I do 6 weeks on 6 weeks off in Africa. The company flies me to and from my home in BC, gives me lots of cash to make sure I get food along the way, pays for a cab to take me right to my door, even paid ½ of the cost of my Bose ANR headset. The over seas tax status is awesome, the extra incentive pay...

Skyward no more
Yikes, I know a few guys from Skyward, I've spent some time in Manitoba flying fling wing. I understand Skyward has just gone into receiver ship, there is no hope for a flight of the phoenix there! The travel demand remains unchanged, Perimeter will probably pick up the slack, I hear they are hiring!

Wow, it seems that 9-11 is still looming! With the demise of "Jestno more" the fixed wing side of flying is slow to recover from bad management and terrorism. The good news is attrition and lack of new blood; combined with, an ever increasing demand for air travel will result in eventual pilot openi...
