No.

Oil is trading below $90 a barrel this morning. And according to some posters on the other thread Air Canada is supposed to do a fair amount of hiring in 2026. Stay positive folks.

On an unrelated note, I need a labourer to do some work at one of my sites. It's a great opportunity for an aspiring pilot. Why? I'm a pilot. Some of my friends are pilots and come hang out to drink beer. If one of them looks at a hole and thinks "Hey, nice hole" I might mention it was dug in 12 ho...

Yikes!! I would imagine wait times for a ground to flight line position have increased substantially at most northern 703/704 ops.

Does anyone have a recent experience with them? Wondering what is the chance of living in Red Lake vs one of the more remote bases? Remote bases?? I am pretty sure the only base they have is in Red Lake. I believe the King Air crews sometimes get hotels if they have flying that is somewhat far away...

There's a lot of complaining about the TC rules breaking the hiring requirements for airlines and making it more difficult for them to find qualified pilots. There's not a lot of thought going on. If there was, this thread would have ended on the first comment saying "if airlines can't fill seats d...

One would have to be awfully low or slow to not correct that right? Or I’d like to think…

I know a guy who had some issues at a medium 705 (bullshit managment shit, think bush operator nonsense) and because he was on LIMA had to leave Canada. Bach degree, 5000 hours and was sitting left seat in a dash. So why did he get fucked? Either way there's no pilot shortage in Canada. It's a pay ...

Tanker 299 quoted some salaries, if you feel this "misinformation" then please post the correct numbers.

What prop feather said and…. Pumping the floats of the airplanes will keep the pilots happy. Cleaning the windshield between flights is nice gesture too. Saying the words “it must have been a gust” if you catch your co-workers bounce a landing is also super appreciated. Looking the other way when th...

Not to mention you can get a new Civic for less than 500/mth and no maintence, and 200/mth on gas? Where you going? 250 for insurance? guess if youre a bad driver 250 for Insurance doesn't seem that far fetched in my opinion for a driver in their 20's living in Brampton/Mississauga. Rates in these ...

There's a video floating around taken by the backseater showing severe aileron flutter on the right side. The fact they made it to the ground alive is impressive in itself. Did you also see the tach. reading 2500 RPM in that video. Pilot needs to pick up a copy of "From the ground up" and study Man...

Must be nice being able to afford starbucks and ditching that slow cooker.

Not too familiar with North Cariboo but I do know the King Air fleet was sold about 18 months ago.

Oh god that poor airplane.

Do you folks still think this is a decent option? Thinking of heading to Chicago for the All-Canada show at the end of January. I think it could be a decent way to meet many of the outfitters in NWO and Manitoba. I have heard of this being done in the past when it was tougher to get into the indust...

Bamiji Air Beaver C-FHEP had an accident near Chamberlain Narrows on July 14th, 2025. Floats were torn off and it is sunk in the lake. Everyone on board survived, although judging by the one picture I saw, are probably quite lucky to do so. Flying so low enroute, they accidentally hit the water. Ba...

2024 Season I was at $8000 a month plus a whopping 4 percent vacation pay which worked out to $8360 gross. Working 6 days a week and 1 day off. This was in NWO the accommodations were provided food was on me. Some American tips too. There were some long days and I don’t think the pay was adequate if...

The owner made that decision. Not you. That's the point here. Put up your own money if want to say how it goes. Opinions are like you know what. The difference is owners put up the cash. You don't know much about the trading world either, cause fresh MBAs yeah -- they have often been glorified wate...
