In today's job market there is no need for connections for a first job. Just start cold calling entry level operators.

At what point do we start telling people that enough is enough?

There is a shortage, but here are still entry level positions. The good news is that the amount of time spent in those entry level positions will be much shorter for you than it was for previous generations.

Does getting in the pool come with a seniority number?

I've always wanted to join Sunwing and I am very happy that I've received a call for an interview... Is the technical part of the interview a written exam or oral exam? any info about the interview would be highly appreciated! Thanks! What sort of times/experience do you have? Just trying to get a ...

Hi All, I've got 5000 TT with 1000 on the DHC-8-100. I've also got my ATPL and an instructional background. I'm wondering how long to upgrade to Capt at YYZ these days. Also, how long to get to training Captain, and what is the pay like? With that time, you would upgrade as soon as the next bid cam...

Hi All, I've got 5000 TT with 1000 on the DHC-8-100. I've also got my ATPL and an instructional background. I'm wondering how long to upgrade to Captain and what my pay would top out at (I've looked at the salary grids on this site, but I don't understand the whole "Cap" thing). Also, how long to ge...

Does anyone have some insight about when they will start hiring for the 757 again?

Video interview was early Feb. Nothing heard back. Do they send PFO letters, or just leave you hanging?

I though that I read somewhere that industry was starting to do more training in the A/C as a result of Asiana/AF447. It looks like I was wrong.

Hi All,

I'm looking for articles/studies about companies doing more training in real aircraft vs simulators after recent incidents such as the Asiana crash at SF. I'd be grateful if someone pointed me in the right direction.

Only the required ones: Runway Crossing and Hold Short. Everything else is just callsign. It keeps the frequency clear.

If I see a picture of boobs as the first post then I'm not going to take the thread seriously, and I might question the maturity and professionalism of the poster. However looking about at the first posts I see it probably wasn't meant to be serious after all. This is a free country and I respect y...

Hi All,

I was just wondering what the upgrade times were like at Sunwing, assuming of course that one is competent.

I'm debating jumping ship from my current job for direct entry Captain at Encore. I have looked at the base pay and have a few questions. How much overtime is available at the moment? If I were to work max overtime, what could I expect in terms of gross pay (including per diems). I am assuming that ...

Pulling the pin after you've invested 20 years and have a mortgage and wife is no easy thing.

What sort of times do you have and did the invite come via email or phone call?

Retention or signing?

When I log into the Air Canada careers website and look at my jobs it shows the pilot one as 'Accepting Submissions'. Nothing for pilots on the main page though. Anyone have an insight?

Sorry, am I reading that right; 4 years to A320 Captain?

Hi,

How long to upgrade to left seat on an Embraer these days? Also, if you do it prior to the four year mark are you still on the locked in low pay or do you get Captain's pay?

Does anyone have an inkling when AC is planning on doing their next round of interviews?
