702 Ops Manager
Just looking into the requirements for 702.
Does 702 ops manager requires an exam? or is just for 703.
Same for the chief pilot.
Thanks

Re: Carson Air (metro)
It's not about Carson in particular. it's about the big dogs attitude, they tend to forget their past. when young pilots ask about first job in this forum, most people tell them "don't sign the bond!" "stay away from the ramp". etc. well, each time one of you guys write it , please, ask YOURSELF, "H...

Re: Carson Air (metro)
for those of you who tell low timers that taking a 19k job is not the way to go - if you don't mind, write down at the beginning of your post how many hours you currently have. It is always easy to seat on top of the hill and tell others what to do. It is not the young 250hr pilot fault for taking t...

Re: High Time vs. Low Time?
In Canada, a 2000 hour dead end bush pilot/flight instructor and a construction guy share the same personality. on the other hand, when you talk to a first officer in Air Canada or AirSprint, it feels like talking to a doctor in the hospital. What I am trying to say is simple: personality is the ONL...

But see it's not the safe way. I mean sure, if you are the perfect employee, never late, always happy and never make mistakes then sure, it's the safeway.

Yaaaaaaaa, easy way. That's exactly how I would describe being a rampie. Care to explain how working for 2 years on the ramp(or anywhere)is easy as opposed to buying a type rating?

Re: low time guy with a bit extra
Do you really think that employers hire you to work the ramp so they can "sense your abilities" ? Working the ramp is an old Canadian method that must be eliminated. Risk: It takes 12-24 months to upgrade a ramp pilot to the right seat. 2 years of almost zero flying. later you take this young man an...

Re: low time guy with a bit extra
I just see paying for a type rating as a matter of laziness and lack of motivation and ambition. You are BUYING your way into a job. It only tells SO MUCH about a person's personality. Ok so you have money enough to buy your way in, good for you guys. This isn't the case for everyone. a 26 year old...
