Canadian air force hires foreign pilots to fly front-line jets
Canada’s air force has been hiring foreign pilots to fly its front-line transport aircraft, maritime patrol planes and fighter jets, citing an inability to recruit Canadians to fill seats in the military cockpits. (www.thestar.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]

Ok. Copy that I'll be flying till get 1500hrs and ATP thank you
It appears that the air force is hiring former military pilots who have logged hours either in fast jets or the kind of transports that are operated by the Canadians, such as the Hercules C-130 or C-17 Globemaster. That way they can be placed right into the cockpit with minimal training. They're also looking for higher time pilots who can act as instructors to train the Canadians.
