I used Dr. Jonasson last time, albeit a virtual medical . I belive he is located in Hammonds Plains area.

Confed alumni here... Doing an intro flight on a Cessna and maybe a lesson or two would be helpful. Get that PTR going and some familiarity with how flight training works. An online ground school would be a great pre-study to get you a leg up and find out your strengths and weaknesses. I came in wit...

Saw Sunwest is looking for pilots again. Specifically the LR45. I worked there back in the day at the old hangar.
Curious if anyone has any current info available ? I have an idea what it was like from a decade ago , wondering if anything has changed. Schedule, pay, etc, the usual.

What you guys forget is that both companies are growing and soon to be actively hiring again. Both were actively hiring prior to the pandemic. Ratios for date of hire don't necessarily get enacted just because of the size of the company being bought out. WestJet has 150 airplanes and needs X number...

… this is a much better deal for WestJet and for Sunwing's ownership group (Hunters seem very pleased at becoming shareholders in the WS group of companies) than it is for the Sunwing pilot group, who have the most to lose in this proposed merger.

Agreed 100%.

AirSprint folks thanks for your openness and transparency on this forum and in general with your pilot guide. I noticed the latest ad is looking for Embraer captains as well. Is this position typically filled internally with FO upgrades? Are you likely to hire from the outside if a qualified individ...

Heard today WJ is freezing all pilot hiring

latest class full of experience, 705 PIC time, 777 captain back from the sandbox, military, etc.

Interview process: 1 HR , 2 Pilots, standard behavioral questions. Technical questions are oral and not written, asked by the panel.

Hope that helps

For those of you still waiting for a call or thinking of applying, today the company announced that they are opening Vancouver and Quebec City as full-time permanent bases, with the expectation that Calgary will become a permanent base late next year. This would leave Winnipeg as the only remaining...

Bit of both. As mentioned above the entire fleet will someday be replaced by Max's. Good luck on the interview. Best place I have ever worked for lifestyle. Would you think swg is better then AC? It depends. With a bit of seniority and depending of your family lifestyle it can certainly be as good ...

With regards to the MAXs for Sunwing..are they being brought in as replacements or for growth? both?
Interview coming in December...

I have outlined where the crash site is. Pretty much on the centreline

Reading the cadors it looks like JRCC Trenton, at 1620Z, confirmed the plane crashed. Not that the plane crashed at 1620. The CADOR gives a detailed lat long of the accident site, which I assume comes from GPS at the scene. The location, if it correct, is not lined up with any approach, but 2.1 mil...

With regards to no RNAV approach at KQ3...I was notified a few weeks ago that North Spirit is scheduled to get an approach in the CAP by April of this year. This leaves only a small handful of strips in NWO without a functional approach. As for the medevac flight that brought out the survivor, it wa...

I have to say that my first 2 instructors on my PPL were the best! Both Mel Laidlaw and John Nagy at Sudbury Aviation were excellent career type instructors and were awesome. It was great to do my first solo on skis and then do it over again a month later on floats!! Glad to hear someone mention Jo...

Just wondering if anyone who interviewed in November has heard back from Porter?

It's been over a month since the interview for me and no word...

Also, I'm curious as to what kind of experience most of the recent FO candidates have?

Cheers

The year was 2010...DHC2 based in Northern ON. $4500/month, room + food included, internet/satellite tv, 3 weeks on 1 week off, plus a cash "bonus" at the end of the season for actually doing it. Would I do it again? Probably not, but I suppose I can tell my grand kids that I did it...
