Re: Bird dog down in Territories?

Inflight break up is everyone's worst nightmare. probably not much more than 1000 agl when directing the tanker run It's actually much less not more. Is it possible the aircraft hit a single tree that was significantly taller than the surrounding trees? I believe they call it a "snag" or something ...

Re: "Influencer Pilots"

I have one pilot that spends 10 minutes turning on his camera and checking his shots before taxi out. A little tea and biscuits talk, and pointing out company social media policy that he signed put an end to that

Re: Tumbler Ridge

I don't know, but I would guess they landed at Fort St. John (6900 ft, 2 hours away) and took a bus from there. If that isn't long enough, the next closest airport with a (really) long runway is Prince George - 4.5 hours away. They had Griphons go through YMM westbound I imagine he flew in from YDQ

Re: AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!

A good opportunity to build some hours and get ahead. Yes, for a new pilot. A pilot with 1000 TT and 100 on a turbine already has a turbine job making more than $3k + "performance bonus". Most importantly, it's likely permanent and year round. This ad has predatory written all over it. we pay 3500+...
