Re: Any current info on perimeter?

Why are they doing the sim check and pilot interview AFTER the ramp wait? Are people going to become better pilots after sitting for 1-2yrs? so the company waits the time for the pilots skills to improve on the check and then check out their skill? Why isn't the sim eval and pilot interview done at...

Re: Perimeter aviation hiring requirements

Great company to work for. No outside hiring of F/Os. Wait time is around 1-1.5years on the ground. Things are speeding up in the industry with 2-3000hr pilots going to AC. This means F/Os are spending considerably less time in the right seat and ground is getting promoted a lot faster. HR has a sta...

Re: Military (non-pilot) thinking of a Flying Career

In all honesty you would be better off going to air crew selection at 8 Wing. Fly for the forces. The pay is better, you'll have a pension, and you already have experience. I'm assuming you're not an officer, but with the degree you have, you can skip that portion of RMC/Civi College and just go on ...

Finish your degree. I'd aim more towards the B. Eng, because everyone and their dog has a B. Comm or "Management" diploma. Engineering is also more direct rather than dicking around at lower level "commerce" jobs. If you have 3 more years of engineering left, I assume you've already done 1-1.5 years...

Do they hire experienced pilots for the metro or only promote from within...ramp/instructing etc Only hire from within.

+1 for Perimeter. Best pay in any department compared to all the other starter companies. So you will not live in squalid poverty while you're waiting to fly, plus YWG isn't that bad. Once you're on line, it's pretty nice too. Full benefits package, OK starting pay, Pilots Association, proper maint....

My advice. Don't waste your time on a road trip. Move to Winnipeg, and get ANY job you can at Perimeter Aviation (ramp, training, reservations, check in, stores, cargo). Write your IATRA too. The wait may be 1.5-2years, but I promise you, this will be the best career you will ever make. They have ex...

Re: Jazz to start charging for jump seat

You always could check in online when jump seating. You still need to hassle the captain though under the new agreement. Only things that have changed are:
1)YOU pay the AIF, nav canada etc
2)No walk ups, must be registered through the call centre

Re: looking for good school (ME+IFR)..

The reason perimeter costs a bit more it because YOU ACTUALLY learn to fly IFR in a structured lesson format. You're not just flying the same ILS over and over again. Nor do they teach you to just pass the flight test. Going to perimeter will make you a better pilot.. It seems like you are looking t...
