Anyone know of an available room to rent in Yellowknife in the next two weeks. I have tried looking at the ykf trader and the northern news service. Just wondering if there are other options out there?

Should I be concerned as to which equipment I do the training on or where it's done? 172 Vs 180? I am thinking it may be more benificial to do the training where I would get qaulity experience like the Muskoka's where there would be various lakes to learn from...any suggestions?

Does anybody know of a Training Unit around the Sudbury area or Perry Sound area...Ideally somewhat close to Toronto that offers a basic 7 hour Float course and accomidation to a student? I am sure there must be numerous companies like this but I lack the knowledge in the float Side of things.

Does anybody know what the licensing requirements are to convert from a Commercial Airplance License to a commercial Helicopter are? I am thinking 50 hours or less but I could be wrong.

Hi All,

I am just wondering if I am correct. But to write the IATRA exam all you need is 250 hours and an instrument rating?

And how do you prove you have the IATRA written? Is it on your license or do you have to show you passed with the TC sheet they give you after the exam?

Is there a reason why it is so hard to get a job Instructing at Spectrum?

Wouldn't you have to prove you would be a good instructor anyway before they hire you?

Has anyone heard if this is a good spot to get your Instructor rating done?

I agree I could have gone to a hub community but actually driving there and getting lucky to have someone talk to you are very hard things to do especially when i have a full time job. So do i either wait a couple months and take a week off and try to talk to someone in the community or just quit my...

It would be impossible to hop in my car and talk to the chief pilot in person. Where this company is there are no roads into the community.

yep that was me sending out hundreds of resumes...but i actually got a lot of nice letters from chief pilots...some even said how like you said the aviation industry is run by insurance companies and it makes it harder for us low timers to get a job. I was impressed how personable he was in the lett...

HAHA...but how good looking can a pilots wife be who works up north!

i guess that is why he just sat there saying nothing on the phone waiting for me to come up with some BS to impress him... guess it didn't work this time

Hey Everybody, I recently graduated from a Diploma program last year and I have still not been able to get my first job. I talked to a Chief pilot a few times over the phone and he seemed like he might be interested but the 4th time i talked to him he said he already hired who he needed. I am wonder...

I am not sure if I am the only one or not, but the Air Canada Commercial with Celine Dion REALLY annoys me...I think it is over played and the dumbest commercial I have ever seen. Don't get me wrong I think it is great air canada is getting a new image and restructuring, but I think they could have ...

Do you need to know someone to go into their 2nd officer course or can you apply somewhere to do it? I have tried looking in their website but it does not say much.

yes you may pay as much having to go away to school with living expenses...but my argument lies with well med school students and to live away from home and they have to pay a lot for that too AND have to pay $15 000 a year for 4 years...if they can do it then why can't sault/confed students?

Maybe the solution is to get ride of all the government funded flight schools like confed or Sault or at least make them pay ...cuz then you would REALLY have to be determined to go to fly school...after all you have to pay thousands of dollars to be an MD...why not a pilot?

yep maybe that is true but all i know is that i love flying and won't be able to give it up!!!

ok...but i thought that the AIP subscription money came out of the medical fee...but i guess i am wrong and that is 100% profit for the doctors...they must be rich !!!

Hey does anybody know where this $55 go's when you pay it? Its not enough that I pay $120 for a medical to be done but I have to pay this too. This is nothing new for me paying this but I just want to know if anybody out there knows where it go's? I thought the medical examiner had to pay a certain ...

WOW i didn't know everyone hated this company, the thought of flying for free makes me sick. Ah well maybe someday someone will pay me to fly!
