![]() There is pilotcareercenter that has a relatively.relatively ish up to date listing of some of the more common aviation companies in Canada. People will pitch in advice about what sectors to look into for low time jobs, they've given you the TC registrar link to help you find some companies. To my knowledge none of these (and I'm sorry to say it like this), pity posts are going to magically get you or anyone else who posts them, a job. You gotta start calling, get out to the airports, and get networking. I think that's what people are trying to tell you. I guess get a float rating, instructor rating ( be prepared to live on 600 biweekly) or get shit on ramping it somewhere for 2 years plus (you will forget what a checklist looks like and will be a FO forever) There is no shortage worldwide in fact, EU / JAR freshers head to Susi air and Africa to fly in challenging conditions. There is no shortage in Canada, lots of pilots and no entry level 200 hour jobs. This produces a huge number of qualified fresh CPL's every year keeping supply large along with ones from a flight school.Īirlines/ corporate/ cargo win as they offer 900 biweekly to a new FO as they got a stack of resumes to choose from if you are not happy with the wage, then next please. However still 100's of newbies sign up every year to those universities which offer a diploma at 100k and more for a degree. But the question is how do you get to 3000 hours when there are no jobs at 200 hours? Yes diploma holders are preffered by airlines but then airlines hire them at atleast 2000-3000 hours. Supply & Demand- Unfortunately the pilot shortage seems like a scam, believe it or not when Jazz or similar airlines announce partnership with MRU or other universities for intake of there graduates,guess who wins.Įveryone except for those grads, Airlines may pick one odd 250 hour Low time FO once in a while to indicate the success of the program. Going off topic now, this is still connected to your topic in a manner. I can bet the average time for a Navajo FO gig, is around the 500-750 hour mark.Įntry level 200 hour jobs are like winning the lottery. Lots of movement for instructors and floats right now. Then go hunting for jobs I can bet you, you will find one in less than a month. Get a float rating with 50 hours or an instructor rating, it will cost you 10 K. They are taken by 1000 hour instructors and float pilots. To simply answer your question, there are none. Have you read the sticky thread in the other forum?" And then, since you're already are planning to hit the road, as Nike commercials say, "Just Do It".Įdit: I'll also channel my inner Clippy here, and ask "It looks like you're posting about road trips. What I would personally recommend would be either a) make a solid resume that you could hand to any employer, and print a stack of them, or b) bring some sort of device with you that would let you edit it (and then stop by a copy shop in town to print it). The short answer is, if I (or, really, anyone else) tell you "Go to such-and-such place, talk to such-and-such", by the time you get there, there's going to be at least a few others that were closer - unless the job is in your back yard. Some of them might even be as simple as "hey, I heard is finishing school, he/she's a pretty solid dude/dudette" - "oh yeah? give them a call, see if they want to hop on". A lot of them might have a thought about opening one up when a pilot leaves, and might already have a list of resumes they want to call before even thinking of posting it. I'll put it this way: some of those jobs are open for maybe a week.

If one's only skill is flying airplanes though, maybe it makes sense to work one's ass off on the ramp making less money than burger flippers. We can't pay you enough to cover rent though. The trick is to be useful at something else so you have a decent job making decent money while turning down such offers as $40 a day Navajo co-pilot (That company killed 2 of the guys who took that job that year) or "Yeah we need rampies up here in Ft McMurray and you could be flying within a year. ![]() When I was looking for my first job I went through the TC Civil Aircraft Register and tried to call the owner of every commercially registered single engine piston in Western Canada. Then King Air co-pilot and it's all gravy from there. ![]() However, I never worked a ramp so here are some possibilities: My first job was skydivers at $5 a load. I'm pretty sure they are reserved for pilots who don't use CAPS LOCK.
