Re: Any US Visa success stories?

:smt014 Hi I did the video seminar with them and they will get you employment but the cheapest they come is at $26k plus plus... you gota get an FAA ATP on your own and such. You will have to committ to cape, amerijet or the other one for a year and then you are free to go anywhere. Sounds fair but...

Denying Overtime

So now that the company is whining about it, it seems to have some sort of effect. Denying voluntary overtime is NOT illegal as far as I understand. I guess the union had to say something but maybe they could have made it clearer that denying overtime still keeps us within the confines of our contra...

Re: Air Canada Pilots Pull Out

25% is fuckall im sorry... we can do alot better. Especially at the bottom end. The company can easily afford to pay every captain 50% more today everyday. They just dont. And they love the fact that most pilots are beaten into thinking that they cant. Now at the bottom end of the pay scale... dont...

Re: Air Canada Pilots Pull Out

Who has the most to gain from an ‘industry’ contract? A newbie. A 25% pay uplift is worth way more over a 30 year career than a 10 year (remaining) career.

Re: Any US Visa success stories?

Anyone on here successfully got the EB-3 employer sponsored visa through a US employer or employment agency? I looked into it and apparently there is an employment agency (OMS) in Florida that offers this service with Cape Air and Amerijet. It costs quite a bit but leads to a green card if successf...

Re: Backpain

I also just switched to the 737 and noticedback pai starting. I do not use the lumbar support and it helped. Also my physio gave me a tip to keep the arm rests up and it will unconciously force you to sit i the centre and not lean to one side (I also have neck pain) which has really helped. But yes ...

Re: Any US Visa success stories?

Exactly, from what I understand the big part of the application is finding the right evidence and portraying it in a way to prove that you are of national importance. I am not sure if I would know how to frame it because apparently using the pilot shortage card is not enough to get the visa approve...

Re: Any US Visa success stories?

I was actually going to give it a shot although I think if I try myself there are probably lower odds of success. There shouldn't be. Who cares more about your future: you or a lawyer? I imagine there are quite a few people online that share their experiences. I never did the US thing, but I see a ...

I literally had my interview at the US embassy yesterday. If you look at my post history, you can see I have been on this for about a year now. I tried the Frontier route first, but they couldn't make visa work. Finally I know have it. (and a job on a wide body in US) But yeah.. I have 5 figure log...
