MEOB Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 A little off topic but if operators/customers keep "requiring" a crazy amount of hours on type, total time ect...... they will all have to be foreign because every pilot in Canada or anywhere for that mater will be either retired, passed on from old age or unable to get a medical probably because of old age!! And there will be a dory load of people with licences more than capable of doing the jobs but can't because he or she does not have a million hours. Sorry just my little rant for the night.

Winnie Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 pretty tough to meet the 500 IFR/Night too for most of us, even for us working IFR and NIGHT in the Arctic... But that is a requirement I DO understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilles Posted June 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Air Transat always posts that they require 4000TT for new FOs. But often we hire below that because we are unable to find candidates with that amount of time and because some pilots with less than 4000 TT have quality time, sometimes even on 705 Operations such as Jazz. If they had used that as a sorry excuse for hiring TFWs, about a third of our 450 pilots, if not more, would be foreigners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambox Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 It's like selling a house........... You can ask whatever price you want, but will only get what the market will bear. That said, nothing wrong with shooting for the stars! R... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crosstube Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 First thought that came up to my mind when I read the Ad was, they have somedody already with this exact experience Foreign or not (hard to get a Canadian with this kind of exp.) but but they put the Ad just to be on the legal side.

just looking Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Considering there are only 6 EC135 in Canada i would say this ad is all about a foreign pilot who just happens to have exactly what they are looking for. Just waiting to reject all the resumes so the can go to the federal government and get the Visa approved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
