Re: Cathay Pacific - second officer interview YVR

thanks for your input loopa.

I noticed that your title indicated 'direct entry FO'. Should I assume that Cathay expects the same amount of knowledge for a second officer being interviewed?

Thanks

Re: Second Career Question

i was in a similar situation, in my mid 20s and decided to go with the FTU. The truth is that a licence is a licence, no matter where you get it. It probably helps to have a recognized FTU on the resume, seems more operators are looking for aviation diplomas...if you don't have post secondary educat...

Re: Algonquin airlink

Just curious - has anyone heard anything from the folks at Algonquin Airlink yet? It's mid April. I was kind of hoping to get at least a "not a chance, but thanks for applying" email.

Re: Air Inuit

Hey there, From what I have heard they are a very good operator to work for. But like most great companies out there, they can be very picky about the candidates they want to hire. You might try asking the question on the French aviation form, since they are a more or less a French operator. http://...

Re: Lear35 First Officer- Keewatin Air LP

Yes there is a 2 year bond. Don't remember the cost, but it's relatively high. You will do your training down in Tuscon Arizona. Expect to honour the 2 year bond before going captain on the King Air. Plane flies a lot. The training cost is too high and the company doesn't want to continously train l...

Re: Lear35 First Officer- Keewatin Air LP

Actually, the company has been faced with a lot of turnover recently, and definitely needs to refresh its candidates list. However, keewatin does have a solid record of putting 250 hr guys in the king air, and with all the turnover that they have faced in the last 6 months, it's quite possible that ...

But it showed some personality!! Truthfully I believe it was a calculated move on the part of Algonquin to see who would answer originally and fit their style. I am sure not everyone appreciated it, but I did.

Right up until you discuss the paycheque, then we bake cookies. Still a fine job for a lower time, single individual; plus you could do far worse at the north end of Pearson.

So when you say lower time, do you have any idea? 2000 hours?

I'd venture a guess of 35k to 45k a year, though there is not much flying involved (200 hours) Liked the add, it was the most personal one I have seen.

Hey guys, After having talked to a lot of people, a 1000 hours TT should get you into the right seat somewhere in Canada. Now, if the majority of your time is right seat on a Metro III instead a B1900, do employers who have neither type aircraft in their fleet have a bias to one airplane or the othe...
