TSRA;
This is a fantastic quote and very well put. Too many pilots (myself included) get stuck on the idea of command. But one has to do the hard yards first! I've finally accepted that.
On another note, any AC pilots who can give me some info on rosters etc? Seriously considering emigrating to Canada Eh, and would love to find out the finer details of AC and if I would be eligible should I get my PR. Yes, I have the flight time requirements, would have to convert to TC ATPL tho.
Thanks in advance!

They've done it in the past on the RJ, but I doubt you'll see it now. Upgrades have to be offered to people on the property first.

I am somewhat in the same boat as Flyboy.
TC license conversion aside, what are my chances with a 1000 hour TT with 700 + on jets. I've recently stopped flying as the company I worked for has closed shop.
My preference is to fly jets in regionals. Although turboprop is also welcomed if I can get a placement easily.
Ive been told that it can be a bit challenging to enter a jet cockpit without a Canadian ATPL.

I think with 1000 hours and jet time you have a chance of getting hired at a regional or possibly vacation charter operator or ULCC. ie. Jazz/Encore, or Sunwing/Flair.

Yes, I am not looking to get hired by AC at this low time experience.
However, if its jet flying in regionals - I am quite happy with that gig, as long as there is healthy time building.
I am curious though on my chances of getting picked up by these regionals - Jazz / Encore / Sunwing / Flair.

Historically yes, quite stable, but there's been lots of changes in the 330 fleet over the past several years. Bases closed (YVR/YYZ), bases opened (YUL), bases reopened (YYZ), new aircraft added... plus there is a lot of movement through the right seat of most fleets on recent bids.

Do any of these categories fly the A320 family by any chance?
