Re: Anyone else having a tough time getting hired?

However, For positions that are direct entry FO, I'll tailor it completely for the FO position, save for the very end where I add in a single sentence about also being "open to ground to flight positions and/or training bonds" if that's something the operator thinks they would be interested in hiri...

Re: Diamond Crash

TPC why would they sue? In my opinion the spin which wasn’t even necessary to attain a PPL license was initiated from too low of an altitude. I also think the student pilot was also very low in experience to be practicing spins. Perhaps the spin should have only been demonstrated once the student wa...

I believe the company recently acquired the accident aircraft and began operating it on New Years Day. 1 week in operation and an accident with 3 fatalities, very sad.

They had previously said they would cover the taxes on the shine benefits so employees realized their full value. I guess they changed their minds, standby for new manager award of excellence incoming... They should keep their shitty trinket points and pay us. [YouTube]https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Re: Moonlighting while at AC

Keep in mind that Air Canada has very little to win by allowing its pilots to fly on the side. But they run the risk of temporarily or permanently losing those pilots if they get into an accident at their side job and end up under investigation from transport Canada. So if you do this, make sure yo...

Skydive Toronto also used to advertise on the Pilot Career Centre website. PCC then learned pilots were paying for training and the job posting was promptly removed.
