Not really sure why the thread got pulled. Nobody got called out by name and there was no vulgarity, nothing damaging was said. Just the same as the other threads in this forum. If that Ornge thread can exist....
The main jist was that the pay is not good and people are leaving, not just up, out. At the same they are asking for career instructors.
These forums should be used to work in the interest of your peers. If there is a job advertisement that misrepresents reality, somebody in the know should call them on it, without being malicious of course. Many of us would hate to see someone (inexperienced) get suckered into poor pay and conditions with promises of professional development that never happen.

Re: OAS is Hiring
I think the industry is picking up quite a bit. A bunch of pilots I know have been sucked up into Westjet/AC/Porter so the FO'S are being hired straight out of flight school with low time. Ive heard its similar at alot of other small operations around western canada.

Re: OAS is Hiring
They like to keep a pool of First Officer candidates, according to the news. Keeps competition high and wages low.Air Georgian must see something they like.
If there will indeed be a pilot shortage, the flight training industry is preparing for it by saturating the market with airline-ready "airline immersion" students. There's a four-letter organization where flight schools and airlines meet together-they discuss how best to keep your working conditions down on the dirty linoleum. This airline immersion from hour zero crap is what they came up with. This should worry the paying public as training is shifting heavily from how to fly a plane to being a knob-turning, employer-obedient monkey.
