I've done that for plenty of people for free, because I like to help and a few buck isn't worth a bad rep.
That being said I'm in the only major pilot group in the country still laid off, and things aren't looking good, I just know what looks good on paper. The shoemakers kids....

BUT, my intention to help new pilots is pure. I don’t do it for free because 1) free is usually sh!t and you get crap results. 2) I’m great at producing results for you. 3) I’ve helped over 100 pilots get jobs which really is my legacy.

Weren’t you PFO’d and only hired when they changed the PML rules to ‘must hire 90% of those who apply’?

Apply to AC. But be warned Jenny will send you an email saying not to do a prep course because they are HR professionals and can tell a canned answer and they will hold it against you.

You’re number 1 reason for this course is because “free is usually shit”, as if somehow paying for it will make it not shit? Just by reading your website, I wouldn’t even give you a single Russian Ruble to write a resume for me.

For all you aspiring Air Canada pilots out there reading this…please do yourself a favour and skip this guys prep course. There is thousands of us who got hired never having to spend a dime for “advice”. You can find enough information on Avcanada if you take the time to look for it to get you through the process. Also, there is no shortage of pilots willing to give you all the information you need for free without ripping you off $300.

100%

That guy lacks credibility in a big way. Wannabe influencer or something.

Anyone that's up and coming is best to avoid him. There have been other pilot interview prep services in the past and the interviewers can see right through it. Air Canada knows who has the prepped, canned answers and will not hire you.

A big part of this business, and particularly this position is the community that we are. During my time moving through I have been helped and mentored by countless people from co-workers, to friends' dads whio were at the show, to even many people on avcanada, and nobody asked for a dime for their effort or time because someone did it for them too...

If anyone has questions or needs some suggestions from someone on the inside, I'll do it for free. PM me.

Recently from Jazz? You must be very good because they didn't offer anything for the past 2 years...

If anybody wants advice, let's grab a beer and we'll figure it out. I'll even pay the beer !

Odd, I thought you were a laid off Air Canada pilot who leveraged a current 767 PPC for a temporary position at Cargojet and subsequently made a video about calling all your "friends" who you haven't spoken to in YEARS to beg for help? The same person who one week claimed that Air Canada wasn't for them, made a video supporting that claim, and then immediately jumped ship when the opportunity presented itself? The same person who made a video processing how much regional pilots make while inflating numbers with overtime and perdiems.

Or am I mistaking you for someone else.

Seriously though, don't reach out to this guy for his paid "mentorship".
"Set up a mentorship meeting to prepare you...."

Anyone else get the feeling that said meeting will be held at Arizona's, with him leaving you pick up the tab?

I guess you weren’t around 25 years ago when it was 100%?

Most of those hired during that incarnation of ‘flow’ are WB CA now.

It is what it is. All North American major carriers have some version of a flow system.

A PFO'd pilot who got in the back door after they made a quota for flow from express. Worked at AC for a matter of months before being layed off. Inside information and going to prepare you for the psychological exam? Haaaaaa!

Forget Arizona's with this guy, you'll get more "mentorship" spending your money down the road at The Landing Strip...

I honestly think it was a terrible decision. The complaints I hear from Captains about the incoming Jazz pilots are shocking. My personal interaction with them has been minimal but I recall during my PIT course some struggled to even complete the exam at that end. It's an open-book exam, using an iPad with a search function.

This clown and so-called “captain kirk” (lower case intentional) needs to be continued to be called out for the charlatan that he appears to be.

Many years ago over a beer a fellow rookie pilot wisely stated that when that magic day comes that we move up the ladder, our role was to “reach down and grab a fellow aspiring pilot’s hand and help him onto that step you just vacated”. Tragically he is not around to kick this guy’s sorry @ss for being a selfish mercenary. In fact I have seen too many cases of that hand reaching up being stomped on.

FFS I have been in this racket for 35 years and it’s such a great feeling knowing you played a small role in helping someone get a start or onto the next step up that ladder. It was done for me way back when, and I will continue to reciprocate as the torch gets passed.
If you need money to justify that, well, you are a disgrace to the term “professional” and make a mockery of the term “mentor”.

CSM and his 2 cents, which is hopefully more useful than throwing $ in another direction.

I think he possibly got the idea from all the "mentors" these days selling courses on getting rich via online businesses such as Drop shipping, lead generation, and Amazon FBA. Unfortunately I have a few friends who have bought into these and they all end up losing money.

In my capacity as a training captain and line pilot, the vast majority of those who have come from jazz are competent and professional.

I was never at jazz,
