TopFuel Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 I am also lead to believe...transport now says, that to have a a ATPL qualifying (twin engine, 2 pilot) PPC ....you have to be an employee of said company. If true, that narrows it down to .....um, medivac, and about 3 companies in all of Canada. Does that sound right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treetopflyer Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 I haven't flown commercially in Canada in many years but I imagine the list is a little longer than 3. Examples include...- Helijet (scheduled airline, charter and air ambulance)- London Air Services (charter)- STARS (air ambulance)- Canadian Helicopters (air ambulance 76 EMS in Halifax and VIP Quebec)- Helicopter Transport Services (North Warning contract)- ORNGE (air ambulance)- Cougar (offshore and SAR)- CHC Global Ops (still with some operational control in Vancouver) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopFuel Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Like I said...about 3 or 4 that are not medivac! My point being,,,,it is kind of tough going for that good job, and you arrive un qualified because you can't get a check ride (ppc) until they hire you!!

treetopflyer Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Sorry, I read it that you thought there were only 3 total. None of those companies are going to expect you to have a PPC upon hire; if you get the nod they're going to give you training and a ride. That's the norm. Your vfr background, attitude, perceived ability to upgrage to captain etc....all hold a lot more weight then a current PPC especially when you haven't been using it operationally. ttf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
