Choosing a Flight School - Career Path
Hello everyone,
I am going to Canada soon to pursue my aviation career as a pilot.
I am graduating university in Engineering.
I do not have that great experience about Canada as a country or the Canadian licensing paths, so I would like to have some insight on that to help me choose mine in a flight school.
- To work in Canada at first at a regional carrier (like Jazz Air or others) What am I expected to have under my belt?
- What are types of licensing are there and what they give as far as job position?
- I have come across many flight schools (Brampton, MFC, ProIFR, Langley..)
which is a better choice? how does someone decide?
- At Brampton, they offer IATPL, is it a waste? How can I unfreeze the ATPL (other than instructing)
- Why would someone go for a CPL (and what comes with it like IFR and Multi Engine) instead of an IATPL or an ATPL course? What does this make in finding jobs?
I know, too many questions all at once. I really am kind of lost and actually terrified about the whole process.
