Re: airlines posting ground job ads

And that's why those ground positions are filled with entry level pilots, right? And they have such a high volume of resumes from new entry level pilots, I don't even understand why they have to post separate job ads for these positions at all Hi folks, Been applying to every entry level pilot jobs,...

airlines posting ground job ads

Hi folks, Been applying to every entry level pilot jobs, no response for about a month. However I notice some airlines with ground to flight programs posting separate job ads for ramp or other ground positions. What is up with those? They can't hire an entry level pilot for those roles and put them ...

Re: Logging Night XC for ATPL

Those logbooks are generally American style which does not break things down as good with XC etc. Myflightbook is good, excel is good too. They should accept it, no different than hand written or a special program. Yes looks like it. I just searched for US ATPL requirement and didn't see those nigh...

Logging Night XC for ATPL

Hi folks, I've been thinking about how to properly log night PIC and night XC. I'm still training and I was looking at my Foreflight logbook, and it's showing a total of (something like) 58.0 PIC, 8.3 night, and 44.4 XC. Just from these numbers, how can you tell how many hours I have for night PIC, ...

Re: Airspace questions

2. for places labeled as such: E6500ASL, E7000ASL, etc.. Does it imply Class B over 12500 in these regions? Yes. The E6500 tells you class E controlled airspace begins at 6500 asl. But class B airspace is defined as all lower level controlled airspace above 12500 MSL. Since the controlled airspace ...

Re: Airspace questions

1. what is the airspace at St. Malo (6 miles south of CPJ6)? Upon checking the VNC and VTA I would say Class G from ground to 18000, and obviously class A from FL180 to FL600. But upon checking the Lo chart, this airspace is still designated as controlled as it's a white open area. Why? Class G to ...

CPL preparing for FD exam?

Hi folks, I recently passed my CPAER exam, any recommended materials for studying the FD exams?

Pilottraining.ca offers an expensive option with what I guess would be an overlap with CPAER.

Thanks!

Re: Do they hire pilots with open work permits (PGWP)?

Yeah sorry you're right, there was PR involved for them after a few years. I think there was an extension though but they had already applied for PR? So they could extend it while waiting? It was a long time ago that kinda rings a bell but I might be off. 703 flying in Northern Ontario and Manitoba...

Re: Move to Yellowknife?

I'm considering the same thing and would definitely love some northern flying experiences now or later!

But how did you guys land a job there in the first place? Did you pay personal visits to the airline offices to talk, worked on the ramp first, or what?

Appreciate any information!

Re: Do they hire pilots with open work permits (PGWP)?

I know a few pilots who got jobs flying with their PGWP. You'll be fine. Work right are work rights, and they're easy to extend when you get near expiration. Really?! Would be great news! Do you have any idea or mind sharing what companies they worked for, or at least what region? I'm willing to go...

Re: Do they hire pilots with open work permits (PGWP)?

A PGWP isn’t unrestricted because it’s of limited duration. Employers may be unwilling to employ you in a permanent position because they don’t have a procedure in place that would enable them to terminate your employment at the end of your work permit. Fair point. But most flight schools have no p...

Major local airlines might be a problem but there are alot of small operators that posts pilot vacancy with one of its requirement mentioning *Must have the right to work and live in Canada*.

Re: Road to CPL/MEIR

I've contacted TC licensing, and I don't think foreign dual may count towards Canadian CPL dual. For someone who wants to do a Canadian CPL (not converting one), he/she needs at least 35 dual and 30 solo under the supervision of a Canadian instructor. That said, were you able to locate an FAA CFII i...

Hi vov4ik_il,

were you able to find an FAA CFII for an IPC? I'm in the same situation. I'm in BC but I'm willing to relocate for the IPC.
