Mushr00m...

I'm at EK right now and have been for 10yrs...MattK you nailed it!

@Complex: Where did you convert your ATPL? What do you figure average all in cost in $ and time? PM if you wish but I think others should be informed as well.

If anyone wants to start this one up again, I know of more than a few guys in the sandbox that would drop everything, self included, to signup.

FYI, There is very high probability that a VAT will be introduced as well as speculation of an income tax.... The income tax has been proposed but they are evaluating the "effects it would have socially" .i.e. mass exodus of expats. I didn't even mention the cost of schools, if you have kids... just...

FYI Housing in the area can range from $35000-$90000 and more CDN per year...I'm talking rent. Low-end is for an apartment, high-end for a villa. Hydro/utilities could cost as low as $400CDN / up to $1800CDN for said apartment(in winter)/ Villa in summer...PER MONTH...Crazy expensive...Food is also ...

WOW!! Talk about handcuffs.....

What's a typical pairing? Check-in time, duty day length? How many days a month do you have to drive/commute into work? How many days free from duty(days off) per month?
How much does it differ by equipment?
I know, lots of questions but these are the important ones for me.

Thanks for any info.

Leave Canada and go work overseas......If not, you'll never really get ahead in Canadian aviation.
Living overseas can be very rewarding and not just financially.

LOL!!! True, so true......

12 weeks profit share.....sweet!!!

So what is a typical schedule like...single - multi-day pairings? How many legs a day? Hours a day? What is pay scale like? PM me if it's easier to answer.

Mushr00m.

Can anyone give any insight into the interview process at Air Transat?
Questions? Sim? Medical?
-What could someone expect.
Please PM me if you can....

Just a thought! If people aren't sure how important good Cabin Crew are? Why don't you ask all the pax that survived the Air France crash @YYZ? Remember they are there primarily for safety first, then service (705 ops). If that doesn't change your mind or ease your opinion of how unimportant their j...

Congrats! It's been a long time...I haven't worked with you since PAL and VAL. I'll see ya online.

Congrats KAG

I haven't talked to you since VAL, I'll see you on line at JAZZ!!
good luck!

I heard it was a Dash-7-102

PT6-114A

Ya, you're right! I'm just bitter. I wish we could listen to music...it would definately make the time go by quicker....company policy....and the grumpy old operators in the back would rat us out. I think it's time to bail-out!!!

....Be very careful if you're thinking of getting into survey flying. A) 2 or 3 month on with one month off may sound cool, on paper, but most people can't handle the isolation for that long. B) The flying is rather uselss, as far as career developement and improving/maintaining IFR skills, trust me...

Bear1,

I agree there are definately some interesting things coming up in the near future. Of the International and domestic variety. They should be pretty busy training this year.

Nobody knows what the schedule will be like but it will cover 24/7, probably 12 hour shifts....something like 4 on 4 off. That is similar to how their S.O.C.C. works now. But they will also be hiring for the kingairs and for Dash7 and Dash8 F/O's by the end of winter with groundschools probably in l...

DA900....That is the best comment on this forum. Nicely Done!

Try Navtech in Kitchener, Ontario...the people there are friendly and they seem to enjoy it.
