I have no idea.. I wasn't high enough on the food chain to be privy to any of that sort of info... Maybe it will survive under new ownership. I rejoined vertical after a very long hiatus and just recently on as of a few weeks ago. What spam were you talking about? Or did you clear it before it was ...

Some of you on here will know me as twinnie, one of the moderators on the Vertical site. I found out about the closure the same way you did. I've been a member of Vertical for over 20 years, don't remember how many as a mod. It wasn't just the few who f***ed it for all of us, the number of spam mem...

I'm wondering if you could give me some examples of where an AME working on a private airplane was held liable for damage. What situations are you worried about? Most liabilities I can think off, exist in pretty much any profession. Same for insurance. You know its funny, I do not have any examples...

Does anyone have insight in this topic currently? Things have never been crappier in Canada’s helicopter market from what I’m seeing

Can’t agree more. However, I believe it should go 2 ways. Employers should be able to post about employees that can’t do their job or keep their word. I don’t believe employers have anything that keeps them doing this. They never sign an NDA with employees. I have worked alongside a lot of people t...

Is the domestic flying ban in France happening anywhere else in the world?

I’ve heard varying stories about the high flight pay of between $90-200/hour but it’s just rumours. Does anyone on here work there?

Nothing. The cost is unreasonable last time I checked for a solo operator. I perform all work through a personal service corp. Company holds all liability as I am just an employee of said company. Never work for cash or trade. I keep myself arms length away from my own company. The company holds no...

Okay, that sucks. But if he was found not at fault, then insurance wouldn't make a huge difference. Everyone can be sued. Even employees. Doesn't mean you'll be found at fault, but you'll still be stressed out. Once could even say that it's more likely to be sued if you're insured for 100 M in liab...

Using Chartright as an example their fleet ranges from the latest Global variant to KingAir so establishing a baseline within no the operational range for the makes and models under their care and feeding could be challenging. In addition it's my sense that pilots who understand corporate flying an...

Some in the 1 and 2 star range, none in that area are a surprise Yep, I was just looking at some of the regular ads on indeed and their associated reviews. Hilarious and not one wage to be found listed anywhere. I think that things have to change as a new workforce with lower tolerance for BS of ye...

"We will be back into Calgary probably in the spring or fall of 2023," said Bureau, though he says that depends on the airline's ability to add new aircraft to its fleet. I think return spring 2023 will pass, maybe he meant 2024? Canada Jetlines currently has two Airbus A320s — an all-economy jet w...

My thread has actually started some good conversation. I don't come here as often as I used too. I feel like most people are thinking that I want to live down in the states and work on a C reg aircraft (maybe it has a contract down there of sorts). That's not what I'm getting at. I'm curious if my ...

:smt039 Coming up on 6 at my present place. Still actually like the guys, the rotation and the management. The owner of the company is one of the guys. Easy to talk to, pretty down to earth type of fellow. I think its because there is a mutual respect on each others abilities. Longest job before th...

Hi All, I'm new to this form - thanks to everyone who has commented on similar topics to this in the past. Lots of great information. Im a 38 year old emergency physician, who for a number of reasons, has reached a point where I'm no longer interested in a career in medicine. I have always been an ...

I did my due diligence about possibly working at a few management companies, I dropped the subject but they always seem to be hiring particularly one larger one. Are they really growing that fast or is it just high turnover area of the industry?

I wonder what kind of aircraft the OP had that they needed to go down themselves? Rare bird?

I’ve worked with a bunch that quit and never went back

This thread is a great read, how the heck are you signing private stuff without an amo anyways? Do you just sign a release in the journey log and that’s it? The cars state anything under part four or seven needs an amo, so just private aircraft. I still couldn’t imaging signing some private guys jal...

Good read lol

If anyone was smart.. they’d shrewdly negotiate an hourly/overtime rate, delegation of duties/on-call, schedule, days off, and vacation/PTO Management positions at smaller companies burn people out which is why they need to advertise for them. Salary or even a daily rate no matter how exorbitant al...

If your working with that much PRC where you need big red to help you, you should probably find a different line of work. Back in the day you’d use like 3 or 4 sim kits a year and that was enough to tell you that PRC sucks. That’s not a fair statement, in R&O we use more than that on a rebuild or c...

Are they still an agusta Westland service Center?

Short of farming or commercial fishing etc this arrangement should be illegal. Again it’s one of those things bad employers use to work you to death and pay you as minimally as possible. Hours of averaging in aviation = Bad employer.
