Re: TC to FAA Conversion
There is no ride if youre converting a TC ATPL to an FAA ATP. However, even if you hold an TC ATPL, you still have to complete the ATP/CTP course and ATP conversion written exam or the ATM exam. You will have to take a checkride if you only hold a TC CPL converting to FAA CPL. and no, you can not go...

Re: Any US Visa success stories?
Hawdy ya'll Just wondering if anyone has successfully done a US visa application? Which route did they take to acquiring it?

Re: AC Pilots leaving to the US?
I highly caution anyone wanting to go through the NIW route. Lawyers will take your money for the pipe dream of being able to help get you a visa. Your best bet is through family immigration for the green card. Not to mention, should there be a flip to a republican president, house and senate in 20...

Re: All you underpaid airline pilots...
My NIW application passed. A colleague of mine also had his pass. The only thing standing between us and a green card is a medical and interview at the consulate. The major hurdle was the NIW petition. That being said, there have been many pilots who have had their applications rejected. And the de...

Re: All you underpaid airline pilots...
The NIW approvals are rolling in. I know of 9 pilots from a variety of Canadian airlines who have been approved! Now is the time if you are serious about it!! The rumor that Commercial Pilots qualify for an NIW based on the pilot shortage is false. There is no “Pilot Green Card”. Commercial pilots ...

Re: Carrier advice to get to AC
I think I know who this is... my advice would be to stay at encore and get the PIC time, then apply to AC when you meet the requirements. Like one said before, itll be less awkward when asked "why do you want to leave your current employer" and not having a middle man in there. Idk if AC would care ...

Re: US Airlines Hiring Canadians
Atlas air is actively recruiting Canadians under the EB-2 visa but I believe you need to have your FAA ATP done before they'll sponsor you. It's not difficult, just a bit expensive. Here is a good run-down: https://www.google.com/amp/s/skiesmag.com/news/transport-canada-faa-convert-canadian-atpl-fa...

Re: US Airlines Hiring Canadians
and this also doesnt guarantee a job....since you also need a valid work visa or green card (which any airline wont sponsor (99.9% of the time)) to even apply or be considered.

Re: US Airlines Hiring Canadians
The good news is that the US airlines model will be collapsing this year. Meaning, the current model of legacies having regionals with pilots gathering experience at regionals to move on to legacy will change drastically in the coming year. Regionals (and legacies owning regionals) are going to hav...

And its not a big deal to get an ATP conversion, just a couple grand. Hey, I just found out, if yall have alot of money around,...
