typically how long are the lay overs?
Are they usually shorter for their Northern destinations?

I heard each pilot is assigned to a "relief pilot" role that rotates every week or so, meaning that if you're the relief pilot and you just got landed from JFK at 4am and the pilot who's suppose to do the day run (CYHM-CYQG-CYHM) calls in sick, you as the relief pilot has to cover that day run, and ...

I really like the schedule and that there's a base in YHM, would any consider Skylink a "career place"

There's a school in the Milton / Burlington area still paying their Class 4's $20 to start, Class 3 is an extra $1

Anybody care to share what other FTU's are paying?

good to know..thank you the replies.

Whats the schedule like for new FO's? Many nights away or home most nights?

Happy new year everyone.

Is it true all new hires are based in Yyc and Yhz first?
Anyone know how long it would take on average to get back to Yyz?

Thanks everyone.

Now that I my Cpl and IFR I got my pcc on their plane and fly when my ramp schedule allows me to go fly. The plane doesn't fly that much to b...

Low time guy with an opportunity to do about an 150 hours a year on a single engine turbine while working in a different full time position for the same operator. However I need to build as many hours as possible and considering leaving to become a full time instructor. Not sure what the better road...
