This is just one more straw on the camels back. I know a bunch of guys who have employment offers in hand, just waiting to give their notice and I also know of at least one pilot with no where to go, who quit on the spot over Christmas. It’s not looking so good at the moment.

A pay raise is needed immediately to help with retention, but but would top pay be enough to compensate for the risk?

December schedules are available for bidding. No additional flights in December vs. November for my base…

Home every night is also a thing of the past (especially for new hires). Some of the most senior pilots can hold the out-and-back flights but every month there are more red eyes and more multi-day pairings. The bottom half of the roster is not very nice at all….and there is not a lot of growth plann...

It is impossible if you only have right seat time. But if you come with some good PIC, you should be able to see the left seat. For upgrades from ramp, the last position for right seat King Air was 600 TT 200 Multi. So the ramp position isn't likely to work out very well if you don't already have so...

Same with North Cariboo. All of the new jobs are contrails plus, and unless you have a ton of MPIC you will never get upgraded. Another place that guys use to be able to work from the ramp up, but King Air FO's are now required to have 450TT and 200 Multi. Its getting pretty hard for a new pilot to ...

Not so good news:

Dec 2009 Update: 5 Airplanes Parked and 6 Pilots Laid Off.

I'm just under the 1500 mark, and I've turned down a few opportunities in the last short while. I have a family at home and staying close to and having time at home is more of a priority to me. Although a do have a flying job at the moment. On a side note regarding a second career. I gave my second ...

If you know the answers to the study guide, you'll ace it.

I run a small photography company and I am usually booked every Saturday in the summer for weddings. I use vacation days if necessary: $2,000/day taking pictures vs. Aviation Pay

I flew a 206 part time and I made $12/flight hour with a daily minimum of $48/day. I knew that I was at least paying for my fuel every time I drove to the drop zone. I also had a trailer (provided) to stay in every weekend, so that I didn't have to drive back and forth.

Yep, I know that there are a few of us on here.

I work for a small charter op in Alberta and we are still expanding

This is right from our company ops manual for a Type D system Flight Watch and Flight Following Flight Following for a Type D system is the monitoring of a flight's progress, the provision of such operational information as may be required by that flight and the notification of appropriate air opera...

I am just wondering if anyone has a checklist or any advise for travel to the US. I am the new go to guy for a newer 702/703 operator and we have recently received a request to fly to the States. We are approved for International travel, but I would like to build a detailed checklist for the crews (...

I had 3.2 hours of Multi when I did my ride, but I had done several hours in a C-182 RG and had already started training in the sim for my MIFR

I am directly employed by the Oil and Gas Industry, I do the land acquisition for new wells and pipelines, and it has become scary slow. We have had alot of oil and gas companies cancel there entire 2007 drilling programs. Most Oil and Gas companies have enough Reserves that they don't have to drill...

I did my MIFR renewal there two years ago, and it was a good experience!

I'm referring to the Aviation Industry, I agree that its much better then it has been, but it is still missing a real pay cheque.

There is still an over supply of 200 hour wonders out there, as good as the industry (temporarily) is, Unless you have 500 hours and a current MIFR I probablly won't start packing my bags yet. I personally only have 350 hours with a current MIFR, I'm working in the Oil and Gas industry and unless th...

Yeah 7.25/hour minus your housing and cost to get to where ever the hell they send you. They don't like to pay overtime either. I worked from 10 -16hours a day even a few 20 hour shifts (7 days a week) and often only got paid for 8 hours. Yeah I know I should have done something about it, but I was ...

I've been really happy with Morgan Air, at the International
They have a Twin Commanche

I got into aviation because I loved to fly, I got out of it because I was tired of working for illegal wages and being treated like dirt. I invested 72,000 into aviation and tried for 5 years--hoping that it would get better, but it never did. Now I'm making more than that in the oil and gas industr...
