Two questions:
- ZORX - if you have previous experience with Skyservice could you please elaborate on why you feel this way?
- just curious,...why are so many British accents heard over the airwaves in Canada from the Skyservice birds?

For a Canadian, you sure sound like you're speaking, or at least typing, English as a foreign language.
Has anyone else noticed that Canada is a nation of immigrants?

The Brit accents probably arrive in November and finish in April to assist with the busy period.
Canadian accents are then heard in the UK from May until October when they assist with the busy period in the UK.
Great experience for both sides, thoroughly enjoyed it myself although you might hear others complain. Only problem is that Canadian Guinness is a bit watery, might have to go back and confirm that though!

Which base were you at?
You're welcome back any time. The relationship, while hardly perfect, does allow both companys to be more profitable, which in the end is good for all of us. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that the imported Guinness is a little watered down. It will do in a pinch, but I much prefer a pint straight from the taps at Duffy's in Malahide.

Hey Safety Guy,
I have heard great things about Skyservice also...and I can confirm Canada is a great place to work and fly!! It sounds like you work for Skyservice so perhaps you have some insight into if they are planning any hiring or if any groundschools are planned for the near future.

Sorry, but I'm afraid you're asking the wrong guy. I have no inside knowledge whatsoever when it comes to hiring requirements. Just another line guy, and the less time I'm near the office, the happier I am (them too, I'm sure!).

Hey Torque2...thanks for the reply.
Just wonderin' if you could tell me a little about the bases the Canadians work from in Europe, and the type of flying they do (destinations, lifestyle, tour operators represented).

They dont operate as a Skyservice separate entity but fill in at Dublin and Luton for FCA and BFS, BHX, CWL, MAN and NCL for MYT on charter work to the Med and general holiday destinations during the summer period. Cheers

Asiancanucks, nice of you to show how keen you are to follow the great Canadian tradition of politeness.
Which of Canada's official languages is also the internatinal language of aviation? That's right, it ain't French! Frankly, if you are an immgrant yourself, you should glad to have someone point out the hypocracy of one who complains about "to much foreigner pilot" (or too many foreign pilots, if you prefer to speak English correctly).

Who told you that i am a foreign pilot?
i am born here , my dad is born here we can go 20 generations!
if you are an immgrant yourself
what is a immgrant?
you think your english is perfect like yourself? funny
I work almost all my life outside Canada because is to much foreign like you say pilot here!
but you are right it is wrong to say what all we think inside, and for that i am sorry!
I am not against foreigner i say loud now i like them
, and for your info i am married with a foreign woman.
So, what is my point? we have more then enough of pilot here why to take more?
but we need doctor , nurse etc!so take job that need employement why to bring foreign pilot when the local pilot dont have jobs?
I do have years of experience on foreign ground, when the local dont work anywhere in the world is no foreign pilot intake, that is normal!
I love Canada but i cant work here and believe me i have enough jet experince to work anywhere! do you think that is normal?

Canada won,t be back
737 JOCK oh sorry Air Transat a squeeky wee charter outfit much like that skyservice cowboy outfit.Yep did I mention another problem amongst the other social problems your industry produces.Bankruptcies.Ya baby pay your money take your chances.What is a unemployed pilot good for?Pumping Gas.Driving bus,waiting tables at earls.In Britian the private pilot starts are down 10% and I don,t think alot of youngsters coming up feel positive about all the bankruptcies in the industry,especailly when companies like Oxford air training want to con $150,000 out of new students.
On the positive end with less new entrants perhaps that looks good for the few seats available left in "Canada"Kids can dream about retiring with westjet
Or be a skyservice captain
Perhaps Air Canada might become a legitamate business once again without tax payer support.
Or Canada could do the smart thing and surrender it,s soverienty to the best country in the world USA BECAUSE CANADIAN ARE SIMPLY YANKS WITHOUT GREENCARDS

Dorx,
If your critism towards Canada was more constructive you might stand a chance at earning some respect. I must admit I some what envy you for flying in Europe, but I'm afraid Europe as well has fallen victim to the low cost mentality. No wonder pilot training is down 10%. What's there to look forward to? Typically only one type of equipment your whole career and more or less short range flying. And a salary which is also very limited compared to a flag carrier. The flag carriers in Europe are no different than here in Canada; financially strapped, eroded by the Walmarts and constantly merging with someone else. You see Zorx, it's not just a Canadian problem. We are still lucky enough to have cheaper flt training and easier entry into the job market here in the great white north. I don't think it's about to change. For any young pilot want- a- be it's still the best place in the world. As for beeing Americans, you really don't know much about Canada.

The derogatory remarks about Skyservice are ill informed.
Until you work for them and realise that they supply a wet lease aircraft to their holiday companies on a very short notice, and do it well, and also accept the short notice cancellations or immediate requrements, then you can't understand how the workforce helps the company to make a profit.
They do what charter companies should do, ....fill a market niche!
Good luck to you all there and keep up the good work!

Brucelee
Well in europe it,s generally a steady paycheque,home at civilized hours and enjoy civilized temperatures.Canada well I guess your right in what you say but it makes me wonder why your country advertises over here for profesionals to move and work there,and why lots of ex-pats return from some of your more charming villages.
Still I,m sure what the rumours are about Air Canada are not true,the Canadian taxpayer would never suffer the embarressment.
OH brucelee I noticed Aer Lingus posted a profit.Perhaps your canadian executives would like a page from their business book eh?
