I think that there would actually be a pretty good chance that a company would hire you. It will depend on each company as to what your 'status' would be with regards to being in line for a flying position. I think for most companies however, having a rampie whom they know will stick around for a li...

Living in a new city without flight benefits, I went searching for a new Medical Examiner so I could renew my medical. I lucked out and found one at the medical building that's just a couple blocks away. Sweet! I'll be able to walk there. I booked an appointment and after getting everything sorted o...

also, does anyone know it it really even matters if you have physics when applying to the college, i know they all want you to have physics but does anyone know if you can still get in with out it? You'd have to check with the individual college. However, in my case (back when Ontario had OAC / gra...

No need to freak out. Just need to do a bit more research that's all. The guidance counsellor may be able to help, and if not, recommend that they get my book "So, You Want to be a Pilot, Eh?" so he or she will be able to help other High School students who ask for help about becoming a pilot. There...

Just to add - If you're in your last year of High School and the College applications are coming up, it'd still be worthwhile to apply to a few of them. The application fees are not that expensive (although they're still more than they should be!) and this way you'll have more options if you decide ...

Hey Fitzy, You're off to a good start with getting your PPL through cadets. Not only are you surrounded by other motivated cadets, but you get your licence for free and make great contacts in the industry! Although I wasn't in cadets, a number of the folks I flew with were. Deciding which route to t...

It's all good, it's still a really new program and not a lot of people have heard about it.

Just a friendly, neighbourhood, internet b@tch slap

To the previous poster, University of Waterloo has brand new Aviation & Geography and Aviation & Science degree programs done in conjunction with Waterloo-Wellington Flight Centre. Perhaps you should take a look at their website and do a little more research before posting an answer again. :wink: ht...

Dujan, Thanks for the interest in the book. While I'm admittedly biased, I think the book gives a good broad overview of things to consider before starting out in this industry. You should still try to talk to as many pilots as possible and find out their point of view on things, but I think overall...

During my time at Seneca I had a pretty flexible job where I'd work 12 hours each weekend. That worked out well as I was able to make a little extra cash and on slow days could do homework. This was between 1998 and 2001 so it was before the degree program. It may be hard to hold down a job that wan...

Not sure about the degree thing, but I know of a guy who has roughly 2000 hours and no ATPL. AC called him, but they wanted an ATPL and as a result, he didn't get an interview at this time.

To the folks that have bought the book, thanks, and I hope you've enjoyed it! Just a heads up that the book is now available on Chapters.Indigo.ca I had received some specific inquiries regarding availablity on Chapters. As well, although not listed yet, it will be available through Annex Bookstore ...

As of a few years ago they didn't. I suppose this may have changed now that the industry is better.
