Re: Drug / Alcohol Screening Test

You pee in a cup for drugs and blow in a breathalyzer for booze.

Don't drink the day before you go, and you're fine.

Re: Next steps after getting to atpl minimums

I emailed them my logbook, pictures of my exam results and my license, as well as my type rating.

I got my ATPL sticker in two weeks.

I was at 2600 hours, but it was quick.

Re: Cameron Air CYTZ

Last I heard, your compensation will be 35,000 / year. You will have the opportunity to fly the right seat in the PC-12NG. And after about a year on the 206, you can go to the Caravan. And then after a year of that, you can be a dedicated PC-12 crew. Note that this info is from 2021, so some things...

I worked there for two years and loved it. The flying is fun, you meet interesting people, and the planes are all in good shape. They have a very busy PC-12 now as well.

ATR hiring?

Are they really gung-ho about the multi time for FOs?

2500 hours, ATPL, 1500 turbine, but no multi, really.

I’ve never had an answer from an email…. Can anyone shed some light?

Not a wheel should spin until they are back on property. Under what legal principle/right would a unionized pilot have to deny the employer his/her services?

Re: Float flying prospects?

NW Ontario and Manitoba. Email everyone you find on PCC a resume and then follow up.

That’s how I did it at 225TT and 25 float.

You’ve got almost 100 hours on floats. That’s a Beaver job in some places.

Does anyone know if the aircraft in question had one of the upgross kits? I don’t think it would have been overweight on this flight but I’m more curious about the effect of years of an upgross kit applied to a plane and it’s effects. It did, but it was the 8367 pound one, and not the other (9000 p...
