That is correct. I showed up in YYC with my YUL pass and they told me I had to send it back to YUL have them cancel it before they could do anything for me, they did issue me a temporary "escort required" yellow pass though. Once that was done, if you have your CASAP exams complete (National and YYZ...

How often do they usually hold ground schools per year on average?

I am honestly quite surprised that Air Canada being the "nation's airline" hasn't bid or have anything to do with this. During the Beijing 2008 Olympics Air China was one of their main sponsors. I guess the recession could have something to do with Air Canada not being as involved as I would assume ...

Guy's, there was more to the story than that little blurb. Saw them arresting the guy on the news last night, and what a couple of impressive friends he had with them. I'm sure their employer in Fort Mac was really impressed with the quality image these guys dished out for the oil patch industry on...

id recommend calling them in advance as the season is ending and certain drop zones are no longer taking last minute calls due to rescheduled jumps from over the summer!

Winters are cold, summers suck due to invasion of flies.. actual invasions like never seen before... You are very secluded from any normal civilization, pay is shit but hey were pilots. Are you moving there with a family or solo? That could be something to discuss with your spouse, maybe even go che...

Living in Fort McMurray over a year Bell/Telus/Rogers/Fido all work with 4 bars and work to some extend north of the city/oil sands.

Like in previous thread, Sasktel is the only company i know of that works in Buffalo Narrows or any of those random locations in northern Saskatchewan.

if your there for a quick turn... ask the guy if he minds you using the computer for 3mins to check the weather.. i doubt he will if your there for an hour or two.. pointless to make a big fuss out of it.. if the kids on facebook for 2hours, dang... props to him! 15mins usually gives you a good enou...

I wonder if standard operating procedure for Jazz in that kind of state is for the pilots to put on their oxygen masks in case shit does hit the fan and the window does exceed to that next stage?

There are a few companies up here in Northern Ontario,
You could try applying to most of them but it is kind of late in the hiring season..
I think the Wabusk Air in Moosonee might be looking for a new rampy/copilot, try sending them your resume if interested.

Cheers.

I'm sorry, I'm confused... Does everyone have to take this language test including people born in Canada? Born and raised in Quebec, i still had to do both language exams a year and a half ago. Their very easy. At the time they were still in the "testing" stages of the program so we had 2 exams for...

Ha ha ha, Love this question.

Or is it the overpaid little runt who makes a liv...
