Thanks for the replies everyone.

 

Marc: I went via Merrit.

 

Deltacharlie: I have considered this route, and it is factored in my road trip. I have a few questions about it though, maybe you can PM me telling me more about it?

 

xrkyle: If I recall correctly my flight test was 1.7 which is the national average as well.

 

I have a chat with one CP on Tuesday, then it's driving up to PG, FSJ, Ft.Nelson.

 

Thanks everyone, Have a good day.

Well, It's been awhile since my last entry, I have met many Ops Managers, and Chief Pilots, and have not yet found a job.

 

In the mean time, I will be returning to Vancouver Island to accept a Airline Ramp position in the mean time until I can find a Helicopter job.

 

Should anyone hear anything I would be very greatful and willing to relocate on a moments notice to chase after the slightest chance at a job in the helicopter side of the industry

 

Thanks for following the blog, have a good day.

Matt you out there?

 

Anybody heard any updates from Matt on his job search??

 

As a 35 y/o fire/medic who still dreams of a 3rd career as a pilot, I was living vicariously through Matt's training blog and I am interested in how he is making out.

 

Fly safe everyone,

Jamie
