Anyone who served be it Reg force or Reserve should be able to produce a certificate of service given to them shortly after their release. Also as mentioned above anyone should be able to rattle off their service number as it is drilled into you in the first week of Basic Military Qualification, I l...

Well actually I was planning on sacrificing a goat to appease the upper management, but I guess coffee and donuts are okay too. In all actual facts my post was made in Jest and I do not condone nor have I ever condoned PAYING for a JOB or WORKING for FREE. My apologies as I realize sarcasm can be ha...

I match your offer and raise you an unpaid ground school, see you in the flight levels chumps.

As long as the airlines keep hiring it should be a very good year for us 703 drivers, The pendulum is swinging back!

The original posters picture is actually the pilot waiting for WAWCON to improve and not willing to take the cut. Meanwhile the guy that did leap frogs him after 4 years and is 10 years younger! Yup pretty much the way of it, If only I didn't like eating decent food or building equity I might stand...

Still sucks for us mid-time guys who don't want to take the financial hit of making less than 50% of our current salary. If history serves I'm guessing we'll be seeing more bogus low-time-cadet-pilot-slave-schemes before we see a respectable rise in the WAWCON of our 704/705 carriers.

Drive the honeywagon good pay, home every night and people will always be full of crap.

LOL, No you guys it's not a 40 k bond its only 12 k! WOW! what a deal!

Why the F#$% are we justifying PAYING MONEY TO MAKE SOMEONE ELSE MONEY? FFS guys the industry is on fire right now anyone with over 1000 hours can land a decent gig that doesn't involve forking over cash for the privilege to work.

Been at the same 703 operator just over 4 years now all single-pilot VFR on wheels NWO and Manitoba: Year 1:C-206 $3000/month laid off Jan/Feb, Housing included. Year 2:C-208 $4300/month year round employment, Housing included. Year 3:C-208/PA-31 $5000/month, year round employment, Housing included....

Just got to work, I'm flying the Caravan today. Checked the weather -FZDZ and moderate mixed icing SFC to 2500 for the whole day. I've been at work for 5 minutes in that time I've cancelled all flights and our CSA is busy rescheduling everything because TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY. Do I feel pressure? s...

C-208,PA31

PC-12,Basler,Beaver.

Home every night and 6 figure salary.

The pc-12 is an amazing aircraft, the real burden to the future of pilots is the pilots themselves.

Used to do between 80-90 per month, nowadays closer to 50 per month doesn't bother me either way as I'm on salary would be worse if I was on mileage.

Well that escalated quickly.

Both pilots of that Navajo in Berens River who forgot to pull their wheel chocks out. Instead of getting out to see why all that power was not doing the job proceeded to apply almost T/O power to jump the chocks and proceed on their merry way.

Don't bother comparing yourself to others just do what makes you happy. There shouldn't be a race to "get there" enjoy the journey and build that PIC time, everything else will fall into place.

Fly safe

I make more than that flying bagged out King Airs. Why would you accept that pay for a shiny new Q400 with 78 people in the back? Ditto, I make Encore CAPTAIN pay flying Caravans and Navajos DAY VFR! Give your head a shake guys and gals and demand what your worth. 36k right seat in a Q400 is a joke...

I once lost out on a job because the potential employer "creeped" my facebook only to find pictures of myself enjoying a few brews by the campfire. This was enough for him to turn me down as an applicant and to lecture me on life choices :roll: Lesson learned and privacy settings increased to avoid ...

Yep.

Equipment is top notch, good people and schedule and facilities in St Andrews are amazing. As far as I know starting is 52k with no float time and expect a 5k bond.

No I do not work there.
