Re: RAIC Exam Question

Its snarling remarks like you and your buddies that give Avcanada its negative and cynical connotation to which people simply role their eyes in embarrassment at the very mention of this forum.

Nationwide Pilot Union - Is it Possible??

Was talking to my sister, and she told me she makes 60k a year and teaches grade 1! That plus a full pension. Thats 25K more than me and I fly airplanes with passengers. It is not the individual airline companies fault. Their variable costs are reflective of their pricing which must be competitive w...

RAIC Exam Question

Hey y'all

I'm about to take my RAIC exam in Montreal. It is 30 questions and you need a 70% to pass.

Anyone with the questions and answers?

Thanks!

No different than any other FO salary anywhere else. Its not generally a position that will make you rich, so no point in asking.

Re: DILEMMA - NEED ADVICE !

Nolinor's salary is actually a joke too for FO's. 30K per annum.

I once went to their interview and it lasted 1 hour only. Could you not ask them to book your interview in the early morning or the after 4 pm?

Re: Why the USA sucks

I think any Canadian who thinks they hate Americans are more than likely unaware of history's WW1 & WW2, Cold War and the domino effect it had leading up to today's global reality. Simply put, Americans are our brother-ens. We share common Christian values with them as both countries like to choose ...

Re: Air Aprint VS. Ornge - PC-12

OK everyone.. thank you for your opinions. I think I will take Air Sprint. The money isn't as good, but getting an upgrade to a Citation is nothing to ignore. Living in Montreal is much better than Sioux Lookout. So my standard of living will be good. The only thing is job security which is probably...

Hey thanks for that response Beach King air. Good info from that. My biggest concern is to do with job security.

Air Aprint VS. Ornge - PC-12

Have a job offer with Ornge. Got an interview lined up with Air Sprint. Both for PC-12.

In your mind... which company is better?

Ornge is based in Sioux Lookout. Air Sprint is based in my home town Montreal.

Also, any tips for the Air Sprint interview.

Many thank in advance.

We will see what happens. Price just doesn't have the mental fortitude to steal some games for us though. I wouldnt be surprised if they play Halek game 2 or 3 in Boston.
