No, AC does not hire anyone with restricted ATPLs. That's because no such license exists yet, but times are a changing. Highly unlikely. It's more of an insurance thing than shortage of pilots. And the shortage itself has always been for pilots that can be upgraded in a timely manner, not the total...

I think you might have a couple options: 1. Get a PIC PPC on the cheapest multi-crew Level D sim you can find, regardless of airframe type (lots of work and expense); 2. Go do an IPC on a cheap multi at a flight school. This will get you the restricted ATPL. Maybe someone in the know can advise whe...

Or the best course of action for people is to actually do research and not be lazy. It’s shocking to me how many repeated questions we have every month. You wanna be helpful @flieslikeachicken, then answer the guys question How the hell did somebody asking a question on a PUBLIC forum that may or m...

Here we have yet another rookie who wants the answers spoon fed to him before looking up VERY accessible and plentiful information that already answers stupid questions like these... Buddy. Read the chats. Literally dozens of people have said how long things are taking. Also, we live in a dynamic w...

Anyone have predictions for Vancouver positions in the CMSC in June? I'm guessing there'll be some 787 positions. That combination is probably the slowest moving in the whole company. Most recent class is 31 new hires and all for YYZ and YUL, with some RP spots on the 777 & 330. The widebody positi...

I find most of the “influencers” are from a certain demographic that coincidently is the lousiest skilled pilots that I have worked with. They also have a tendency to land airplanes upside down. Ooopsies I wasn’t referring to female pilots. Ironic For every influencer from the demographic you two c...

Be patient. No news is good news. A friend of mine who was interviewed in the summer of 2024 was told to come back for a second interview which didn't happen for a while (close to winter) after the first. But eventually, it did and he got the job. So everyone who is waiting can take a breath because...

Dr. Magee was my CAME for 11 years until one year I tried to contact his office with no luck. That's when I realized that he finally decided to retire. I mean, last time I saw him, he must have already been in his 70s. The best doctor I ever knew in my life.

SOPs 2.20.3

MrA

With AC's pension plan(CWIPP) and stock buying/matching program(ESOP). You saved way more money at AC. Also don't forget benefits and insurance are 100% covered at AC. Like above already mention, YOS don't carry left to right nor from dash to E2 (unless you have more than 10yr on dash) Current CWIP...

Wait... what? Is Keith selling this?

MrA

Why would WS pilots consider AC and not the USA? Can't quite tell if you're being serious or sarcastic...? :roll: MrA My money is on not understanding the challenges of getting a green card. If only I could convince my wife to let me marry an American to "secure" our future... :cry: MrA

:mrgreen: 200 hours cadets? It looks like some mid career FOs from WS may be considering the move due to mismanagement at WS. Transat has lost some appeal due to long term stability and Porter hans't fired up it's Embraers yet. So I think the pool is still decent 705 experience, with some 3-4K 704....

The headline says $590k, but the story says $300k. Which is it? Both - the 300,000 is the increase for FO's. American is matching the new Delta deal with a 40% raise.... So By year 4, narrow body captain tops at $475,000, wide body captain $590,000 annually. https://twitter.com/cbs11doug/status/163...

Pilot in waiting shouldn't even exist in today's hiring environment where everyone is short pilots... If the flow to the 705 is in theory continuous, I don't understand why 702/703 operators still have pilot in waiting There's no shortage of fresh off the flight school 250-hour pilots, never was. T...

Why don’t you run excel on your Mac then? Better yet, why didn't the seller just say to download Excel for Mac before purchasing the logbook on their website that clearly mentions "works with Numbers"? That's false advertising in my opinion. Not going to spend another $160 to get the Office suite f...

Bought one for PC some years ago and it worked great. Got one for my MacBook recently and it's pretty shit - the Excel formulae don't transfer well into Numbers on the Mac.

MrA

Nothing has been announced regarding a western base, all speculation at this point.

MrA

Oh ok , I guess I’ll throw my resume in the trash. Thanks for the update A medically fit pilot is a pilot, no matter the age. The only difference will be years of service you have left in you until retirement which also restricts how far you can get in the industry. You'll most likely never get to ...

Yes, but only as a DEC on the E2 with an existing E1 common type rating. Oh ok , I guess I’ll throw my resume in the trash. Thanks for the update A medically fit pilot is a pilot, no matter the age.

Well, you cannot operate multi-crew aircraft without IATRA or SARON/SAMRA. So yes, you absolutely need it unless you plan to instruct or do survey flying on a 172.

Many instructors have joined Porter over the years with only single-engine piston time as long as the total hours requirement was met.

Porter has a minimum requirement of 1000 hours for the Q. Seen a wide range of new hires from 1000 to 2000-2500.

MrA

Any insight in regards to the next Q ground schools and their frequency? Got my interview tomorrow was wondering, if successful, when I can expect a GS date. Thanks all GS for the Q are running every 3-4 weeks to keep up with company expansion and internal movement expected to take place to the E2....

Do you have any idea why you failed? Your experience looks good. I have a good idea, yes. But their response is always the generic “we don’t provide feedback but you can re-apply again in 6 months.” Time to move on. MrA Can you share? I think there're plenty of candidate in the pool at the moment. ...
