Re: Moving to Africa

Forget what the naysayers are saying Tail Timer.

Re: Air Canada Pool

No worries, I interviewed Feb 5th, 2013. There were three of us in that day, a guy from Evas, a nice gal from a Caravan operator overseas, and myself. I had similar experience to her, but I had about 500hrs extra Multi then she did, a mix of FO and PIC.

A gal that interviewed the sameday as myself had 2200TT with nothing but a Multi-IFR and a bunch of Overseas Caravan time....I wasn't to far off from that myself, but I was the only one offered a job 6 weeks later.

I was in Miami twice in the last couple weeks and noticed at the AAR hangar there were two 767s. I read they do heavy maintenance, mods and such. Any chance that is where they are doing the paint, seats for rouge?
