Re: Air Sprint Questions

Greetings to all, I hope all is well and everyone is staying safe from this crisis. I had a small question for HR. What would happen if we were put into a pool for future positions. With this crisis; does that blow us out of the water for any future positions when this thing subsides or do we remain...

Greetings to everyone!

Re: Hiring?

Greetings all! My strong apologies with a stupid question to follow. Since we all know how much the industry has changed and we do indeed see the so-awaited shortage. I’m curious to know how flexible AT is with their required experience. Is the 2000 hours minimum a hard requirement even if you you h...

Re: 1000 hour pilots

I can confirm IFR is way easier than VFR, especially in dense airspace. Although there is a little more to learn in the IFR world, almost everything IFR is already made for you when you fly. From SIDs to Arrivals and STARS, all you do is you follow the instructions on paper/Ipad and ATC instructions.

Dear Fellow Airmen, Greetings. It might feel like things are slowing down, but I can reassure you they are not.

Re: Jazz interview.

For the fixed SIMS, the YYZ one is performed at the B737NG simulator at the back of the Threshold Aviation pilot store. Pretty nice machine. Its a good idea to rent it for a few hours to get used to it if you get a Sim evaluation. I think it goes for 140$ and hour. The Sim eval is pretty standard. T...

Avoid these two like the plague. As many have stated, regardless of how the Aviation industry is...the wait is fairly long. Everyone I know that went through there did a good 2 years AVERAGE.

Its all about the math. The economy is just a small factor that is probably harmless at this point. - The majors and regionals have, up to this point, acquired dozens of additional equipment.

Re: 38 years old and never kissed a girl (Trajically Hip..;)

Never too late to join aviation. I know a person who joined at 45 years old. You will be in the older pack, but it does not disqualify you for employment. The only issue that can present itself in joining aviation at a late age, is pay versus lifestyle. Although I ignore your professional background...

Been there in those dilemma situations. Very difficult to predict an outcome. If you have an offer, take it. Like many have said around here, your real plan you have hoped for might never come. Most of hiring is done for the Spring/Summer 2016 season. The next round of hiring is not until Mid-August...
