5 schools in Ontario (in order of size - I think):

 

Gateway

National

Canadian

Silverline

Great Lakes

 

If your weight suits it, the R22 is the way to go over the 44...costs a lot less and is basically the same aircraft with less power, 2 less seats and no hydraulics. I don't think it will make you that much more 'hireable'. Still go with the 10 hours turbine at the end. That will make you more attractive for the first job.

 

Goog luck! PM if you want any more scoop on the area schools.

Hey Guys

 

My only advice is try going to a school that is attached to a charter outfit that hires its own students it will increase your chances of being hired off the bat. Give 120% effort while attending the course and threat it as a job interview all along.

 

100 hrs is still 100 hrs wether in R22 300 or enstrom!
