Re: Looking for work

Yellowknife? 25.00 per hour sounds good but think of thecost ofliving. Unless you want to sleep in your car I think you would be ill advised.

Think about this thoroughly. First Air is a very good company to work for but not with. Good benefits, excellent employee care. But the type of work will likely drive you nuts, especially if you are used to just going to work and get the job done. Much of the time is spent yucking and for the most p...

I'd like to figure that out as well. Good education, the willingness to work for your boss until the plane is fixed, stand-by on your days off, taking more trainning, etc. But all those things are not extra, they are expected by your boss and as such you are not extra compensated for it. All of it f...

Happened to me as well but I was just looking for somebody to replace me as I was considering to leave. Turned out to be a good thing for both of us. If you are upset because your buddy advanced faster than you then I suppose you should talk to your boss about this. Seniority is something earned, no...

Float Training in Yellowknife

I am considering to offer C180H float ratings this year, depending on some prior personal arrangements. Good training in the bush and no cheap sign-outs. I am a commercial pilot with 10 years of northern flying experience, 8 years of experience on own aircraft. Also licensed AME M1-M2. Standard rate...

I'd like to answer that. Of course you are right. If you want to work on larger aircraft than it should be understood that they are only in the hangar during the day. I therefore can honestly say that I had my fair share of night shift work in my life, which also includes many years in my non-aviati...

Fresh out of school 13.00 after 3 months. Third year 15.00 / hr and 4th year 17.00/hr. Licensed guys 19-20.00/hr. ACA another 1.50/hr. M1-M2 Crew chiefs with ACA (of course) look at 25.00-28.00/hr - or so I figured after trying to find out. However, the working hours (like 2 pm until the wee hours) ...

Likely Aviation. But like I said, I will chose carefully. There are still good and decent people left in this industry. It just takes time to sort the outfits out, especially the ones that take into account that night shift work on aircraft is actually counterproductive in the long run.

Go NORTH!!! and go insane - but I did not say that. Up here the companies literally make a living on you apprentices, so be sure you will not be treated like a king. But hell, you have the last laugh the day you get licensed. Check it out.

Well I sort of agree with the one who said that you should first get your license. As an apprentice you will just not have that pull yet, and in most cases you are even encouraged to "shut up". Once you got your papers, though, by all means tell is like it is (say it loudly - say it proudly ...) and...
