Everyone keeps stating that Orca is losing the contract but no one is saying where their information is coming from...sounds more like disgruntled ex employees indeed!

Have you ever seen a gruntled one.

The last I knew AN was still the ops manager and why would he say that anything is other than sunshine and lollipops? He would NEVER say anything is bad. Gotta have positive attitude ya know.

It is quite common for commercially available parts to be used in an aircraft but it is only legal to do so once they have been inspected and approved by the manufacturer or an appropriately rated AMO. The one that I love the best is Piper Part number 754-817. It is a filter for the manifold pressur...

I think one of the things that may be misunderstood here is that there is, in fact, essentially two different types of PRM. One is the operational PRM, which is what I believe is being discussed here, and the other is the PRM for and AMO which was once upon a time called the Director of Maintenance....

There may be hope on the horizon. Bill C-55 passed Royal Assent on Nov 25, 2005. This is the new bankruptcy and wage earners protection bill. I don't think it will help if you got stiffed before Nov 25 and it doesn't come into full effect until June 30, 2006 but it is a step in the right dirrection....

Another AK venture the money and brains? behind the operation. Note: this is the guy that just about drove Alta Flights out of business buy hooking them up with the bag run and Quickair (the jetstreams are ex Alta Flights/Quickair machines).

A 337. Hell I never even noticed the out.

Re: pilot wages For the '01-'02 season the wages were: Pa-31 F/O $11,500/an Pa-31 Capt $24,000/an B99 F/O $19,000/an B99 Capt $29,000/an the 200 never found out what they paid 1900 F/O unknown 1900 Capt $55,000/an + You have to pay for the first PPC, the company pays for all subsequent ones I'm sure...

I worked for these guys for about a year in Moncton and leaving was the worst mistake I ever made. When I was there (2001-02) it was very cheap to live in Moncton. Yes, their wages are low but you can still live well on what they pay in the Maritimes. Bill Davidson, The DOM, is an excellent individu...
