Wait... 600hr on type? Or total?

Altiplano is right. Hiring is at break neck speeds these days. Before I would have suggested applying early get your name out there, but now you basically have to be ready to go the cal/ start date if successfull will come fast. Good luck!

Zero 705 command time? Of course they have zero before upgrading at what would be their first 705 company. Frig, places like sky are where you go after the 703/704 world. You don't go sideways from one 705 over to sky. "Nailed it"? Hardly.

Piston has a less involved start process (usually) That's not been the case for any piston I've flown, whereas every turbine has been about as complicated as throwing a match into a puddle of kerosene. Operationally less involved as well. Keep the needles out of the red. Not exactly rocket applianc...

I think that's all going to come down to the specific turbine and specific piston. Some turbines have temp limiters and torque limiters and a new pilot can't mess much up, or they have neither and more caution has to be used. Piston has a less involved start process (usually) but depending on the mo...

Just PAL and EVAS for airlines. Maybe some smaller operators. But none of the majors have crew bases out east. It would mean commuting to yul or yyz

Yup the nerve to my right earlobe was severed, that's done, but the nerves to my neck are just "tortured" basically. One of the nurses said a patient's feeling came back over two years after the surgery. I'm at 8 months. And in the end of this is the worse case scenario it's really not that bad. Act...

Screen him, but the point stands the pool of "1500 hr guys looking for 1900 FO positions" is limited, where as the pool of "250-500 looking for anything" is much larger with therefore a higher likelyhood of finding that exceptional beginner.

Yes that's exactly what he's said multiple times. He believes in this market where 800 hrs can get you into the regionals that the 1500 hr guy who goes to the 1900 probably has been PFO'd from the better options. Where as you could screen for the cream of the crop of the 200-500 hr guys applying and...

Pretty good. My next appointment is my 6 month check up with nuclear medicine just to make sure everything got nuked. That's end of September. Had to go back on a low dose of calcium (hypocalcemia is an awful feeling), and iron, but my thyroid levels are stable and where they want. Hoping the iron f...

Ha! Yeah coversyl is quite effective for myself. Glad it's working for you

It has suddenly dawned on me what the disconnect is. There is a fundamental difference between how guys like GGGQ and digits view the role and responsibility of an FO, and how I do. One side seems to think that the position is one where it is acceptable for inexperienced pilots to undergo a sort of...

No matter how bad a 1500 hour pilot is, they are ALWAYS going to have more experience than a 250 hour pilot. If we have an engine fire after takeoff, who's going to have the cooler head? The guy who's been flying planes longer. That's a no brainer. I disagree. It's not that obvious. Plenty of exper...

For the record, I was referencing SOME 1500 hour pilots, not all. Pilots with this amount of time should be able to slide in seamlessly into pretty much any flying role with the right training. But from what I’ve seen, I still see some guys with this amount of time flying like they are sub-500 hour...

as a 500 hr, CPL, GRP1 IFR, Multi and IATRA pilot and I keep running into companies that are still holding on to extremely lofty minimums ie: 1500, 2500 hr minimums. ..... If I had those kind of times I could be a candidate at JAZZ, ENCORE, Georgian, Sky Regional and many others. Seems like a compl...

I actually think that's starting to come around a bit, and PC12 time as log as it's multi crew is ranking up there with your multi turbine.

Wow, what other than taxes do they take. I get the same and I know my salary is less than jazz starting. Or I guess the real question is how much are the union dues?

Isn't the YYZ Q doing a lot of that eastern flying? or is it mostly YUL? I don't look too closely at their bid pacs anymore. I also wouldn't be surprised if they didn't run an august bid again.. That eastern flying is being taken off the Q and given to rouge 319 There is lot of eastern flying out o...

Few more "and's" than I was aware of, however I won't be one of the ones using the program. Good to know though.

Granted I'm only 703 but as far as I understand reserve rules they can't "need" me on my rest. If they call... Now my rest is interrupted, and restarts. So I don't understand "keep your phone on" how about no.

Often wondered the same. Still have mine but it's so faded/ worn after years of being tucked into those old paper license holders before the blue passport, that it's barely legible.

Correct. 100hrs total for PICUS

You're fooling yourself if you think otherwise. I haven't seen the lifestyle at Encore, but I am right to be skeptical about Jazz based on the fact that they make you agree to move somewhere before telling you where. You don’t have to move anywhere. Their commuting policy is extremely generous. Not...

Turn it off when you go to bed. Hell turn the whole phone off. It's what I do. Airplane mode of I need my alarm (though easily remedied by getting a cheap alarm clock)
