November 20, 201213 yr Author The problem, he must love to live in the Emirates or Qatar. If you can not be a pilot for Emirates without leaving the country (USA) . It's complicated Click on your username on the black bar at the top of the page. Click "Manage Ignore Prefs". You can add any user and ignore their posts. Ok

November 20, 201213 yr EK is a great airline I heard from a family friend who is captain on the 380. He was originally from Toronto. Since DXB is the base for all EK pilots they gave him his own condo in Toronto on top of the expat beneficiaries for when he flys to Toronto. However, yes we have to build quite a few hours before we can even apply whereas CX has a cadet program where you can at least apply for there cadet program with a minimum PPL or less. I wish Air Canada would open up a cadet program lol

November 20, 201213 yr In Canada, it's easy to become a pilot for WestJet or Air Canada. Yes McCarter it is easy but also difficult. What I mean by this is that in order to get into AC or WJ you not only need there minimum hours but also have to beat the hundreds of other applicants who may be even more experienced flying for 703/704 operators. Also since there are so many pilots in Canada it's more difficult to get a job. I know us pilots will get there eventually but I wish there was a cadet program to speed up the process like EK and CX.

Are you pilot for WestJet/Air Canada ?
November 20, 201213 yr Are you pilot for WestJet/Air Canada ? Nope, hope to one day. Just on my CPL at the moment. Got this information from my instructors who are Air Canada pilots. How bout you?
November 20, 201213 yr Author Nope, hope to one day. Just on my CPL at the moment. Got this information from my instructors who are Air Canada pilots. How bout you? Soon I like Alaska Airlines, Air Canada, WestJet Airlines, Emirates ... . But difficult to choose.
November 20, 201213 yr Soon I like Alaska Airlines, Air Canada, WestJet Airlines, Emirates ... . But difficult to choose. Yeah, mine would be Air Canada, WestJet, Emirates or Cathay Pacific. But I just don't know what to go for. I really love living in Canada, but I also really want to fly heavy aircraft which Cathay and Emirates offer. AC has heavies but as you probably know, chances of being hired onto a heavy with AC is slim and you will have to gain seniority to bid for the heavy aircraft.
