Best bush beaver job out there. Good pay, great environment and the workload is pretty low compared to most beaver jobs.

I met some guys that worked there last summer. From what I could tell they worked pretty hard but it looked like an alright place to pay your dues. I don't know what the opportunities are like for advancement to a flying position.

They should have sent the 2nd years out there with snowshoes to pack a trail if they wanted the time that bad. That would have been some practical experience they could use.

Try Konopelky Air service in Cochrane

How's everyone else doing? Got something solid yet? Are there operators still looking to fill spots? All the leads I've been working on have started falling through this week for various reasons. I've still got a few left but I'm starting to get worried now. _________________ Unless it floats, it a...

Ya your right 2 years is too long to spend on the ramp. Hold out for something better, after all you are a COMERCIAL PILOT and you deserve a flying job. Meanwhile you can work at Mc Donald’s because that is way more constructive and at least you can keep your dignity.

Not true.

if you can get a job there....TAKE IT!

97 cents in Thunder Bay today......ridiculous

I am currently going to school flying skis on the weekend and floats in the summer. This has worked out great for me. I just suggest being upfront with your employer about what your plans are and when you will be available for work. Most guys will be quite accommodating if you plan on sticking aroun...

Hey 185 guy you comin back to NWO?

I would recommend Sudbury Aviation. They use 172 s for their bush course which is in depth and relatively cheap. It’s a reality that starting out you will most likely have to work the dock and log a bit of dual time before flying. So the amount of time logged and the aircraft, in my opinion, are not...

I haven’t heard anything about him that was any worse than most operators. I guess if you go find out for yourself then you'll know or if you don't want to work then you could choose that option as well.

$4000 - $5000

The JP international book has all the float operators in it as well.

Cessna, Beaver, Otter, dock....???? What are you looking for?

Headn up to Armstrong on Friday heard it's still frozen cock stiff though.
Have a good summer boys and girls

Sounds like yok driver isn't a 200 hour bush pilot, probably a 1500 hour instructor - same shit!

it would be nice if schools taught engineers how to tidy up airplanes in order to keep the pilots happy.

Cheers, wp

Switch the words pilot and engineers around and you might be on to something

That's why you never take off with reduced power (unless you are on flex power on a jet) lest you cook the engine...[/quote] Xsbank I agree with you if we are talking naturally aspirated engines, but what about turbocharged or supercharged engines would the throttle blade even be full open at takeof...

So it’s the polarized lenses eh…. and here all these years I though me “spankin it on” was solely due to my incompetence.

A review of past forums and an Ontario road map should answer all your questions.

How important is tail dragger time?

Not very important according to insurance companies I guess. My Beaver time on floats got me insured on skis (without previous tail time) no questions asked. Goes to show how far out of touch they are, stupid bastards!

All I know is the cost of them seems to be directly proportional to the odds of loosing or smashing them. Had a pair of Oakley polarized lost them off the float in less than a month. Been wearing the same $10 pair for the last 2 years! Although, I hear from optometrists it’s not a good idea for pilo...

Little Johnny was in his nursery class when the teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came up - fireman, policeman, salesman, etc... Johnny was being uncharacteristically quiet and so the teacher asked him about his father. "My father's an exotic dan...

ya wanna go halvsies on a bastard child? That one usually works
