Re: Crohns and Colitis
Remicaid and Imuran, never an issue. I've had colitis as long as I've been flying. Best thing you can do is manage your diet. I can't even so much as stare at processed carbs without feeling like crap, and living in the washroom. Pasta, lots of bread, etc. Had a few hard times with employers about. ...

Re: Demand for float drivers 2017?
Being a farm kid, and working as a mechanic before I started flying is the sole reason I was hired for all my float jobs. We can all fly the plane, but in the float world the flying is only about 25% of the work, if that. That being said, since I started 4 years ago I have NEVER seen so many help wa...

Re: Expectations for Roadtrip?
Expect to be shut down. A lot. Don't get discouraged. And remember it's always okay to leave a genuinely sh**ty operator should you get hired by one.

Re: Lac Seul Dockhand job
They offered me a job last spring, and I really wanted to take it. Just wasn't in a position where I could work for the $2000 a month salary they offered. I ended up going to another operator, the pay was much better but it was awful place to work. I ended up tearing my MCL after slipping carrying a...

Re: How is it Out There?
Have a few prospects, only one solid offer. It was a particular dockhand job for an operator in Red Lake. It's been posted on here three times now, in the last two weeks. The pay is a joke. Guess they're hoping to find someone desperate at the last minute.

Re: Chance of getting hired with a tattoo?
I have the outline of the Avro Arrow on my right forearm, more often it's sparked conversation instead of discrimination. I have the Canadian flag on my right bicep, I wouldn't want to work for someone who looked down at that. My others are on my back where no employer or client would ever see so it...

Re: 300NM
Don't come to Wawa. Seriously. One, there's nothing to see or do. Two, it's always always always foggy lately, there is a very good chance of getting stuck. My 300NM, I followed the St. Lawrence from Lake Ontario to Trois Rivieres. Then from TR, across to Ottawa, then a straight line back to Colling...

Re: 2014 Float Season
I got an email from Excellent Adventures in Red Lake yesterday, they need a Cessna pilot. I already have my spot for the season but I thought I'd pass it along.

Re: Commercial Written , We meet again
I flunked Nav my first time around. NDB/ADF stuff just sent me for a loop, and for whatever reason my exam was incredibly NDB heavy. Studied more, flew a few exercises with the stupid things. Went and rewrote my exam and had 2 NDB questions. So goes life.

Re: Pilot in Waiting?
To the guy who kind of spazzed there. I didn't buy a type rating. I did however spend the last two years "dispatching" and doing the PRM duties for the flight school I did my license with, while working on my CPL which I only finished in November. I also have farming and a couple trades in my backgr...

Re: Pilot in Waiting?
I'm a 200hr wonder. Was offered a ramp position. The contract specifically mentioned keeping the bathrooms and parking lot clean. I'm a pilot, not a janitor. Turned it down as soon as I cooled down enough to turn it down politely. Three days later I was offered a flying job. Problem solved. Was actu...

Re: Road Trips
I literally had my car loaded and ready to go, when I was offered a position I applied for by e-mail. Which was great, but sucked at the same time. I was looking for forward to my road trip.
