Oh i see

Great info tbaylx and Toubob

So toubob, thats how the CF works ehh...I still had to do research on how long it would take for me to get the hours i needed.\\But still, i mean i could join by next year (when im 22) stay for the 7 years i needed...ill get all my trainig subsidized and build great experinece (not just aviation experience but also military life, discipleine etc) even if its on the hercules and stuff, better than nothing.

My point with joining the CF is that I think il can be highly marketable in the future..I mean looks like everbodys going thru ground school and really suffering the tuition fees they have to pay and sounds really tough to buiild hours (on minumum wage etc) with what little aviation we have here in canada. So do u think the airlines (ie EY / EK) will view military experience highly?

I saw on AC website they just need 1000 hours of flying time....but god knows what will happene to AC 7-10 years from now! theyve been bankrupt once and very close to being bankrupt quite a few times after....

sighhhh tough decisons. is there any other way of building jet hours here in canada? I will be living at home iwth my folks i guess so min. wage is meh
