Plugging in 2 buddy heaters in an attempt to keep your helicopter warm in -30 overnight and ALWAYS blowing the breaker. C'mon Maaaaaaan

Flying a .3 to a lease site, sitting for 5 hours, then flying .3 back.
C'mon maaaaaaaaan

My simple advice for success? Don't limit yourself to only flying airplanes. Learn more about the total industry and then master those jobs too. Take on responsibility for the sake of responsibility, and what you'll learn from the experience, not just that it might pay you an extra few bucks at the...

For Bailey Helicopters they do not. For Airborne Im not too sure...

I definetly agree, now is the the best time as operators are searching for guys for the summer. On another note, if theres no luck out there right now, try again in august or sept sometime. I have gotten 2 jobs that both happened because i stopped by between the middle and end of august. This is rou...

man i wish i flew some passengers around like that! In the oil patch i dont think I wanna see any underwear...

the more i thought about panning this "aviation phd" idea the more i want to do it because of what a juicy, low hanging fruit it must be. the coursework is probably a low impact cakewalk of interdisciplinary grab-baggery: a book report on "CARs in plain english", a case study on southwest, watching...

Damn, sounds pretty rough. As a low timer myself i can definetly sympathize with you guys, some of these operators are pretty cheap. As for my situation... aircraft used: Bell 206 Jetranger, Robinson 44 pay per month: 3200 salary, 20$ a flight hour hours worked flying/other: usually 8-5 off the base...

Initial purchases or leases and ongoing costly maintenance. Just find a company and work for them and give them a good work ethic, and things will work out.

yup

had a few guys come through our doors looking for work, and basically said alberta is dead and places are lookin for the higher time guys instead of the lower times. There are obviously a few out there but competition is fierce.

good luck

sexy but.....

booooooooooooooooooooooooring, i like lots of buttons

my advice, get on with a spray company. Long days and a good intro to the industry, and with per deims, away from base pay, and salary you can make some good cash. Youll work with some characters and get to fly in the choppers a bit hopefully, and come away at least knowing a few of the logistics of...

High power , right pedal turn in a 206 LTE my guess Just listened to it on the desktop, not the laptop. I think you're right KE, the engine doesn't seem to waiver very much, big right turn too... stl Yea, actually thats what I orginally thought looking at the shadow and the fact that on the way dow...

wow.

Engine failure? The gear is splayed out but obviously it could have been worse.

Keep searching boys, because the jobs are definetly out there. Just got hired to do some groundcrew work and hopefully when the season ends in a couple months I will be trained on the r44. Lots of work ahead of me, but the opportunity is there and its still early in the season to be hired like this....

couple alternate routes... 1. FAX the resume with a cover letter, its too easy just to hit the delete button with an email once the ops manager reads '200 hours', and if he reads the cover letter he may get a better impression of you rather than just the resume by itself. 2. With a cover letter, try...

i think he just came in with wayyyyyyy too much speed and didnt flare or pull enough pitch to stop.

wow 25000?

When i looked into the max anyone could claim for aviation related programs was 5200

needless to say an LOC, BCSAP, and good old hard work paid my way
