Re: Air canada axes 30 routes
Air Georgian 2.0 will come to the rescue! Air Georgian 1.0 was a disaster also. They did well with the 1900's but once they went RJ it was all down hill. They took all their good 1900 AME's for the RJ and the 1900's went down hill fast. Sad times out east. The 1900D's got old (+20 years & lots of c...

Re: Gander to Iqaluit Route for EVAS
That run was short lived. I flew on it once from YFB. Much better than the Yfb-yow-...-HYZ-yyt. I can deal with 1900 seats for that long. All and all wasn't bad.

Guess what is the first thing you do when you drop Krazy glue in your eye from above your head....blink....then Panic!!!!! A guy from work did this. A great day after they figured out his eye would be OK. Turns out a good rinsing and some drops sorted it all out. He will never live it down.

Even if you have M1/M2 you cannot sign E or S specialized maintenance unless.... the AMO (internally) proves you have enough relevant experience in that field.

Depending on the number of people I would say between 80 and 100K + benefits.
And you will work for every penny...Buy the BIG bottle of Tylenol! and make sure they give you the best cell phone possible, you're gonna need it,,,, both.
Best of luck.

Re: Power Plant Questions
Try red river college in Red River MB. They do a couple courses per year all your exams are done there including cars at the end. Very good set up and I think you can do just certain tests if you have already passed some exams. I think it's like 1.5 weeks per section then the test.
Good luck!
