Re: Flight "Service"??

I've never heard of this before. We go the extra distance with requests for weather, even. Sounds like you're only hearing one side of the story.

Re: FSS Direct Entry

Like I said, I didn't get room & board paid for and that cost a lot more than $1000. I'll take room & board over tuition back any day.

Think about it, what would you rather do pay for your room and food for 5-6~ months or get $1000?

Re: FSS Direct Entry

It was a completely new test-bed kind of pilot project so they wanted to show their appreciation I believe for being guinea pigs. We weren't paid throughout the school term like NCTI students so that may be another reason? FYI Ab initio NCTI students don't get paid through the training program unti...

Re: FSS Direct Entry

Honest question for you. I know the intent with this "pilot" program was to hire locally. So, I'm assuming you are from the local Prince Albert area, how will you feel when you have to move? Were you told from the start that you would have to move? Yes I'm from the PA area. Yes I was told about rel...

They call us La Ronge radio quite a bit as well. It's nice bein...
