Ok maybe i wasn't clear.
If you post a question about paying to fly and not receiving any form of salary on a canadian forum don't be suprised if you meet with some hostility. Sorry that point was lost in the first post.

Tbaylx,
Don't bother trying to reason with him. He doesn't seem to be able to understand much. He has the mindset of an eight year old child.
What I can't understand is why doesn't he just stay here in the UK where there are lots of jobs for pilots with no hours - and they pay well, instead of going to Canada where there is a perpetual bun-fight over jobs. He probably can't pass the psychometrics.
No doubt he will respond with another silly post - wait for it....

Easy fellas...
Relax boys. He's asking for some advice, as most of us pilots have done in the past. When it comes to tellling some European to stay with EZY or FR....easy boys.....they both pay more than AC or WJ!
As an Air Force guy currently in the Uk, I am embarrased by your responses. Relax guys, and give some real advice.
Right now you're all acting like a bunch o cocks...though there are no decent paying jobs for non-Cdns in Canada....sorry dude.

Take it easy Cheez. Stupid question with a reasonable response followed by a dumbass response. I too am a Canadian who worked in the UK for a few years and this guy comes across like my 12 year old daughter.

Cheez,
Sorry if you are embarrased by the responses, but as far as I am concerned, he asked a question that didn't actually make a lot of sense, hence the first response which was to ask basically what he was talking about (geniune). The response to that was rude, cocky and frankly p*ssed everyone off. He does not deserve "advice". I actually thought it was a wind-up at first, but looking at his other postings I can see he is genuinely like this. I also wonder if he is a young (angry) teenage boy, looking at the way he writes.
Malc4d, for your info, there are some bizjet companies here in the UK that fly N registered aircraft so you can operate with an FAA licence. As far as courses go, you have an FAA licence so go to the USA for training! Where does Canada come into any of this? They use Canadian licences there! OK you can convert but WHY would you want to?
And a bit of advice for you - sarcastic responses on the internet do not come across that way. They make you look like a d*ck.

Don't post while drunk!!
Guys,
After re-reading this forum in a more "sober" frame of mind, I can see that some of the hostility towards him is deserved.....
Sarcasm never works well online!

Oh MY GOD................
When l wrote the question, EAGLEJET had a banner at the top of the page offering f/o training in the US.
Sorry but i though everybody knew what f/o training was......... my responce was (i thought), back to a sarcastic reply. I'm sorry to the poster....
Had you all come back with positive comments instead of sarcastic as most of you came back with, it would have been nicer, why the personal abuse ???
1) Went skiing in Canada and liked it....... thought it would be nice to do some flight training there. (not soooooo sure now).....
2) Have you tried to train in the US (as a non-Canadian) ? Visa and TSA.
3)I had read that it was easer to get this in Canada, hence the visa question.
4)l would like to get more flight time in bigger/faster aircraft to feel safer/confident.
5)My other postings ? have l been rude to someone ??
So again sorry for asking the question on a profesional forum.
now wheres my teddy
THE END

Not looking for a p!ssing contest but:
Have you thought about doing the JAR "conversion"?
I was pretty much in your position ie. European with FAA licenses and sitting on a couple thousand hours. It took me 4months from first day of studying JAR ATPL until holding a freshly signed JAR CPL with ME-IR privileges.
My guess would be that flying 200hrs Beech 1900 on your FAA ticket, will not make you more employable in Europe. I have spoken with quite a few pilots on the N-registered turbine equipment in Europe (used to be one) and the experience level is generally VERY high.
Now with both FAA and JAA licenses it's a different ballgame. I landed a job with a reputable corporate outfit, paid rating and decent T&C.

Thanks for the info and pm picmas
Have thought about it, but at another £20000.00 to 30000.00 ( and still no job, l do read the posts about jobs ) i hoped that l could do on an FAA ticket first, convert if and when needed later........ie when l had the money.
Did you manage to help mahi ?

I'm sure £20-£30K is a VERY high estimate. I would estimate £5-£8K, I paid roughly £7K and the training is more expensive here than in UK.
It will probably also be worth it in the long run, having "local" licenses.
You can still work while studying ATPL, find some cheap distance learning course, memorise all the answers and get it over with.
I never heard back from Mahi....

Malc....I have been looking for the same sort of thing and my best shot is at Eagle Jet international in Florida USA. Canada is alittle too scanty for that sort of training.

Troll. I know I shouldn’t ……but I will. Siggggghhhhh
I would suggest to you not to come over here. You would last about one week into line indock with that attitude and mouth and then you would be fired at best, or taken behind the shed at worst. Drink you tea and stay where you are and don’t waste our time over here.
