$52k is much higher than the cost of an initial course on a Falcon 20 even with hotels and per diems etc.

Most corporate flight departments do require a lot of time. This is something you can't get around. The bigger the faster the better. Your sched run sounds like its helping you in that respect. DA900 is right, Sunwest or North Cariboo would be a great place to go. It may take you a while to get on a...

Try Sunwest. Its a good spot, you'll fly lots and in the long run the money isn't bad either. I saw F/O spots advertised on here very recently.

mmmm Oban. Love that stuff. A cheaper alternative is Glenmorangie that is all good. Where do you buy your Oban? The cheapest I've seen is $52 US.

Curious if this is still in motion?

No doubt, a little erie. Cue tumble weeds.
Has the fat lady just started, halfway through or nearly finished singing?

Its tough to talk "standards of the profession" when people are whoring themselves out, working for free buying PPCs etc. It is part and parcel of the same problem. Most don't give a shit in North America, it would seem a different profession to our brothers in Europe.

Seiko Sportura. There is a big price difference within the line so you can spend what you want. Its really easy to change time zones and will display two at the same time ie. the zone you are in and GMT. It has a crystal face so it won't scratch and is waterproof.

Very sad news. My deepest sympathies to all at Pasco and the families and friends of those lost, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

YVR is great but as mentioned very pricey. I imagine your friends and family are all in your home province, it would be much easier to stay in your own province instead of move accross the country. Can you postpone a response to the offer and call the place you have an interview to speed the process...

Foo, Invermere is a great place to fly. I believe iflyforpie is refering to Babin Air, they have been around for years and would be a great place to rent from. It may be in the middle of the Rockies but if you are there to fly you can easily get to Calgary or Vancouver for a change of pace. The expe...

Another little birdie told me 35.... I really hope its not true.

$100M? They are about $30M new so even if all three blew up $100M is a stretch isn't it? Maybe that figure accounts for lost revenue as well as the spiralling costs of duct tape and glue. Re-read it, $100M total value, that makes more sense. Need more coffee...

Dude 10 years is a long time. Don't get your knickers in a twist just yet.

Static, I couldn't help notice your very strong reactions to what has been posted. Earlier in this thread it was mentioned that this type of behaviour had been going on for months and this was not an isolated event. Surely you knew, and by knowingly letting it continue with your strong convictions i...

Every one of us at one time or another had 200hrs so obviously there are operators out there that will hire someone with that amount of time. Given the number of jobs that are out there for experienced guys it stands to reason there are jobs available for those with less experience to replace them. ...

Sorry to hear that djgeea. Better luck in three months. When did you interview?

Good people. Decent benefits. Bag run no fun, burns guys out fast. Pay has gone up in an attempt to stem the huge exodus of pilots and it seems to be working. Per diems are are a respectable $72 a day. If you stay, progression is good and moving from a turbo-prop to a jet is not out of reach any mor...

Hard I assume because there will be no one with a lower number until the fall? From what was said earlier with the attrition hiring over the next few years (400 over the next 3 years I think) hopefully it will be a fairly short wait, and well worth the short term pain.

Thanks YYC. Hopefully beers and wings in AZ s to follow

Congrats man. I'm still waiting myself.
Is April 7th the last course for a while? Why aren't there any over the summer? and one more... Does anyone know when they fire up again in the fall? Good luck to all waiting...

Owned by the same guy who owns Alta Flights. They run a Citation I and a Citation II. I heard that the starting salary is 60k for the left seat that is second hand though so I could be wrong, not sure about right seat.

The grass is always greener on the other side. I've moved many times thinking that it would be the last. But it never is. Hauling my wife around and now two kids... Being away all the time does take its toll and I never really feel satisfied. I've wondered what it would be like to be you Rob, in the...

Contact name is same as that for Infinitair.
