CBC Marketplace is even investigating how dirty AC/WJ/Porter are.

How long until one normally hears back after an interview? Its been over a month and Ive heard nothing.

Maybe they are just really backed up, waiting is no fun.

.

Is the digital interview just a screener for the face to face, or is it all online these days without a face to face?

In the past few months, I know of quite a few part 121s hiring Canadians as well, and taking care of their visas. They’re getting pretty desperate. Good way to end up in one of the majors there though, do a couple of years at a regional like Skywest or endeavour and go from there. What companies ar...

Could it be that they are simply creating a bank of qualified applicants, for when they begin link operations? There have been weekly PASCO postings for a while now. Has anybody actually started the evaluation process? I talked to some colleagues today. We determined we know 6 people who also appli...

At least thier are still some reasonable voices who are also addressing the fatigue regs. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/myth-vs-fact-canadas-proposed-flight-crew-fatigue-rules-milt-isaacs/ Myth vs. Fact: Canada’s Proposed Flight Crew Fatigue Rules Published on Published onFebruary 2, 2018 Milt Isaa...

I also applied to PASCO not too long ago for a FO job, although I would qualify as Capt. Funny, never heard a word back either. Go figure, I didnt know much about them but I feel like this opens my eyes. Although I keep reading articles like this that make my blood boil, I'm actually pretty happy to...

Never work for free. Any school that advertises unpaid coop's is a place to stay away from. Makes you wonder where they are cutting corners. Safety and self respect would suggest you follow the money, something isn't right. Those jobs should be going to pilots who need them. CFC should be ashamed. I...

KF Aerospace is a well-established Canadian Air Carrier, Engineering & Maintenance Organization and Military Pilot Training Organization with nearly 1000 employees working out of 5 bases across Canada.

That's just gross. Coles notes version is "safety is expensive, email your MP that you don't want to pay for safety" The sad part is that I noticed a lot of comments on social media from the average joe who had clearly taken the bait. They were fearful of ticket prices going up and their local airp...

Saw this on social media. Bullshit at its finest.

Even a flight school is offering a $2400 signing bonus now. Good sign of things to come.

Google : TN visas for Canadians non immigrants. Get a job offer in writing and pick up the work visa on the way to the airport :) "Pilot" is not an eligible profession for the TN visa according to: https://www.tnvisabulletin.com/tn-visa-general-occupations and http://www.nafsa.org/_/file/_/amresour...

Its a shame we continue to let this happen to our industry. Those who do not stand for safety need to be removed. We all need to group together to improve working conditions across the board. Majority of pilots agree with these fatigue issues, we just need to execute a plan to deal with it. Enough i...

Transparency seems to be an issue here in Canada. More often then not you need to know somebody before you get any real information about salaries, benefits, even bonds. Many pilots blindly apply to jobs, then don't know what the conditions are until the interview, or perhaps until the job offer. Th...

PilotDar, respectfully, I think you may be missing the point. In my opinion its not so simple, it goes quite deeper then you may imagine. Bonds can be problems for many reasons. Many pilots have taken them because they felt like they did not have better options. We have the upfront bond, and the tra...

I'll never understand why half of the pilot community insists on shooting themselves in the foot. 50% believe bonds are ok, and working the ramp is totally normal. 50% believe that bonds are sleazy and the ramp work undercuts pilot wages and value. In my opinion, we should all be working together to...

This is done all over the world to varying degrees of success. Hell, the military does the same thing with little experience and it works out just fine.
