    I can't believe it. How did this happen?

    There's an another factor that you forgot to think about. It's called timing... sadly you submitted an application during an economic crisis and right after we recruited alot of pilots. Putting wings on those new bodies takes time and at the moment the system is pretty full. It means that the...

    Technicien Médical Héliporté?

    J'ai déjà embarqué des infirmières volantes. Si je me rappelles bien elles venaient de Greenwood. C'est une spécialisation qu'il faut aller chercher. J'en ai vu peu jusqu'à présent. Par contre, je vois pleins de SAR tech à la job  ;D C'est peut-être un cours qui se donne à Winnipeg car ils sont...

    sélection du personel naviguant

    Salut Dan,               il n'y a que toi qui peut faire ton choix. Je ne sais pas quel est la période d'attente en OJT (on job training, c'est un genre de stage) car si elle est relativement longue, tu pourrais faire ton cours de pilote commercial ou ''refresher'' de privé. À ce sujet, seul le...

    sélection du personel naviguant

    Salut Dan,               effectivement, si tu as échoué le simulateur tu dois faire la preuve que tu t'es amélioré pour le repasser. Par conséquent, une licence de pilote privé te permettrait d'avoir une autre chance de faire le simulateur. Si tu fais une licence commerciale, tu n'as pas besoin...

    What happens to fighter pilots' brains at high altitudes , BBC News

            The selection is a very complexe process. There's alot of stuff put into considerations as for exemple: course ranking, attitude....         As for my personnal experience, I was surprised to be one of the youngest on my course in Moose Jaw at 26 years old. Wich mean, there was alot...

    Cormorant problems

    Good day dapaterson,                               correct me if I'm wrong but you are asking if it's heresy that the CF close the Airborne School and leave the SAR support (I guess all of it, FWSAR and RWSAR) to the coast guard because we don't do CSAR? Why should we leave the SAR world because...

    SAR Tech

    As a SAR pilot you go wherever the CF need you. Usually you are posted to a SAR unit then get your rating on type. After that, you do your SAR conversion and off you go on the flying schedule. The trend is that, if they need a pilot of a certain aircraft type, they can go get somes people in the...

    "So You Want To Be A Pilot" Merged Thread 2002 - 2018

    Please please please! Don't get into a pissing contest! It's all about how you fit into a community or if the said community wants you... Each one has his positives and bad sides depending on your point of view somes have more negatives than positives... As for who fly the most, well it's like...

    Do I take the pilot offer??

    Joining the flying club is not for everyone. You'll have to sacrifices alot, for example: being away from family for 8+ months for a course... It's alot of work but at the end it's an awesome job. For me personally, I don't have a job, I am living my dream. I don't count the hours I spend in...
