Degree

Hello, although we’re probably a while away from recalls and hiring, I was just wondering how much Jazz cares about degrees? I’m about to graduate from one of the Jazz App colleges here in Ontario, about 300 total time, but no degree. Just a diploma from the college. I know I probably won’t find a p...

CPL Flight Test before Written

Hi all, There seems to be some confusion going around at my flight school, some instructors are saying you can currently do the CPL Flight Test before the Written and some are saying you can't (like usual). Others are arguing about it. I've heard there's an exemption on Transport Canada's Website bu...

I've done several out of CNC3, although it's been a few years. It's really quite easy. Leave the circuit, and request flight following from the appropriate centre freq. Tell them you're headed for a city tour. They'll likely give you a heading and altitude to fly that'll keep you clear of any troub...
