Hi,
I am currently in the middle of the Canadian emigration process and hope to wind up on the West Coast sometime in 2004 (assuming all goes to plan).
I hold an UK PPL(A) and have always harboured ambitions to move into an aviation related business. As I am the wrong side of 40 I doubt that a traditional airline career is on the cards. The question is 'what are my options?'.
After converting to a Canadian PPL I would like to do a CPL/IR and float rating with a view to:
1 – Developing and improving my flying skills
2 – Starting, or buying into, an aviation related business (preferably where I can do some of the flying)
3 – Convincing 'Front Of House Management' (AKA 'She who Must Be Obeyed') that it is safe to fly with her husband.
I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has attempted a similar transition or who may be willing to provide advice about opportunities for flyers in Western Canada.
