i heard they're using either a jetstream or metro. Don't worry they'll soon fail and more people will get laid off.

As far as the previous service, I have no idea but am curious.

Beast, I work for myself and therefore earn my income based on my ability to produce using the mechanism of my enterprise. I do ok. My education equipped me to do ok. My training in aviation, both in the drivers seat and in the hanger helped me to acheive that success by giving me the skills. It was...

I tried to find them on the web to see if they had gotten any farther with that new leading edge modification for the 208 but it looks like it went under. Does any body know whats going on.

I have to say Beast that all your protesting suggests that you have a great deal of insecurity with regard to your lack of education. In addition by using your criteria of pay as an indicator of professionalism the average 18 year old high school drop out rig pig is a highly paid professional As far...

Is it the Multi or Multi IFR needed for FO. Can't be alot of IFR on floats, can there?

What kind of outfit are they to work for? Is it low level surveying or is it above 18000. Just curious

Man I'm no economist but with a huge supply of pilots entering the market, having been laid off as a result of bankruptcy and mergers. Add that to a slowing economy, and hyper inflation in fuel prices, we are not in the best industry. Perhaps I'll be a repo man.
