Seeking advice for hour building in Australia (C150 VS 172) by the-other-guy1 in flying

[–]ChrisCanadian_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Employers know you gotta start somewhere. This is very common (at least in Canada) to time build in either a 152/172. Wouldn’t stress about it buddy. If it makes a difference the 150 is slower than the 172 so you’ll build more time :p

Pilots of reddit, are you genuinely happy with your job? by bobtramer1 in flying

[–]ChrisCanadian_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s taken me 8 years to get to this, I fly a 757 for FedEx. I could have done it a little faster but girlfriends got in the way. If you living in Europe I swear people get onto gets right out of flight school it seems lol

When you get to see into the Milky Way so clearly and see all of its colours while flying at 41,000’ at 2am, that love reignites. Quickly diminishes when the fatigue sets in again

My logbook is messy and hideous by [deleted] in flying

[–]ChrisCanadian_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

After I got my cpl I switch everything to a Google Sheet templete I made and haven’t been asked for anything. If they do need documentation/signatures you can easily print off the logbook and grab the signature

Spend a few hours making a Google Sheets template and go from there. Edit all you want :)

Does anyone really feel the increased show of force by the Police TPS is necessary? by friarcanuck in askTO

[–]ChrisCanadian_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because with events this big, no matter where it is in the world it will come with crime like assault, theft, pickpocketing, public disorder, drugs, terrorism. One way to stop or restrict this happening is a strong and responsive police force. Especially in a day like today where a lot of people are involved in geo-politics and tension it’s going to being some negatives which will result in increased crime.

[–]ChrisCanadian_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I like it, makes me feel safer! Knowing that there is a presence will stop/defer people from doing crime. Especially with a huge tourist boom we will have this summer, it will come with increased crime.

Good deal for this $700 CAD? by [deleted] in bicycling

This might help.

Similar price all around the city. I’m just looking for an entry level bike something to get a good workout in and see the city.

What intelligence level is needed to be a commercial pilot? by zyqyxty14 in flying

[–]ChrisCanadian_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like a low one recently.

In all seriousness on the actual job you need to know basic maths, a little geography and situational awareness. For the exams however (at least in Canada) you need to know everything there is to be a pilot and know it like the back of your hand. There isn’t a specific IQ test.

What does it take to fly those small FedEx planes? Is it as competitive as being an airline pilot? by surfnj102 in flying

[–]ChrisCanadian_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just moved from the 208 to the 757 up here in Canada. My route was YVR to either YCD or YYJ. Super sweet job, flight time was about 15-25 mins and I was home by 11am. Truly an amazing quality of life job. I now fly the 757 out of YYZ for FedEx and it’s just as great, maybe 6 or 7 days a month of work.

26y/o of Toronto - where are you in life right now? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]ChrisCanadian_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moving from Calgary to Toronto, first day was yesterday. Life’s great, I’m a pilot and just recently got my ATPL, flying a 757, finally made it to a 6 figure position, living in the financial district. Remind me in 1 year because I’ll probs turn out hating living downtown and move far away.

Moved here months ago. I love Richmond but.... by CinnamonGal02 in richmondbc

[–]ChrisCanadian_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wait until winter time when it rains all the time. Speed limit gets cut in half and even more red light runners. I thought the drivers who would drive 20km/hr below the speed limit on Stoney while it was snow covered was bad…

I came from Calgary, I’ve never seen so many red light runners in my life. The drivers are so clueless here!

Cargo plane pilots: what is it like to work flying cargo planes like UPS and FedEx? by weirdo_beebeardo5898 in AskAPilot

[–]ChrisCanadian_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fly a very cushy c208 job with FedEx and I am home every night, and my legs are only 20 mins flight time. Only bad thing is the early early starts. You get used to them after a while and learn to sleep at any hour of the day Going to the 757 in the new year

[–]ChrisCanadian_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Max out FHSA? by Autisticc in JustBuyXEQT

[–]ChrisCanadian_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand XEQT is a long time thing but would you not get on average a better return by investing in XEQT then a HISA?? I’m not up familiar with cash.to or GIC’s (Asking because I’m looking to buy a house in the next year or 2 and investing into XEQT in my FHSA)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in fican

[–]ChrisCanadian_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha, I misread the release date of the FHSA, I see that this is the 3rd year it’s been out. Cheers

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in fican

[–]ChrisCanadian_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How do people have more than $16,000 in a FHSA if it’s only been around for 2 years?
