Aerocourse IFR

Hello all.
Will the Aerocourse 3 day IFR seminar make a big difference on writing the INRAT? Will I understand the material better?
All the subjects can be studied on my own, what will I get out of Aerocourse after paying $500 more.
Thanks

Re: The importance of having a degree

IMHO the more degrees a pilot has, the less employable he is, as a line pilot. Go get a Phd in Physics and then apply to Buffalo. Let me know how that works out for you. Looking at two identical guys, except one has a degree and 5,000TT and one has a high school diploma and 10,000TT, I'd hire the g...

Re: Sim hours for instrument

Thanks everyone. Also a quick question again. The CARs don't state clearly, they say i need 20 hours of instrument for my commercial. Are those 20 hours after the private pilot license? Or 20 hours total since the beginning?

Thank you

Sim hours for instrument

Hello everyone! I know that about 10 hours of the 20 instrument hours for the CPL can be logged in an approved training device. But is it necessary to log it with an instructor? Or can I simply do those 10 hours by myself and log the hours? In my logbook I haven't entered the instructor's name. Thanks

Question about joining AC as a pilot

Hey everyone! I know that Air Canada pilots either start on the E190's as F/O or on the B777, B767 or the newer B787 as S/O (relief pilot)...My question is, after the relief pilot's have reached enough seniority, do they become F/O directly on the B777, B767 or the B787 or do they start flying a dif...

Air Transat pilot's answer please

I know that 4000 TT is the time I need to get selected but do they hire for less as well? I heard its an easy company to become a pilot for? Does having a university degree help getting selected for Transat as a pilot or they emphasize more on hours flown. My main objective is Air Transat therefore ...

Schooling transcripts

Do airlines look at high school, college and university grades on the day of the interview? Can an airline pilot enlighten me on this fact. My grades are average, just want to know if that will be a barrier for me to get a job.
Thanks alot!
