Well can we all agree on the following two points?
1) Perimeter makes too many calls.
2) NAC makes way too little.

A degree is worth getting for sure...definitely worth the time/cash investment. I don't know about that particular degree though...also, Empire is an expensive school to learn at. Many other cheaper places out there that will be able to get you finished quicker. Of course, this is my opinion, and ot...

What sort of medical benefits do you get at Jazz?

Doc is right. Just go and talk to the students, instructors, and CFI. You'll know after 10 minutes whether its a good school. A couple things to keep in mind: 1) Like Doc said, its best to learn to fly at a small airport, financially speaking. 2) When you get into your commercial training and time b...

What are PGIs? Cheers, ETTW Preparatory Ground Instruction Something that each instructor candidate should complete on their own. From TC's site: Classroom-type instruction, generally on a one-to-one basis but not excluding group instruction, that is based on lesson plans contained in or developed ...

Yellowknife? Thompson? You've got to be kidding me! :roll: If you think that you are getting a rough deal by having to move from Mum and Dad's to one of those places, give your head a shake....How about Pickle, or Armstrong, Ignace, Buffalo Narrows, Gillam etc... Yellowknife, indeed! :lol: Never he...

All this talk about Jazz being ghetto got me thinking. What place truly is the ghetto of Canadian Aviation?

*The* Ghetto of Canadian Aviation is not Jazz.

That title goes to Saskatoon and Thunder Bay. It's a tie.

Thanks for the reply. I understand preferential routing, but didn't think that was the case. I guess it must just be a coincidence after all.

I've noticed recently (and perhaps this has happened for a long time) that some flights quite clearly take IFR routes that avoid USA airspace. For example, take a look at http://flightaware.com/live/flight/WJA720 Obviously there is a more direct route than the one taken, as is the case in many other...

And what have they/he/she done?

I've seen a few posts about "some school" in London recently.
Who are these people?

Recently, I've heard of a couple flight schools teaching their students to always do landings with minimal flap settings (either 10 degrees, or none at all ) Is this more common than I realize? What is the reasoning?

Do they have an ac in MB as well?

Thanks.
Sounds fun.

Who the heck is flying DC3s out of Oshawa, and where do they go?

I would recommend you stay away from anywhere that won't respond to your emails. Also, when evaluating costs, don't focus on the final grand total given on each individual school's website. The costs will be based on different numbers at each school. For example, some may base the costs on 50 hours ...

My favourite part is: "A trio of airlines, including Air Canada, participated in a job fair for pilots Wednesday night in St. Andrews and they were hoping to pick up as many new recruits as possible." Air Canada was at Harv's hoping to pick up as many new recruits as possible? Or Harv's had Air Cana...

I know the old saying "Go north, young man" has typically been the advise given to new graduates in the past, and a lot of young guys have gone up north to start their career, however... everytime I'm up north and see typical bush operations, most of the pilots seem to be older, rather than looking ...

My advice is to not get too cozy with the Garmin 1000s and the shiny new Diamond twins, as you'll be in for quite the shock during the first 5-10 years of your career.

Otherwise, work hard and have fun!

Oh, and how long to study for them will depend mostly on your background in aviation/flying.

Use the Aerocourse ATPL Study Guide...do the questions until you consistently do well on them, and you will pass.

I've already spent 15 months on a ramp and like several others it did not lead to the aircraft Well don't risk having it happen again! I guarantee you can find something with 900tt...I know of several people with less than half that time getting right seat on twins in the past month alone. Good luc...

Thanks.
Anyone have F/O pay info?

Also, how long for upgrade to Captain on the 208, and then fo on the 1900?

I've searched the forums, but can't find a consistent number.
What does GGN start people at on the 'Van? F/O and Capt.

Thanks!
