Any advice really appreciated;
Currently low time Canadian CPL holder trying to find work groundcrew, flightcrew, anywhere. British citizen. I've been looking into converting licence or do additional ratings in Canada and still don't know which way to go.
Been down the FAA route to get intrument, instructor etc, but cannot get J1 visa 'cos already hold a CPL.
Been down the JAR route for conversion and IR, CRM etc - for reasons too long to explain here, i cannot get an unrestricted JAR class 1 til July 2005!
Done the 12,000km Canadian road trip east to west operators with resumes to no avail.
Most Canadian FTO's suggest for IR you do most of it on fixed wing + simulator and about 5 hrs rotary - does anyone know who offers a program in Canada that does this?
Furthermore does anyone know of an operator you can throw your money at (mountain, IR, external load) that will at least offer you a ground crew postion on completion .
Any other suggestions to get a foot in the door somewhere(anywhere) gratefully received.
Cheers
Decimal
