culture of the company.
Risk is equal to probability
multiplied by the consequences of
what you propose to do, and your
exposure. You essentially have four
choices – you can either not do the
job, mitigate the effects of the risk,
transfer it (buy insurance) or eat it.
You could always try and prehandle
situations – that is, make as many
decisions as possible ahead of time,
as part of your flight planning –
most important, though is to leave
yourself a way out. For example, always
be aware, when dropping water, that
you may have to get out of a hot
hole with the load on – don't assume
that the bucket will work and you
will be light enough to escape! Is the
weather closing in behind you? Have
you gone into a confined area to far
forward and boxed yourself in?
Going For A Job
Inexperienced pilots have a similar
problem to people in many other
walks of life - they cannot get a job
because they don't have the
experience, and they cannot get the
experience without a job. When
looking for work with hardly any
hours and a licence which is barely
dry, you are in a similar position to
asking your father for the keys to his
brand new Mercedes so you can go
to a party. You have to ask yourself
what characteristics you might have
that would make your father do such
a potentially stupid thing. Or that
might make passengers get into a
machine with you at the controls, for
that matter.
What would your father want to
know? That he will get his car back,
of course, undamaged, and with no
after effects, like traffic tickets.
Similarly, a Chief Pilot will need
reassurance that you are capable of
flying one of the company machines
without crashing it, upsetting the
customers and being the cause of a
subsequent visit from your local
friendly Operations Inspector. In
this respect your flying ability counts
for only a small portion of the
qualities required - it's the remainder
that need to be emphasised when
doing the rounds at such a
disadvantage.
OK, so now imagine you're a Chief
Pilot - what would you like to see in
someone who walks into the office
with a resume in one hand and
without a box of doughnuts in the
other?
I would suggest a selection from the
following would be appropriate:
·  A smile on your face
·  A firm handshake
·  Confidence
·  Presentable appearance,
including clothing and hairstyle
- no shaven heads or curly
locks, and especially no earrings.
·  Clean vehicle
It's a fact that jobs have been offered
just on a person's appearance. I
know, because it happened to me,
426 Canadian Professional Pilot Studies
and no-one even asked to look at my
logbook or licences. However, in the
normal course of events, for lowtimers,
and anyone else for that
matter, visiting as many companies
as possible is about the only way to
get yourself known. Just sending a
resume (below) is not good enough
when they haven’t seen you before.
Believe it or not, someone with
relatively low experience and who
gets on with customers is actually in
a better position than somebody the
other way round, other things being
equal, as experience and flying
techniques can be taught –
personality can’t. Also, get to know
lots of people at the bottom levels,
because Chief Pilots very often ask
the guys on the shop floor if they
know anyone when there’s a vacancy
and, if you are recommended, there’s
less chance of personality conflicts
later (Chief Pilots don’t like hassle,
but they do like people who are not
going to drop them in it, as they
carry a lot of responsibility). At least
one company of my acquaintance
gets all the pilots in the crew room
whenever someone is about to be
offered a job, and they vote on their
acceptance.
Remember also that loyalty goes
both ways. Some companies deserve
all they get when their pilots
disappear in a shortage – with no
staff, they can’t trade, and they go
out of business. It’s happened before
and will happen again. On that basis,
if you’re doing the traditional two
years as a hangar rat before you get
your hands on a machine, be
prepared to move on if it seems like
the company are more interested in
your cheap labour than training you.
In my opinion, in with your normal
