Thanks Castorero, North Shore! Appreciate the info. We’ll see how the medical goes next month, fingers crossed. I’m about 6 weeks in post-op and the Surgeon just lifted all restrictions, so hopefully that’ll bode well.

Has anyone experienced hip replacement surgery or know of anyone who has with a CAT 1 medical? I have surgery due in a month and just curious what to expect during and after recovery in terms of the medical.

Suffering from severe arthritis in my left hip, orthopedist has recommended hip replacement as an option. Of course just wanna look into all avenues and information before going down that road and contacting my ME. So anyone else out there been through this or know of others with hip replacement how...

^ Yeah, I'll have to come out with it no doubt. Appreciate the that info though, I feel a little more at ease.

A bit of a long shot, but does anyone else out there suffer from this? It's an hereditary blood disorder that stores iron causing excessively high ferretin levels. The disorder itself is not really the problem it's the effect on internal organs that potentially does the damage. It is extremely treat...

Yup, they have.

Well perhaps the Atlantic and maritime patrol and fisheries. The Auroras are getting very old as well. Fighter jets doing maritime patrols, do you know how expensive that would be. There are dedicated aircraft for those missions. The Auroras will be replaced by something like the P8, fighters don't...

Seems there is a lot of area here that could use patrolling capabilities. Where will you patrol and what will you be looking for? Well perhaps the Atlantic and maritime patrol and fisheries. The Auroras are getting very old as well. Then there's the High Arctic patrols particularly with all the sov...

Global also reporting 5 died and 2 seriously injured. God speed to them all. All my prayers to them and their families.

dash8, ya might have to bite the bullet and take their offer to go away for those two months. Quite honestly since were coming up on the spring when numerous sightseeing and skydive operators will be looking for the season, now more than ever would be the best time to take that on. I know how you fe...

Spent a long time at Cree years ago, got to know the operation quite well. Even though I've never had the honour of knowing the guys, Pilots there are always top notch. God Speed fellas.

Skylink does feeder work for the main couriers. You wait for the sort, deliver it, and wait for the return parcels at night to make the sort. Yes you start early A.M. and arrive around 9PM or after. There's usually some type of sleeping accommodations in between.

I think f/o pay is somewhere between 35 and 37k. Bonds are over two years. not sure the amount though.

Lately it's averaged about 4 days/week, but could go as high as 5 if you include stnby. Weekends are usually free and clear with the exception of 1, occasionally 2 stnby weekends/ month.

Had to work full time summer jobs to feed my golf addiction after 89. That and I was never considered pilot material.

Currently looking but flown Bandits, 1900D's, and Falcon20's.
