RFN, MBAV8R, Thanks guys. I have the interview next month, so we shall see!

Question:

I live near YWG, so how easy or difficult would it be to commute from there?

Thanks

I'm curious, why would they advertise for a vacancy in September, if they have no intention of hiring until January?

Im curious; what are the minmums at which they tend to hire at exactly? Not the minimums they have posted on their website, but the experience at which guys are actually getting asked into the interview and getting hired with?

Cheers.

toelessjoe, CaptJack; thanks for the responses. Just one other question, any idea as to which bases they are hiring for? YXL,YQT,YTS, or all 3?

Cheers,

DN

Any one know what sort of rotation/shift pattern they are running? And, is 'On call' accomodation provided, or is it just a case of 'sit at home and wait for the beeper to go off'?

Many Thanks,

Ever heard the phrase "what happens in the cockpit, stays in the cockpit" ? Unfortunately we have now enterd the era where the cockpit is no longer a private enviroment, and EVERYTHING you touch, say, do, or don't do, is now henceforth wide open for scrutiny buy management, analyists, and lawers; an...

Now I know that TC doesn't exactly have a huge fan club here on Avcanada.....and no doubt for very good reasons in some cases...

But....

......Sorry guys, but in this perticular case they were absolutley right. This shutdown was WAY long overdue; trust me, FNT was an accident waiting to happen.

Didn't Keewatin have a couple of L 35's a few years back? I recall that they sold that part of the operation off to an outfit calling themselves 'Canadian Global' ? I'm not sure, maybe some body 'in the know' can enlighten us on this one. Curious that they are getting back into the jet's again. I ho...

Supply and demand pretty much covers it.....the harsh reality I'm afraid. We pilots get the industry we deserve.

(I digress, but don't 'whores' get renumerated for their services? Hell! I've come across some enthusiastic amatures that still managed to cost me a small fortune.......)

Any idea if they are looking for PC12 Capt's?

If so, what would be the rotation and payscale?

Many Thanks,

DN

Man.....I hope this flying thing works out, coz I guess I would make a lousy accountant

Sander Geophysics, Pay: Capt, 45-55k + per diem, rangeing generally from $35 to $100 per day depending on where you are. (My overseas tax return last year was 5k) Aircraft: Relitavely young fleet, and generally very good Management: Sure, they have their moments! But generally very good Maintanance:...

Stl, Thanks for your advice there. The company I work for does both IFR and VFR (bush) type of flying; and also operates a helicopter. So getting that second sting to the bow it's not something I have written off quite just yet. However, as you mentioned, the current state of the aviation industry a...

I'm just curious. I have looked at getting an RW licence for a while, but the cost has always scared me off. Apparently I can get some credit for my FW experience during training, but not much. In your oppinion, do you think any potential employers would give credit to a brand new helo pilot for any...

Thanks guys!

Hi Guys!

Anyone got any infomation on this one; unless I'm missing something, the link they have on the post dosn't seem to be perticularly forthcoming.

I'm just looking for basic details: A/C type, expected salary, working conditions ect.

Fly Safe!

Air Sprint; for all of the above reasons.

Oh yeah....and because the Medivac lifestyle sucks....

Having flown resonably extensively in West Africa, you have to remember that when you head out to that part of the world you are in a totaly different enviroment in just about every way imaginable. All bets are off. No one, (except you presumably), cares anything about personal safety, both in the a...

Bond was 15k over 1 year; but that was 3 years back.

Thanks for your responses guys. Flybabe; to answer your question, I originaly grew up in the TC system, but conveted over to the FAA as I had the oppertunity to fly an 'N' Reg Aircraft, (not in the US, but in the Middle East). I am now looking at returning back to Canada, and would rather do the one...

I have been doing some resurch on this one...... I have a Canadian CPL IR, and converted it to an FAA Equivelant; and since then went on to get my FAA ATPL. Now, to convert my FAA ATPL over to a Canadian ATPL, all I need to do is a short conversion exam, and prseto! A Canadian ATPL right?! Well....n...

Curious, as already said, and maybe a bit of an 'Opps' from ATC perhaps. But before we get too emotional about it all; there are quite a few wierd ones I've had from other corners of the world: "....hold 9 miles inbound on the 210 radial, maintain 500'...." (Asia) but I have to say that my personal ...

Yep.... like most guys (if they are honest with you), I once had day dreams of cute flight attendants, gold bars and big jets. But now to be honest, the more I find out about the airlines the less I want anything to do with em'

Have you looked at homebuilt; Velocity, BD 5 etc..?
