hey desksgo you know what they say when you "assume" or maybe you don't. either way, I never been fired from a job in my life and I would never run with a PPC. but since you seem to know all about it I won't bother getting into the reason. thanks for all the helpful tips.

yeah, nexjet or regency went out of business before more hours could be had....desksgo wrote:You have a fresh PPC but only 25 hours on type?
You do understand what your potential employers are going to be wondering right? (fired or took the PPC and ran).
There have been numerous Navajo adds lately. I think National was one.
Good Luck, you lucky boy

Orca Airways in Vancouver will be hiring an F/O and a Captain.

That's why I didn't assume anything but just stated the obvious, thought it might be a bit of a hurdle. Anyway, another company for YOU to look into would be superior airways.merlin wrote:hey desksgo you know what they say when you "assume" or maybe you don't. either way, I never been fired from a job in my life and I would never run with a PPC. but since you seem to know all about it I won't bother getting into the reason. thanks for all the helpful tips.

Nexjet had 3 pilots on an HRDC program, and I'm sure HRDC has paid for a few more PPCs, just because a person didn't pay with their "own" money doesn't mean it wasn't "bought."and don'e worry I didn't buy it.
and we know the Quebec college trains on the HO, so maybe they give you a PPC in the program too, so, that too would be "BOUGHT."
Hello,
I have to respond to cyyz's comment, so here's a parenthesis on the CQFA (Centre québécois de formation aéronautique / Quebec flight training centre), mostly known here as Chicoutimi College.
Chicoutimi College cannot provide its students with PPCs as it does not have a 703 OC. And most likely never will.
Being against subsidized education in general is one thing. Associating the College and its alumni with the purchase of PPCs is quite another, and downright insulting.
(You can keep on reading for more info on the College itself)
The college program has entry selections (40 admitted yearly, out of 250-400 applicants, this has varied somewhat over time). And while most of those chosen complete the program, it is by no means easy. Pay attention in class and study, or risk failure.
First year has no flying in it, and is mostly dedicated to general college course, such as French, English, physics, math and philosophy.
The first half of year two is where students begin flying, making their way from zero-time towards a private airplane licence to be completed in the second term of year two. The type used for this training is the Beechcraft BE-23 Sundowner, a low-winged four seater powered by a 180 hp Lycoming O-360.
The second half of year two is where specializations are chosen, and some theory courses done separately. Specialty flying begins in year three.
There are three specializations one can choose from:
-Multi-IFR, with all multi and IFR flights being done on the Piper Navajo 310. (22 grads in class of 2005)
-Bush-floats, with all float, tailwheel and ski flying done on the Cessna 185. (6 grads in class of 2005)
-Helicopter, with all helicopter flying done on the Bell 206 Jetranger. (8 grads in class of 2005)
Like all other public college programs, it is paid for by the Quebec government, and like most other collegiate studies diploma (DEC, diplôme d'études collégiales) programs, allows entry to university, in this case with certain restrictions to which programs as it is classified as a "technical" 3-year DEC. (Technical DECs are usually meant for entry in the workforce upon completion, whereas two-year pre-university DECs aren't)
All instructors hired by the college have over 3000 hours TT and many years of experience in a variety of operations.
Maintenance is top notch and I've never had a problem asking the AMEs questions to make sure I understood things properly.
As far as costs go, students have to pay yearly fees, books, aeronautical publications, materials and living expenses. 4000$ apart from living expenses for the three years should be in the ballpark.
Hope you enjoyed this (lenghty) bit of information on the Chicoutimi College,
Now back to our regular scheduled programming...
Goodbye,
Louis
