic jam plus It'll lead you right in Old-Québec. And the view is 'not bad' htt...

I guess they aren't interested in getting any business from English speaking Canadians or Americans who can't read French. http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11111/111118857/3834668-2105581972-thats.jpg Try this link if you want the information in english: http://translate.google.com/tran...
