From a business standpoint, charter vs. scheduled means selling the use of an aircraft to someone vs. selling seats. I've flown scheduled charter, we did not sell seats but we operated on a scheduled route. We simply provided the aircraft to the customer to fill the seats as they saw fit. We got pai...

$500 million is the value of the business, not just the assets. Not only would someone be buying the infrastructure, but they would be getting the fee tagged onto each passenger coming through the terminal (2-3 million pax per year), money from advertising, money from rent from PD and SKV, rent from...

I can answer one of your questions, 12 months, then you must reapply.

I am surprised this is allowed with passengers, based on the restrictions I've seen on various STCs for major external modifications.

If you have experience on a type that FSI teaches, they are probably your best bet for money and long term employment. Most guys I know there are very happy. Downside is you'll be flying a simulator and a classroom, however there is nothing wrong with that some want to keep flying in the real airpla...

For the DHC-7 I've heard about "Moose". Several other guys who used to work at Time Air also called it "Porcupine" because they were always getting hit or walking into something when working around the planes. The DHC-7 is sometimes referred to as the "Quad Otter". Afterall, its original design was...

As BPF suggests, Cedres is likely your best bet, or for a longer jaunt there is also Cornwall farther down highway 20/401. CYHU would be terrible to get to from the CYUL side of the island, especially in rush hour.

I think there are certainly opportunities out there if you look for them. These days you can definitely you math skills in designing programs for use in flight deck or operational software, or work related to what the flying business is doing. An example from my own experience is in airborne survey,...

Currently staying at a crash pad near YYZ but looking for something closer to YTZ.

Thanks.

Is it true they paid out profit sharing for the last couple of years? If so, that's a pretty good indication that things aren't bad...

1000 hours is what they would like you to have (instructor's have got on with less). They are interviewing a lot these days so might as well! Why would instructors get on with less? It has been my experience in hiring at several different companies that 1000 hour instructors are about the bottom of...

So you never had to pay any money to work at VAL? Correct. No money ever transferred from me to VAL. Even if the money doesn't go to voyageur's pocket and in escrow? Correct. No money was ever transferred from me to VAL, or to an escrow. You never took out a loan that VAL would pay for inuding inte...

No cash up front. This has been discussed extensively in the previous Voyageur thread. Where people get this false information, is beyond me.

It's been many years, but back when I did mine I walked my application into the Ottawa office and walked out with a signed temporary. Do they not do this anymore?

I would never send a logbook in the mail. Can you email it to them if it is electronic?

They are living in Moncton. There's a phenomenon of pilots originating from down east who do all they can to return. There's not a whole lot of work for pilots out east, so when they get a job there, they tend to stay long term.

Plenty of topics have covered this previous. When they called you did they specifically mention overseas or was it both divisions 703 and 704/705? They only have 703 and 705, and the only 703 is the medivac King Air in New Brunswick. It'd be nearly impossible to get into the Moncton positions as th...

Ottawa is not busy enough nor is the weather often poor enough to require a CAT II.

QA is a TC mandated position. Not sure what the big deal is here? Lumping multiple jobs on a CP or DFO is not the right answer, especially when it comes to QA.

Sander Geophysics in Ottawa has two Islanders, although they are BN2Bs.

Porter already does a pre-interview via video recording your answers to HR type questions before they fly you to Toronto for an in person interview. They don't replace the in person interview, just do some screening ahead of time. This being said I haven't heard of anyone doing the video interview a...
