Re: Ramp Jobs At YVR?

Hey Bro, Check Orca, they take low time guys working dispatch/customer service agent then you get in the right seat of a Navajo, pretty good job for a low timer in YVR. Pasco is a good option for the ramp, you'll meet some good people, but it won't lead to flying job right away, you'll have to get 1...

Re: Sim Evaluation

Depends on the company and what kind of type you will be flying, but some companies are looking for crew co-ordination in the sim eval as well. How well do you communicate with the other pilot?

great place, very frinedly and they'll give you lots of personal attention.

I'd also recomend checking out the single pilot IFR requirements. If you are low time, you might have a hard time meeitng them. Some single engine IFR machines are flown single pilot, like the Caravan. Just a thought
