Re: Delta Warns Air Canada

The only foreign pilot Delta wants is to staff their regional. Delta mainline is getting on the well staffed level, classes are 13 weeks wait from CJO. They are back to 2019 staffing levels and are just hiring for attrition and expansion. There's a lot of qualified applicant at the majors. TPIC nor ...

Re: United, Delta or American?

I’ve been working in the USA for a while. Convert your license ASAP with your type ratings. If you have education, do an equivalency evaluation from NACES. If you have the chance to work for a major take the first offer and don’t look back and try to pick the best one. All of them are picky ne they ...

Re: US Airlines Hiring Canadians

The good news is that the US airlines model will be collapsing this year. Meaning, the current model of legacies having regionals with pilots gathering experience at regionals to move on to legacy will change drastically in the coming year. Regionals (and legacies owning regionals) are going to have...

Re: AC Pilots leaving to the US?

There's a need for pilots in US, regionals pilot that is. Majors are filled with applications from competitive US pilots. Most visa that are offered will be sponsored are referred as non-immigrant visa. So your visa is tied to your employer. Be aware that regionals are offering extensive money right...

Re: Delta to drop degree requirement, why won't it happen here?

Delta dropped the requirements, but your application will score way higher with a degree, Even if you don’t have tpic. I do see CDN pilot we Ilene to the US, but most likely to fly regionals. Legacies are most likely still be reserved to Us citizens. The way it might happen is through TN visa, addin...

Re: Is this the end of Sky Regional?

Very sad to see someone create a post about this.

The airlines industry doesn’t need this kind of attitude right now and there’s no excuse on wishing other co-workers pain to make you feel better.

Re: The Return to Normal?

Hello everyone, Slightly off topic here, but I wanted to know how is Air Canada limiting capacity in their aircraft in this crazy moments of COvid. Example, United caps passenger at 70%, but available seats are showing on their website and the standby employee portal. Is this the same thing for Air ...

Re: USA vs Canadian Airline Career

Without a relative or spouse in the US, you would have very slim chances of getting a job in the US. Even the Australians now are not getting job with their E3 visa and some face problems for the 2 years renewal, because their employer has to prove that there's a need for that individual and they co...

Re: US or Canadian Regionals: Which are better for a low-time pilot?

I was and still is, in the same situation as you. Both Canadian and Us citizenship. What people are saying on this forum is true, life is better in the USA right now for a pilot. I always compare my situation to my friends in Canada flying for regionals and major, there's always something better in ...

Re: FO taxiing

Cargo companies in the states have their fo taxi. I was jumpseating on a atlas 747 and a brand new Fo during his first flight of IOE was taxing the beast of 747. He really did good.

Re: Does Canadian Airlines request PRIA records from US?

Currently work for a US carrier and live in Canada. To answer your question, I’m positive that PRIA records can only be requested by another US carrier. The request form needs a US faa carrier certificate number. Commuting gets old fast, some carrier will allow you to jumpseat internationally on you...

Re: Jazz Reqiurements?

Hi,

How about having some single engine turbine IFR (caravan) as a first officer, do they still require that multi turbine 2 crew environment or single turbine is fine?

Thanks !

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some clarification concerning the pilot mobility agreement. http://www.airlinepilotcentral.com was recently updated for AC and Jazz and it specifies that 80% of ground school spot will be from Jazz. Is this referring to the pilot mobility list (PML) or is it a new agreem...
