Thanks Herc Driver's,

Not interested in CEOTP myself but wondering about the airforce attrition. Must also be tough to go from left seat Tac Herc into the right seat of of an RJ or Emb. Understand the wanting to live in TO perhaps ........ or maybe I don't actually.

Does anyone have any idea what percentage of the 600 or so new hires at AC will be taken from the Airforce ? There are rumours that AC contacted the Airforce in regards to hiring, precipitating the opening of the CEOTP training plan which accepts pilot applicants without degrees. In other words, AC ...

Just a side note - I do not fly for Air Canada or for any airline for that matter. I know that nearly all hiring for municipal, provincial, and federal government is done through recomendations and internal references as is the hiring for a million other banks, marketing firms, government agencies a...

Wow - mention Seneca and peoples blood starts to boil eh ? First of all - as previously mentioned this post was to recruit alumni so why all the hostility ? Secondly, like myself and a lot of my class, I went to Seneca because at the time I couldn't afford to pay for all the flight training privatel...

Had to jump in here with a few !!! My first student was the worse smelling individual on earth (breath mainly). I would always taxi with the door open even in -20 weather to keep some fresh air circulating. He would always ask "Aren't you cold" ! Anyway, one day he asked me a question about the roll...

Tango- I'm good friends with the guy that does most of the multi flying at YKZ. You will be in very good hands !!! And TAL lets you rent the seminole solo following the issue of your rating. None of this 50 hour PIC BS.

As with any flight school - it depends on which instructor you fly with. Some are good some not so good. Good things - CFI is a great guy, busy airport so lots of good experiences in a controlled environment, TC on site, flight test examiners on site, no ferry. Bad points - older aircraft, Toronto p...

I think an important point has to be raised. In an industry with a surplus of pilots and surplus of resumes, an employer must use education as a qualifier. Surely they can't do a check ride for every potential candidate. In North America education is used partly to deterimine an individuals intellie...

Just heard at last - but of course I missed the call ! However - he said it was urgent that I called him no later than tomorrow morning so I'm hoping for the best. Nothing like leaving it to the last minute eh

I just talked to a retired airforce pilot. He says that the selection board can be a fairly drawn out event which can take more than a week. I applied in July last year so I just want to know one way or the other. Its been a long process. Hope we all here something tomorrow

Anyone still waiting to here that applied in Toronto ??? I was told I would here from someone last week and didn't. I was also told that all all pilot trainees for September had to be enrolled by April first.
