Yes the official program may be closed but they are still actively hiring experienced controllers from other nations. Your best bet would be to contact the Manager IFR Training for the unit that you are interested in.

YIKES!!

It's canceled.....if you are looking on the intranet course schedule it is horrifically out of date.

May 2011.

All upcoming IFR ab-initio courses for the YYZ ACC have been canceled until May 2011...yes 2011

If I had to guess I'd say at most 20% have any sort of pilot experience.

I stand corrected....


I just reread the briefing that went out and I saw the "no plans" line but does anyone remember the wording of the actual clause....or is there one?

The rumour is false. Hamilton Tower is NOT closing. It's even in the latest Collective Agreement that Navcanada will not close any towers during the life of this contract.

If you are that concerned about CAATS, file something with Transport Canada. I do agree with your point that Navcanada's emphasis does not seem to be about safety. (At least I think that's one of your points) This has become evident lately is numerous aspects of the day to day operation of Air Traff...

I can see it now.... Sitting in front of a board over the horrible loss of separation only weeks earlier. The question is asked, "Just what were you doing at the time of the incident?" I was chatting with my co-worker and having a coffee at the time. Not focused like I guess you're supposed to be So...

what is your background? are you a controller?

disregard

Here's the actual audio

Controllers in Toronto do NOT have access to RSC's. That ended about 2-3 months ago.

Just something that may or may not have played a small factor in all this. The controller sitting working JZA on that night would not have had a RSC for CYYB. Starting about a month before they went off the end the controllers no longer had RSC info for any airports in and around that area. FSS only...

I would only imagine that the course would be shortened. The IFR course went from roughly 6 months to 8 or 10 weeks.

Well now that the precedent has been set if I were a newly qualified FSS or about to enter training I would think that the $1000 should be refunded, conditional to successful training. The Union should be jumping all over this.

Management here in YYZ informed the controllers, that all ab initio training will cease after the current course until sometime in 2010.

Rumour around yyz is that all ab initio training will be suspended until 2010 due to the airspace restructuring project.

not too shabby

Special vfr can only be authorized at night for a fixed winged aircraft to land.

The copters can fly all night though.

Under the old system trainees were paid while attending training and were generally happy, it used to take a good 5 or 10 years before people turned bitter........... now..........Navcanada is going to to have an entire generation of young bitter employees right from day one and eventually the numbe...

say again

or even better.........

I find it's the phraseology that creeps across from my little ATC life into my real life.
