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! |
Will ac hire any direct entry captains in future? Wondering if it’s possible to join as a captain or does everyone have to start as fo? If it is possible what would the requirements be thanks |

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. |

You have zero chance of getting hired at Air Canada with that experience.

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. |

I am curious though on my chances of getting picked up by these regionals - Jazz / Encore / Sunwing / Flair. 51.7% / 63.5% / 22.8% / 41.6% Without TC License and right to live and work in Canada though? 0.0% |

that's pretty nice,able to hold 330 fo right the way (am on 330 atm)
is it 330 a very seniority fleet? like very little movement, expect to be on reserve awhile? |
Hi guys,
I'm in the process of applying for a Canadian PR. TT of about 5000 hrs with 1000 hrs PIC on the A320. What prospects do I have in Canada with this kind of flying experience ? |
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.

that doesn't sound too bad if movements are quicker, the reserve game wont last too long.

Thanks for the feedback altiplano!
