Yes. 100%

The real question is whether they'll want you back the following year. Too many young guys don't know how to work hard these days, shy away from taking the initiative, and always need to be given directions. If you're the exception, you'll do fine.

Your 300NM flight doesn't have to be "under supervision" or the part of a CPL training syllabus. It's just a requirement for the license. But, do take the time to do it right, challenge yourself a bit - file flight plans, perhaps request flight following, land at some new airports, etc. It's an expe...

Long story short: Started my flight training March 2020, school shut down one week later, three weeks later I bought a C150, I got my PPL and flew 220 hours in the first five months since taking ownership, parked it for half a year as I had to return to my overseas home and wife for the winter, went...

Did my float rating at Air Hart in November 2021. Top notch people and one of the most beautiful areas you could ever wish to fly in. You won't regret training with them. 10/10

Curious about what kinds of dental treatments/procedures are usually covered by employers who offer dental coverage. Perhaps it's just emergency or other deemed necessary requirements, though I'm hopeful that it might cover things such as crowns, implants, veneers, etc. As I'll likely do just one mo...

Curious if that's the outfit in Vanuatu which was recently hiring. I was quite close to applying.

Great video!

LOL - unanimously decided in a non public board meeting to double salaries and you're yelling hold the line? Yeah, get your sources right. Next thing you're going to tell us in the same meeting the same board magically fixed the broken and brutal IT systems, decided to reinstate free meals on domes...

Being born and raised in PG, specifically, on the Hart Highway, this story was quite the read for me. As a kid, my friends and I would ride down to McMillan Creek to go fishing (behind the Husky gas station), and often would continue down to Hoferkamp Rd. and on up to the cutbanks. It's been about 3...

"competitive pay", "pay commensurate with experience", and "we have a new payscale" do not count as pay information.

100% agree!!!

I don't agree with most of his posts, but I would strongly be against having him blocked from posting. That is exactly the direction we are headed here in Canada -- Don't agree with someone, cancel them. Today, Covid. Tomorrow, who knows? At the rate we are going, it will soon be a criminal offense...

Exactly. The stress of it all. There's no way that I am safe to fly today, or tomorrow, ...or this month.

Study the first forty pages of the CAPGEN and understand them well. I can't comment on the AIM as I didn't study it at all. But know those forty pages and brush up on your meteorology as well.

First off, don't let all the pathetic old boomers on here discourage you. They feed off "back in my day" delusions and think everyone has to suffer in this career path or they aren't worthy. Not to mention these stupid notions that aviation is a career of "passion for flying" and you have to do "an...

Curious - which approaching opportunity would that be?

Thanks for sharing that. For those who will be studying for the exam, or for those like myself who've already passed it, that's an excellent review sheet. Much appreciated!

You're not wrong. TC is a complete embarrassment, Alghabra a typical politician serving up lip-service, and AC an absolute disgusting disaster of an airline. And the scenes from Pearson airport are an embarrassment to the whole nation. Canada's claim to being a first-world country is losing credence...
