Re: pfo?
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.

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

Re: US Regional Hiring Australian Pilots
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...

Re: A President’s Message and a must read
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...

Re: A President’s Message and a must read
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...

Re: CFC Tuition Costs
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...

Re: Saferskies.ca, meet the lobbyists
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...

Re: Will the Canadian "pilot shortage" reach U.S. levels?
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...

Re: "Prefer a Tired Pilot to An Inexperienced one"
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...
