Re: Want to work in Canada? Read this first, please!

Seems to me that if you don't have "Status" in Canada you should not have the right to work.

Examples of...

Re: Pilot Shortage / Minimums /disconnect

Let me rephrase the last part of my remarks, I said: "Agreed that some are beginning to get it by lowering the minimums and giving new pilots a chance.

Re: Pilot Shortage / Minimums /disconnect

To all: What an interesting and insightful thread I've created. All of the POV's expressed either positive or negative on the state of the industry and the overall job market were very helpful.

Pilot Shortage / Minimums /disconnect

So I've been out pounding the pavement as a 500 hr, CPL, GRP1 IFR, Multi and IATRA pilot and I keep running into companies that are still holding on to extremely lofty minimums ie: 1500, 2500 hr minimums.
