Ahhh, now I understand the confusion. :lol: :oops: My original wording was quite confusing. I put that I wanted to ''start flight school''. I meant, start some more training. Not start a flight school haha Wording changed** This is a good example of how aviation accidents happen. One small mistake l...

haha thanks c172 Boy, this has turned into a messy thread :D I'm not trying to open a flight school!! :lol: They do help out with funding commercial liscenses, multi, etc... I appreciate the very well thought out response though, very insightful if I was ever crazy enough to attempt that is this sta...

bwilly You are kidding......right, because if by some slim chance you are actually serious, you are asking questions that are so basic that it would mean you have no idea about this business. Engage a consultant if you want to proceed further Actually, I'm quite aware these are basic questions. How...

Hello, I'm looking to talk to some aviation employers & employed pilots. I'm trying to secure funding to start flight training, and the provincial government would like know some labour market information to ensure I'm a reasonable investment. Questions for employers include: Qualifications for new ...

That article is extremely vague - are they talking about RNP, VNAV/LNAV, LPV, etc?? I'm just a student pilot, so I dont understand the full extent.

I'm certainly no expert, but isnt there some truth to what emirates is saying about jobs? They claim that by adding more flights to Canada, it will in turn create an increase in passenger traffic to the smaller feeder airlines.

Right. Thanks everyone for the insight! From weeks of reading, it seems like working Europe is more costly initially, but better for low timers. Question to anyone who is over there. I'll be able to work in Germany, but only Germany. Does that mean I can only fly within Germany, or only German regis...

Thanks for the replies guys, I should clarify, I don't want to do all my training in Europe. I really don't feel like shelling out 40K for a type rating to fly in europe, is that normal over there? All those folks at Oxford and whatnot paying like 100K to hop in as a F/O with ryanair...wow There are...

Hey, I posted this over at pprune, thought you guys would know better :D So I need some advice, I'm a Canadian, and I'm trying to evaluate whether to focus my flight training on Canada or Europe. I'll soon be married to a German, which will give me the right to live and work in Germany(though my Ger...

Hello, I'll soon finish my PPL. Right after I finish I'll be going to Florida for two months or so with the family. My question is, what can I do as far as flight training while I'm there. I'd like to stay fresh and get some flight time before I go back to Canada and continue with my commercial. Can...
