Hey everyone, Just curious what the outlook is for aviation in Canada within the next 1-5 years and even beyond? I know last year it seemed jazz was hiring everyone and there was so much movement. I'm seriously considering getting taking a ramp job offer and by the sounds of it fly within 6 months. ...

What about using a PC based system as a strictly IFR procedures trainer? flight sim does just fine in this regard. I wouldn’t expect to hone your fine motor skills as it can be twitchy AF but as someone who was off work due to an MVC and very short on cash it served me just fine. I then booked a fe...

Hey guys, Im strongly considering getting back into aviation for a career. I have just over 200TT and my multi ifr. My main concern is I havent flown much in the past few years and my skills arent what they were coming out of college. For guys who take ramp jobs, what is the process like for getting...

obviously there is a ton of hiring going on right now and just curious when do you predict it will slow down or stop?

wow that would be good news if true

hey guys,

just curious if i got my multi IFR in 2011 and havent done anything with it do I have to rewrite the INRAT and do a flight test? and is there any loop holes if so (ie. ppc)?

(and yes i did read the CARS, just want to get confirmation)

thanks

holy crap thank you, ive been searching all day lol. thanks a lot

there was a thread somewhere on avcanada and in it was a post about a pilots financial life saying how it takes like 10 yrs of poverty wages to finally make good money then you have to factor in loans, then it compared that to another job with an average salary of $80,000 for your career. then he to...

knowing what i know now cj, if I were you I wouldnt pursue a career in aviation.

what airlines does georgian hire from?

so if its rare for georgian to hire instructors, what airlines do they normally hire guys from? Or what aircraft do they normally hire guys off of?

did instructors leaving for georgian instruct on a multi or would georgian hire guys with all single engine instructing time?

personally i would take the new job.

and even you said it yourself, you dislike where you live at your current job

any ideas or guesses of what the captain and F/O salary will be with westjet regional?

did instructors going to georgian instruct on a multi or would georgian hire guys with all single engine instructing time?

To answer the OPs question, I do not know how it works elsewhere, but here at Perimeter you can upgrade to the metro 2 with no ATPL Try and get into a job that will upgrade you with your current pic time. If you're concerned about it, ask during the interview so a fresh 200hr pilot can eventually b...

I thought upgrades to captain on the Navajo happen within 1-2 yrs at TWA.

a year and a half wait scares me . is there a certain base that usually gets you flying quicker? id like to be flying within 6 months if possible

so how many pilots are typically in these "ground schools"? And they all get a flying job in a yrs time?

also does the 250hrs make a big difference when it comes to getting a flying spot?

so are all the captain jobs posted on here the requirements for direct entry captains or are F/O's in that particular company expected to meet the same requirments as posted in the ad? the only way it seems to get MPIC time is either on a Navajo (because most airlines dont already require previous M...

yeah I can see how it would be. College grads that get on with Jazz are almost screwed in the future in a way. They will have lots of hours but no PIC time so then what? No calls from Air Canada or Westjet or upgrading to captain at Jazz. I guess getting on with an airline that has a navajo or somet...

say for example you work at perimeter, first air or any airline similar as a F/O for your first job. Would they promote you to captain eventually on an aircraft even though the only PIC time you have is from your flight training? im just confused as how guys go about gaining MPIC time when most job ...

Do any airlines upgrade F/O's to captain positions on turbine or multi engine aircraft without there ATPL? Most captain jobs I see on here for a King Air for example require your ATPL. How are you suppose to upgrade to captain positions without your ATPL? Im having concerns about getting my ATPL in ...

what kind of hours (TT, MPIC, Turbine, etc) is GGN hiring guys with?

just curious what type of experience guys have when getting hired with Air Canada (TT, MPIC, Turbine PIC/SIC, etc)

Also how important/better is MPIC Turbine time compared to just MPIC time?
