Northern training and airline selection

Post by iloveflying321 »

Hi there fellow aviators!

Do 705 operators care where in Canada someone does his training( location)?
I am planning on getting my CPL (A) up north( territories) and my end goal is making it to the airlines in southern canada like porter or jazz.
I am also trying to get my instructor rating up north with the same flight school. I will try to accumulate close to a 1000 hours as an instructor, but my concern is if northern training is tailored towards "bush flying " and if that might have an effect on airline selection.
I have someone to stay with in the territories reducing my living costs significantly thus my training in the north.

Thank you all!

No they won't. If anything, northern training might help to get your first 703 job.

As an AvCanada discussion grows longer:
-the probability of 'entitlement' being mentioned, approaches 1
-one will be accused of using bad airmanship

Great move. Do it.

No airline cares which school you got your license at.

it's important to ensure you also gain experience in environments similar to airline operations, such as flying in controlled airspace and handling passenger flights. If you're accumulating close to 1,000 hours as an instructor, that will be beneficial regardless of where you train. Just make sure to supplement your experience with multi-engine and IFR flying.

Not at all. Your experience afterwards is what matters. I'd hire you during the early part of your career because you lived in the North vs another grad with a 416, 905, 519 area code.
