Re: Ontario Flight Colleges/Universities
I am currently located in Montreal and hold a valid PPL license. I was thinking of continuing my flight training in Ontario. My logic is that since you will be paying high amounts for flight training, might as well try and get some extras for the money, i.e bachelor's degree, aviation certificate o...

Re: Smile Aviation
It does not mean a pilot with an EU passport it means a pilot of Euro decent.
Everywhere is not Canada guys.
It means a white guy, I'm sorry to say.
I applied thru Smile for a gig but they are very serious about the 50 YO age limit as well.

Ouch! Hello fellow aviators. It has come to our attention that a job opening posted on our website the last few weeks looks to be a scam. The posting referenced an airline in Iran called ATA and after applying, pilots received a detailed email re the Interview Process, including the need to make a b...

"Inshallah" I guess! I know it is a tough call. I know Iran is accused of supporting unsavory activities, many countries are. So much politics! I would keep my eye on it as a young aviator for a quick way to get into a 320 job. I also wouldn't be surprised to see tax benefits somewhere down the road...
