Canadian Work For Pilots

[jas600]

Does anyone here work for Hydro One? Or has anyone worked there in the past?

Biggest problem with Hydro one (and it is not a problem, just a hurdle!) is that you need a MINIMUM of 3000 hours (or is it 3500) and long line experience to be even considered.

 

VERY strong company to work for, and you'll be limited to working in Ontario.

I got my CPLH in 1999 and they were talking about huge growth for 100hr wonders back then and still no change. As a matter of fact I heard recently that something like 85% of licence holders in Canada never fly again after graduation.

 

Now having said that if helicopters are your love then stick with it, its worth it. Just a thought, get a FAA licence also and then you can start droping resumes around the world. I know that can be a touchy subject on this forum but it works. There are places right here in Alberta that can issue both Canadian and American commercial licences for well under $50k Canadian. If I were starting from scratch again I would hope someone would give me this advice. But of course any where in the world its always true " A hard worker in the right place at the right time gets the job!"
