All YYZ I believe

I would guess that all new hires will be YYZ based for the foreseeable future. Not because people aren’t needed elsewhere but because that way any relocation is simply seniority based.

"Good" operators use method A. If you're lucky, you work for one of them. Are there any of them in the 703 world?

Are there any 705s that even go to all that trouble?

I like how you can tell who works where just from their replies in this thread.

I'd love to throw bags for joe mcbryan in -30 and be barely able to afford rent

If that’s the only employment you can find then you’re not trying hard enough, but I bet you already know that.

If you don't wanna move up north go get your instructor rating and do that until you get 1500Hrs and Jazz will take ya! Or, and this is crazy but hear me out, do move north for a year or two since that time is nothing when you’re in your early twenties. Come out of it as the interesting person at p...

Can they at least include a semester-long ramp internship in Deerfart Manitoba or something?

An observation from this old codger. Why do chaps make comments on Air Canada’s salary structure when they (a) do not work at that airline (b) explicitly imply they have no desire to do so. Insecurity, I assume. Using pay and schedule as an example, a corporate pilot should STFU about how good they...

The touch and go by a flying boat on pavement would have been interesting to see firsthand.

You’d think flying so much one would be at the top of their game.

That will depend on getting a job. People who have them always seem to think it's a given, but believe me, it is not. True, it’s not a given but there are also plenty of openings all over the country right now. Come at any reasonably appropriate job with honesty, humility, and some baseline skill r...

Cool airports are a lot cooler in the summer, FWIW.

Just fly 500 hours in under two years. It isn’t hard.

I had managed to block it from my memory until this thread, but, flat turns . The idea was that in a banked turn you were wasting lift to the inside of the turn so for best performance you want to keep the wings level, especially at low speeds. I’m told it took a fair bit of opposite aileron to keep...

^I think I’ve worked with all of those people.

I guess you’d need an Authorized Person to sign the application and without any of the type here nobody would be authorized to sign it.

I'm not sure that's the kind of leadership we want in Western society.

Of course that’s what we all want, we just can’t agree on a dictator.

Zombie thread alert!

1. Holy cow things have changed in the past 7 years.

2. Yes, a PPC can be an IFR renewal flight test and in some specific cases an initial.

TC is unlikely to count it but as long as your total is legit per the CARs you ought to be good. In a couple years that 1.3 will be less than the accumulated math errors in your book so there won’t be a meaningful lasting impact.

we parked on the ramp, and marched through the locking gate in the fence next to the FSS, and then around the front of the terminal and through the front door. If I was peeved enough at CATSA, I'd do the same if I were working for an airline, and then bypass them again on the way back the next morn...

Best bet for OTS applicant now is apply at Transat and failing that Jazz.

Calling Transat ‘best’ right now is a bit of a gamble, no? I’d have thought the surest thing would remain Jazz, as it has been for at least the last decade from what I’ve seen.

I hate it when people mistreat tools. That poor 172 deserved better.

Will Porter hire again after May 2019?

So hang on, was the answer to this actually “No” because that’s incredible if true.

Licensed controllers in Complex Towers, or ACCs in senior roles make considerably more money than you're offering.

Not if they’ve been fired. Or I guess left over a medical thing or something.
