Let the slide begin
http://www.theprovince.com/business/fp/Canada+transfer+Embraer+jets+partner+Regional/7325185/story.html Well, there it is then. We are now officially starting our slide to the bottom. VERY disappointing news indeed. Sky Regional does it cheaper which will surely play out in a future bid vs Chorus /...

Re: 2012 Ground School
Question: is there a requirement to grant base changes, as per the standing bid, before offering ground school candidates their choice of bases? Or is it not looked at until the equipment bid rolls by?

Re: So any guesses as to when hiring will resume?
My last application has been "un-editable" since the end of June/ beginning of July. I would think that if they are going to be hiring that they would have a "new job posting"... But as of yet, I haven't seen any. If I were to guess, the hiring that goes on in the near future will be through contac...

Re: Q400 question
It will be interesting to see if Jazz will have a common type rating for the Q as well... Word is that TC already sees them as a common type, only reason they are separate equipment bids initially is because they are only being operated out of YYZ. Once they are spread coast to coast (this time nex...

Re: Hiring Pool
Don't worry guys, hiring is only slowed due to the fact the sim's/instructors are swaped from all the new hire and recurrent training to the point that there is just nobody to do the eval's/more new hire training. cheers +1.

General short-term industry instability? Air Transat merger + major Thomas Cook expansion?
Who knows aside from those that know (and they dont post on here).
I sure hope the hiring continues though, lonely at the bottom

Re: Where should I apply to start working ramp?
Ramp is a gamble I worked on the ramp/dock for two companies one while completing my training then moved away to work at a 705 operation. The carrot always seemed to get further away and at the end of the season I left. Best decision I ever made and Ive been flying ever since. Mike W Completely agr...

Can't comment on happenings in YZF (sorry, haven't flown there for quite some time), but as for owning up to being a pilot, do it. You will be found out eventually, might as well confess straight away!
No harm in stating your objective with pride. Fly you will sir, fly you will.

Re: A320 type rating schools
In fact, an A320 rating without time on type is unlikely to gain you employment anywhere unless you already have a contract with the carrier (and they explicitly require you to pay for your own rating). My opinion? An airline is in the airline business. Training is part of the business and a major p...
