Re: How long until you hear back from AC?

No doubt they are scratching their heads and wondering where the 5000 and 6000 hour pilots with large airline command experience and jet time went. But I doubt they are doing a single thing about it other than yelling the board that they are hiring another McManager to analyse the trend. The word i...

Re: Lynx Hiring process

I saw their job ad not too long ago requiring a Canadian Passport which might be one of the reasons why they never gave any feedback. However, that ad was deleted right away and reposted saying that now they require a Canadian passport or Work permit. I believe by law they can not discriminate based...

Re: Jobless during the shortage!

I would suggest trying 703/704 or Medevacs in MB. Lots of operators there require pilots. Try going to the PCC website and searching for different operators there. Even if it's Navajo or Caravan it will improve your resume significantly. Try Vanguard/Fast, Perimeter, SkyNorth, Wings over kississing,...

Gander Flight Training

What is this? I thought that today is April 3rd and all jokes are gone but apparently not. I can't believe it. There are so many ways to enter Canada and get immigration documents. Whoever is applying there should expect that these people won't keep their promise of paradise. http://www.avcanada.ca/...

Re: New application

If you have jet time expect to be called especially if you have E1 time.

If no jet time, try applying for Dash. Be mindful of fleet lock which is 24 month as of now. Might change in the future though.

Good luck!

Re: Cessna Caravan C208B initial training

Depends on what you need. If you just need PCC, you have to find a company in Canada and pay them to teach you. If you need a PPC(for single pilot IFR), I would go to Flight Safety Wichita cause you need 6 hours of sim. In any way, you have to find a company in Canada in order to get trained and get...

Technically yes. Some operators do PCC for FOs and if they don't have any available they will send captain by himself. They should have it in their AOC and if it's multi crew they will develop SOP.

Re: PC12 Pay

It depends.

Ornge jut posted PC12 FO with 46K. That's medevacs. Charters or shed FO would be around 35K and CA 65K+retention bonus.

Overall it's super easy and fun airplane to fly. Just need to find the right company.

P.S. RCMP is 100K but that's a different story.
