ABQ Approach Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Looking for a school in Ontario to train Has anyone trained at great lakes i took a intro ride on a r22 and thinking of doing most of my training on a r44 seems there is more potental for low time r44 jobs 5 schools in Ontario (in order of size - I think): Gateway National Canadian Silverline Great Lakes If your weight suits it, the R22 is the way to go over the 44...costs a lot less and is basically the same aircraft with less power, 2 less seats and no hydraulics. I don't think it will make you that much more 'hireable'. Still go with the 10 hours turbine at the end. That will make you more attractive for the first job. Goog luck! PM if you want any more scoop on the area schools. ABQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FBPILOT Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Hey Guys My only advice is try going to a school that is attached to a charter outfit that hires its own students it will increase your chances of being hired off the bat. Give 120% effort while attending the course and threat it as a job interview all along. 100 hrs is still 100 hrs wether in R22 300 or enstrom!
