I don’t have any current info but loved my time up there. Hit the link in my signature below and search “air tindi” to see what flying up there is all about!

I must point out that some companies use a points system to establish where you sit in the pay scale. By adding up points based on total time, time on type, years of service, etc, you slot in at your appropriate 'pay step.' With this system it's quite easy to slot in to the top half of the pay scale...

Hudson Island in the Gulf Islands shares a strip from end to end right down the middle of the island. Last I talked to someone there was over 10 years ago and it didn't seem like many residents used the strip though.

I believe Air Tindi has taken the DHC7 in there a few times in the last few years.

There’s tons who commute from the Island.

I used to fly a guy regularly from Sechelt to YVR on the Beaver. Seemed to work great for him, but of course you do need more time for the ferry option just in case the weather doesn’t cooperate.

All SOPs for an engine failure that I’ve seen have “max power” as the first step. In this case that step should have solved their problem rather quickly

For someone like me who has a summer gig locked in every year and is just looking for contract or part time work I feel it could be a bit more useful. However I can understand how many hiring managers would have a stigma against hiring people from there. I did get an offer from a numbered email addr...

Both First Air and Canadian North have been hiring some 250 hr pilots to the right seat of the ATR and Dash-8. Obviously some risk of a layoff with both companies though given the merger is going ahead.

Check out First Air and Canadian North, rotations out of Iqaluit.

Schedule is changing to 9 and 6 as of next month for the same pay

6.7 hrs in the C208B survey flying out of Iqaluit.

Longest point to point is 5.4 hrs Yuma - CYEG in the Kingair 300.

I wear Serengeti Velocity Titanium Drivers Gradient. http://www.thresholdaviation.com/products/Velocity-Titanium-Espresso-Frame-Drivers-Gradient-Lens.html I like the wide lense and the Drivers Gradient has less tint on the lower part of the lense making it easier to see things inside the plane. Not...

Email HR if you’ve got questions. Or go with the speculation and guesses in the replies here!

But you had it right the first time Invertago!

We have a portable unit for the Kingair. Suction mount it to the side window when in the US and it pairs to foreflight on the ipads. Amazing wealth of info.

Dave Olesen and family has made it work very well. He's got a couple fascinating books about his life out at Hoarfrost River.

Edit: here's his blog, right up to date

Brian Tattuinee caught a great shot of it landing.

There's always more than 1 way to get into the float world. I've got about 1500 floats and have always had full time permanent positons. 9 hrs on the Super cub was my rating, and neverflown anything commercially smaller than a Beaver. Now of course the catch is instead of many seasons out east, I ch...

According to the GNWT website, bids are closed but nothing has been awarded yet.

This thing lasted 7 years up north for me. Written-off from a large dent in year 6, I kept it going for another year, even adding in the duct-taped over window and missing piece of bumper. Became a true beater car!

It's good to see Coulson isn't giving up on these things yet, I guess why not try to make a few bucks any way you can. Can't imagine there's too many pilots with an extra $25,000 US lying around though.

Hah! Glad I'm not the only one who found this hilarious.

Just like a receptionist at a dentist's office is an 'apprentice dentist' right?
Or a janitor is an 'apprentice plumber?'
or maybe even that guy at the Walmart photo lab, that's where all 'apprentice photographers' go to find work right?

Perhaps where the CARs say "...Within the 12 months preceding the date of application for the licence, an applicant shall demonstrate in a multi-engined aeroplane with no central thrust configuration..." the original intent was to differentiate from helicopter rather than to expressly disallow a mu...

Sorry, yes the original poster is fine. I was referring to Hayseed, who may have an issue.

I was planning to submit my ATPL application in the next couple of weeks. My Group 1 IFR test was done as a renewal in a flight training device sim. If some inspectors at TC will not accept an IFR renewal in a simulator, then are there other offices where my application is more likely to be approve...

By saying not a Sim, do you also imply a level D sim? Andy I just went over all of this with transport, level C and D sims are acceptable, any "Flight Training device," which have levels 1-6, are not. The manufacturer says the 1900 is a single pilot airplane but the Operations In Canada suppliment ...
