It was ~6 hours total when i did my copilot PCC

Anyone doing this based out of YHM?

also interested...

looks to me like they already had a very specific candidate in mind..

It's more the "pilot in waiting" idea in general. While I don't have an issue with it per se , it's the uncertainty around it I abhor - The "6-24 month waiting time, depending on company demand" caveat. I don't think that practice is acceptable. Now if, on the other hand, the arrangement is "you wi...

[/quote] Thanks for your response Were you and others offered jobs immediately and did the program and diploma help you at all or was that a ton of bullshit to get you lured in.

Just really interested in the BCIT program myself but I don’t know if it’s hard to get in. Does anyone know from experience and can you give me a overview of your experience of the programs and getting in? Thanks Did BCIT in 2016. It isnt really made public how many in total apply, but I think out ...

I did my training in the last 5 years and completed my last ATPL exam end of 2019. I never bothered buying the CX-3 simply because I am cheap. I used my buddies a few times and yeah they are great. Really if you have the CX-3 you can probably afford a paper e6b as backup anyways. Its silly to argue ...

Abbotsford Office, January. Two weeks for the call that it was signed off, three for the sticker. Just barely over a lot of requirements.

I wonder how many, out of the hundreds of applications they are sure to get, will actually be current.

For a low time pilot, Kenn Borek is hard to beat if you have a hankering for some adventure and don't mind being away from home for 6-8 months a year. Yes it is still rotational, but only once you are out of the office. It's anywhere from 6 months to a year before getting a seat on the Twin or the B...

Anyone have some up to date info on these guys? I've noticed that they post quite frequently for a variety of locations

Pay for both Capts and FO's?
Schedule?
General Morale?

Cheers

You’re already trained up at your current company and get to stay at home? I’d stay right where you are man. Not worth having a record of screwing over a company like that, especially to make a sideways move to be doing essentially the same thing. Cessna time is cessna time, but there are a lot more...

I see your AOC is still listed as suspended by the agency. Do they do that for all "voluntary" shutdowns Steve?

KD Air is just now saying they voluntarily ceased operations, however CTA website is saying the suspension was been initiated by the agency (TC) back on January 23rd. I wonder if they have continued selling non-refundable tickets in that time frame.. https://forms.otc-cta.gc.ca/licences/licence_eng....

If anyone is considering this, feel free to PM me if you are looking for info on the company as it is run by the new (may 2017) management.

I would love some info on the c337 gig if anyone would be so kind to post or PM me.

KD down from 13 pilots in april to one 500hr captain a couple 250hr wonder copilots with fresh PCCs and has no CP. All flights cancelled today...

I have a question about PasCo. I’m in Edmonton and just started building PIC doing pipelines. But I’m from Vancouver Island and ultimately want to work with someone like Pacific so that I can live my west coast lifestyle and fly for a good company long term. My question is, I know they have posted ...

Any idea what break even would be with them charging $130 a seat?

703. Standard Sched (recently revised) is:

4 Days on: Days are usually divided between two crews, average 7 hours on if all goes as planned, 3.5 hours logged.
1 Day Standby: 1 hour call out, usually on for 9 hours before being released.
2 Days off..

Seems to be working pretty well so far

I have heard a couple "rumours" that the Redbird Sims no longer qualify for doing IPC's.... Anybody in the know on this one?? I wasn't a huge fan of the "Tilt-A-Whirl"... but they provided an affordable option for training & renewals. Yup, redbirds are now out. For example, currently training in BC...
