Re: KF or HeavyAero for apprenticeship
North Wright in Norman Wells is looking, I can guarantee you'll learn 500% more there in a year than you'll ever learn doing heavy anywhere. Is your goal the Airlines with the M2? Don't!!!!!. Leave brain at door and night shift forever.

Re: KF or HeavyAero for apprenticeship
I've never worked full time for KF but have contracted there several times. Yes its expensive and people live in Vernon etc and commute. Very gloomy in winter, no sun for months. Maybe not so much the last few years but at one time the AME were always looking over their back, company had a bad rep f...

Talk to your local AMO and see if they do imports or find your local Minister's Delegate who do imports for a living.

Re: Part 66 EASA B1 exams
You should have no trouble finding a job, there's a shortage of experienced techs. Bring your exam results and make an appointment at your local TC office and see what they say, if your time is noted and signed for then you should be on your way to getting your Canadian ticket.

Re: How Do I Start as a Contractual AME in Quebec? - Need Advice
Sent your stuff in to one of the contract agencies, they're always looking for people, If you've been in the biz for a while you should have hear about these companies. They were looking for people for PQ recently.

Re: Why does de Havilland Canada have a 737?
I think it belongs to the wife of the guy who started the initial company that has morphed into De Hav. Is it Sherry Brydson Longview Aviation?

Prince Rupert has everything a small city has. It has daily flights to Vancouver but as you can see its at the end of the road but not really isolated. Seal Cove float base has a great aviation community and would be a good place for an appy or even licenced guy to spend time getting experience. As ...

Re: Tricycle Otter
A bit off topic from the original post but regarding the 215's they had 12 or 13 215's in Calgary a few years back doing conversions to turbine. Any idea as to the success of this. I would thing building scoopers from scratch would be a good idea going forward with the world on fire.
