Really?!?! They must be as rare as a kid with an arm growing out of his head! JUst one question, If Ma and Pa get a divorce, will she still be my sister??

Thanks to all for your generous input. I'm going to do as Trey suggests and see what I get. I am getting in and out of the small strips, its just not comfortable, and I want it to be. Otherwiase, I'm going to end up in the trees sure as shit, which isn't good for anybody. Thanks again.

I am currently flying a turbo 206 out of Whitehorse YT. It has a Robertson STOL, VG's, and wingtip extentions. According to Robertson, max performance approach speed is 53 mph. I am approaching at 65, and bleeding down to 60 over the threshold into 1000' strips. At gross, it is still nervewracking t...

It shows me that Airsprint has some people working for it that have enough insight to keep themselves informed about their potential workforce. As far as I'm concerned...

I have just experienced this exact situation. I moved 1200 miles from home on a promise, and when I arrived I found the aircraft I was hired to fly wasn't owned by the company, and the operation was two days away from suspension due to not having an Ops Manager within the prescribed 30 days.. The ow...

There's four of us at present. We will definitely post here first if there is any openings.

Just an update for all. I have just accepted the Ops Manager position for Lakeside, which is actually still Wamair as the ops manual and certificate are in the process of being changed. Steve Taylor is the Chief and is a really great guy. Wamair was bought late last year and is operating two Caravan...
