Samson, you make a valid point. I have my ATP so Im not trying to chase PIC time, just stability. I have the opportunity to return to my old job and move captain, it's something Im considering, just not sure if I want it right now as I dont know if Id get approved for a LOA. There's no layoffs right...

All those direct entry college kids must be sweating just as hard. Hopefully they didn't burn any bridges with their former classmates. They might be your captain very soon. Actually those "kids" are in a good situation. They were hired before Jazz started doubling up on groundschool sizes. Even if...

Thanks for the info so far guys, much appreciated. As I said before I really do enjoy the job and the flying. Despite what's said about Jazz, I enjoy going to work every day and often prefer going in to having a day off. Lots of variety in the flying. It just gets a little worriesome when you see ca...

Just looking for a little advice and opinions. Im an FO at Jazz, been here 1 year. I enjoy the job and have a good schedule. Got +2500hrs right now with lots of multi-turbine and 500 jet. Im lacking in PIC time though (<700, all single-piston). Due to all the instability facing the industry now, Ive...

what does it mean whe you apply below mins and your resume has been viewed the next day? If you made your resume "searchable," then most likely it was viewed by another company. I did that, and got an email for an interview invite the following day from some totally unrelated company. If your resum...

Hello everyone, At the moment I have about 900hrs, 500 PIC (all single piston), and about 250 ME turbine. I work in a 703/704 environment. I realize I don't meet the mins at Jazz, but I was wondering if it is okay to apply early and simply keep updating every 6 months or so? I'm also happy where I'm...

Thanks for the input so far! I know I would be happier flying and living closer to home in a big city, but like I said, I don't want to sacrifice long-term career advancement. The type of flying the job would entail definetly interests me, though. Being almost 25 years old, I have already come to th...

Good evening, I have a question/scenario for everyone here. Assume you're currently working the ramp for a reputable company with an all-turbine fleet. You've been at the company for +4 months, and expect to be flying full-time within 12 months. New-hires are being told to expect 2 years, but realis...

Slut tout le monde, Le Français n'est pas ma première langue, alors excuser-moi si je rends des fautes! Est-ce que quelqu'un a de l'information sur ce compagnie? J'ai l'experience requie, mais je ne peux pas trouver de l'information sur l'internet. Quelle sorte d'avion est ce MTV voles ailleurs de l...

Thanks so much for all the helpful replies! At the moment, I am happy with my present job and love the work (all single-pilot work with low altitude flying and navigation- just how flying is meant to be, in my opinion ;) ). The pay is not great, but if I get the management promotion and get my own a...

Hello everyone, I am hoping that some more experienced in this industry can offer some good advice. Currently I do single-engine day VFR work. It's a seasonal job, and the beginning of our season is just around the corner. At the moment I have about 500 hours. With my present company, there is an op...

Hello, I was wondering if you guys could give me some advise and share your insight into cell phones. I am currently in the market for a phone, and I admit that I know very little about the various companies and their plans. I am interested in a provider with good coverage across Canada and the USA....

Wow, this seems pretty unanimous!

Thanks again for all the insight. If anyone else wants to weigh in, feel free!

taffer.

Thanks for all the feedback! It is very much appreciated. It's not so much that I'm trying to get to the airlines ASAP- I'm just looking for something with a little more stability. At the moment, I am very much dependent on my parents as I'm not making enough to cover rent and student loan payments....

Hello everyone! Nice to see the site up and running again! Anyway, I have a question and I'd like some feedback from everyone here. Currently, I am a low-time pilot (just under 500 hours) that does aerial work. All flying is single-engine day-vfr. There's the potential for a lot of hours here (excep...

Would it be unwise if in the letter I state something as follows: "I deny that I was in in violation of CAR XXX. If this issue is regarding a a noise complaint, I would be happy to write an apology letter to the person who filed the complaint." Basically, I TC to know that I truly believe that I was...

thanks again. My company does not have an OC yet (we are in the process) so I have to deal with this myself. My boss says he will back me up anyway he can, and that he will support me financially if necessary (take care of the fine, if there is one). We do not need an OC for what we do (TC even told...

Thank you to all who have responded. I just got off the phone with a lawyer, and he recommended me to write a letter to TC informing them that I absolutely deny any charges against me. As I said above, I do not deny flying in that general area, but I am certain that I was not in breach of CAR 602.14...

CFMartin, I hope you are correct, as I am really worried that I may receive a large fine, license suspension, and be fired by my employer. If I talk to an inspector, I will be honest with them. I know that I was flying in that area that day, but I strongly believe that I was not below legal limits. ...

Hello, I received a letter from TC informing me that they are looking into a possible violation of CAR 602.14 (low level flying, noise complaint) on my part. Now, I will not dispute the fact that I was flying in that area that day. My type of job (aerial work) requires me to get low (500-1000 ft AGL...

If you could choose from either of these jobs, which one would you take and why? I am currently involved in a non-flying role at a flight school (this relates to job #1). 1) Instructing. The flight school is a busy school with opportunities apart from instructing. There is a possibility for me to mo...
