Hey lidi, i am at 650-700 right now and have been applying to a lot of places ( not being picky at all) and have not received any calls/replies. I believe that my resume is decent ( i have had proof read by a lot of actual pilots/Hr agents ) Every single job is now 1000hrs from what i see with even...

Hello, I was just looking at the Flair website. It seems like on the original website, the requirement for FO is 1500TT with ATPL, but on the newer hiring page, the requirement is 1000TT with SAMRA SARON written. I'm wondering realistically is there any sense for guys with sub 1500 to apply since F...

I rarely do this, but… This company is looking for a DEC on the CRJ, listing very specific requirements including a CL65 type rating and the base salary is $63k? I work at a company where Year 1 FO is nearly $90k. What an absolute joke. This country is FKD!! You get what you pay for….good luck Voya...

That's impossible to work in US without right of work.

Background?

Do you really believe there's a pilot shortage? People have been talking for 30 years. There's a shortage of experienced pilots willing to work for paltry wages. Everyone else? Not so much. If there are zero experienced pilots in the field , the companies will choose end of operation or lower requi...

Do you really believe there's a pilot shortage? People have been talking for 30 years.

Except thats wildly simplistic. Pilots do not just replace retirements, every airline is expanding. The majors along said they need 15,000 new hires this year. AA/UA/DL/SW/FedEx/UPS/JB are hiring approx 8300 in 2022. Slightly more in 2023. So the 15000 number would be closer to a 2 year total. Not ...

I am a 705 captain at a regional. Pay is only enough if you are single, forget raising a family on regional captain pay in YYZ/YVR... What's your plan? move on ULCC and fly b737? I guess that you didn't consider AC because of flat pay . Honestly, buy a house in yyz or yvr is hard not only for pilot...

I got into flying in my 20s for the love of the craft. Now I am in my 30s with a family, mortgage, cars and need more money to support all of that. I still love the flying just not the industry. It is recovering but wages are stagnant while cost of living is out of control. What are you flying now?...

Just curious to which other careers they went into? I am thinking of leaving aviation as well and am considering my options... Why did you want to come? And why do you want to leave? Isn't it recovering? I got into flying in my 20s for the love of the craft. Now I am in my 30s with a family, mortga...

There is definitely a shortfall of qualified pilots due to the conditions of the industry. I have a hard time reading this “they can’t get people due to low pay….” This was never an issue up until aboot 2016. A lot of pilots signed bonds and stepped on the next guy just to get to Jazz … in your 30/...

It's pathetic If that's happening . Plenty of unemployed pilot in Canada.

May I ask what is TFWs ?

There are two kinds of shortage. One is crew staffing issue another is lack of applicant.
I think staffing problem is more possible.

Very few people go to Jazz for a career. Its a stepping stone to Air Canada mainline. The only airline in Canada where you are home every night is Flair, and a Captain here will make more than the top salary at Jazz (18 year CRJ Captain), and you will reach that pay year 4 in the left seat. What yo...

My apologies for sounding entitled, that was not the intention. I was simply asking a question and wanted to give accurate facts to get a better idea as restarting your life, career and leaving everything you know can be a little daunting. Regardless thanks for the advice about how companies look a...
