No, you are wrong, AME’s can command very high wages in other similar industries with very little cross training.

If you folks are really interested in keeping it going, there is a company called VerticalScope, I believe based out of Toronto. They have been buying up lots of specialty forums over the last few years. A couple years back they bought up one I was a long time user of for one of my hobbies, there w...

Companies are on the ropes a bit from the lack of experienced personnel left due to the aforementioned, but I’m sure most will get by with 50 first year ames to one 20 year veteran until they run out of first years (that’s coming down the pipe, very low attendance at Colleges in the last few years)...

Depends on your point of view I suppose. Ends June 11. The vast majority have already voted. This is fifty years overdue. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if onex somehow brought in scabs, I’m seeing a ton of Westjet AME ads everywhere right now. Bunch of first year licenses and rushed type endorse...

Kaboom. It will be like nothing one has ever seen umm....in a good way or bad way? Any details? Vote ends on June 10 no? Depends on your point of view I suppose. Ends June 11.

From what I understand is covid really pushed back aviation and a lot of licensed AMEs retired.. now us students are having a very hard time finding apprenticeships that aren't 4000km+ away. It's a bit daunting really. MrFixit.... You aren't wrong. To be honest tho its been my experience that not m...

I think it’s shut down or having network issues. Can’t open the forums anymore.

So with Vertical closing in a little over a month, where is everyone planning to gather?? Is there anywhere else other than Rotorheads?? I would love to see CanAv thrive the way Vertical did without people being idiots... :smt014 I just tried viewing vertical forums several times and it comes up as...

If the same group moves here there will be pressure on this forum I’m sure as well.

MOAB wrote: ↑Sat May 04, 2024 12:37 pm There's a post in the Heli forum with the old stats.

An email to TC could verify what is current. They are very behind in their licensing process from what I was told via our company TC inspector.

TC is a mess after the pandemic, I doubt we will see any accurate stats for a few years.

Is the mythical pilot shortage real. I already got a pay raise, is it rude to ask for another a month later? There has never been a shortage EVER, there is a shortage of people willing to work for 🐕 💩 domestically however. Now these awesome operators are leaning even harder than ever on TFW’s for n...

Hey guys, I’m an AME M1/M2 in helicopters , just catching up on what is going on. Is this regarding the formation of a union at Westjet? I truly hope whatever contract you guys make is north of $70/hour for Aca. Rotary guys are charging out 80-100/hr plus flight pay in Canada (contract). I too have ...

Serisouly though. It looked liked they counted medicals that were done in office. Phone in medicals and attestations i don't think got counted.

The numbers have been rapidly declining since 2015, it’s not just that.

Anybody know anything about this company. Looking to work there doing anything. Any info much appreciated. As far as I know he sold all of his machines save one to a larger operator in Alberta. The only machine he has left registered is a B2 (C-GSTM, 2249). The amo is doing some third party stuff w...

Vertical probably got tired of the nasty grams from lawyers on the behalf of companies coming his way. I don't feel vertical had any interest in getting in the middle of a what is free speech. I don't blame him, just a small company trying to scratch out a living. To bad really. Web forums are a gr...

I'm going to jump in here and say, ahhh yes, the beauty of trying out the rotor industry in the late 00's, traveling all the way up to the north, ready to paint fences, yet no opportunity. I miss hovering and flying backwards, but with no flight instructor opportunity similar to FW to build hours, ...

Yes you can be, the way they are remunerated is none of TC’s concern, they can even be volunteer (I don’t recommend that).
