Thanks for the link- had not seen that one! Rather an unfortunate reflection really- 99.9% of all the skyward guys have made a go of it. I dont know who that is but I am suprised to say the least. Sorry to say the guy who started that post clearly has some issues! Anyway looking forward to seeing if...

odd post flyman? yes the news this week was good.... good to see it all heading in the right direction ie the ex-owners having to suck it up a little. As for someone going overseas? Who you talking about there exactly? I assume its one of the people involved int he company side? Like to calrify that...

Dont be too quick to associate "the death rate" with the quality of operator ....its clear one of the biggest points Skygone in manitoba had as the directors regually reminded us of was, that in all there time and millions of miles they had never killed anyone....... oddly enough thats true- no one ...

I know a guy who is a paraplegic (as you put it "legs")- he use to fly privately in the likes of of Cessna 172s. He had a gadget that attached to the rudder pedals and came up in front of the throttle. It had a loop on the end which you could put you arm thru, he could then use his right forearm to ...

Nice movie!! I had not heard about this one before....... no I did not get an email either clearly I am not on your mailing list! haha anyway I am sure there are lots of K9ers who have quite a load of pics and movie clips...Maybe Dave M can put them all together and make a movie about it one day hah...

All you whiners keep at it re foriegn pilots!...... I was a foriegn pilot and did many years in Canada. I worked just as hard and had to go through all the same hoops, shit holes, and crap as any other guy. I filled the gap, not take the job. If some other guy was qualified they would have got it. G...

Im suprised that this stuff did not surface here a little sooner!.... Lots of ex SKG employees got stuck with some significant losses of money. I guess everyone involved just realises how badly they got mislead and screwed. Don't get me wrong, SKG had some mighty fine points but at the end those ggo...

Chi Chi, your a spaz! You should not start a post till you have the facts (or even close) and honestly you are way off the mark! Yup a skyward guy bailed, and perimeter did pick up a few guys which is awfully nice of them. But its a business decision to take them. There wasn't "20" skyward guys on t...

All good points so far Heres an idea however! Everyone is screaming over all the carnage left behind when these aviation companies go bust, most notably jetsgo and Skyward of late.. And the carnage is not just the training bonds, the tickets, the vacation time, its the whole lot from employees to pu...

Yup everyone lost a lot- including the owners But don't forget it was a business, it made money, and some of that money was put away for a rainy day. Recently its been raining hard! So don't tell me that 11 planes owned by the "directors" and leased to the now lifeless Skyward is loosing everything,...

Seems the argument of who owes who etc comes up again. Momz your right- at the end of the day a job is a job, you get paid for your service, the boss makes money and the world goes round. You said the boss was there for you when times were tough. Thats compassion, and quite clearly there probably wa...

You are joking right!!?? Please tell me you are joking!! Who in their right mind wouls start heaving on the gear to try and "lock" it. Anyone hear of the engineer at Ministic that got crushed?? if you ever have a gear problem, I'd say have the engineers ready to slip the jacks in as soon as you touc...

Well this has to be one of the longest threads I've ever seen Also one that has gone a bit off tangent at times. Latest I heard was that Skyward is still not going- the flight department seems to be back together, but the maintenace or rather a servicable plane still is not. Seems odd that some 6 or...

shitdisturber is about right Not sure if you just have a mental problem or a really bad sense of humor either way what the point? Seems you have none While it may seem a little grim for our skyward friends- don't count them out just yet. My money is on a slimmer version- Frank dosen't give up anythi...

I guess lets face it- the whole situation stinks for those on layoff Seems the whole point and big question is why did it end up here. Its not to apportion blame BUT someone has to take responsibility in some form. Some say its the "operational staff" eg pilots and AMEs who accepted the conditions- ...

SOme of you are right This has been done to death But then again your right not too much from any apparent pilots Everyone is keeping there mouth shut Maybe its fear of them really not getting a job back In short the pilots are all laid off except 6 or so 48hrs recall. Plan to have limited opps in t...
