If they run it like CanJet, they'll shut it down, start it up, shut it down, start it up...and if the employees try to unionize, they'll for SURE shut it down. IMP is one company that couldn't give a crap about their employees, they're sheer commodities. Which doesn't make them particularly differe...

Now do you think they will shut down or down size Cascade?

I don"t think Cascade is running them at the moment or near future, but KFC might be, they did just pick up westjet

From my understanding Aveos was not included in the legislation, holy crap this is not good at all!! Where is the gov't now, they better not let Air Canada go out of country for their maintenance. The way I view it is they have protected Air Canada so much that they might as well be a crown corp, an...

Don't know much about the incident put here are some pics

azimuthaviation: I'm fairly certian it hasn't. And an fyi the hercs can operate with a fuse tank, but to my knowledge they rarely do because the fuse tanks total capacity is roughly equal to the capacity of the externals and they can not have fuel in both so it doesnt make much sense to use the fuse...

Yah BC ITA does recognize AME apprentices, unless my certificate of completion is a counterfeit.

Cascade has picked up again, they have recalled just about everyone layed off in the last 2 years and honestly its not that bad of a place at all. Its very early in the J program and I am fairly sure they won't be seeing the first scheduled check of one till 2012. The first trainer is under way as w...

http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/100323/world/eu_france_concorde Some what of an interesting read, moral of the story pay attention to the book, and if you buying back something, make sure you look and dont pencil whip no matter how much you trust the guy, you never know when a lapse in judgment ...

How about going back?? I almost have my licnence, just need to write cars. and am laid off. I have considered getting into dnd as an avntech but is it worth writing the exam? money is tight and I can not afford to fail at $100 a pop. Bui my situation is diffrent, I am young, single, arrogant, and sc...

Corporal is higher then private is it not? And I am decently sure about the bonus as well, I do believe i have a credible source, but as mentioned its all about what YOU get offered, and it doesn't hurt to try and negotiate.

From what I understand, your rank is your signing authority, and I also seem to remeber watching a DND saftey video where one of the "links" that caused and accident was a lower ranked person was afraid to question a higher ranked person. I have thought about going the DND route but I cant get over ...

whats the article about??

I started line and went to heavy, I too didnt have a hard time adjusting. I think the biggest issue for me with the heavy was adjusting to the idea of visual progress, and taking it down a notch. Some one once told me the diffrence between line and heavy is that in line maint your "stress"/hustle is...

8 more today, they must be at a 100% ACA ratio by now hahaha!

Mechman 22 you forgot the layoffs in November 2008 :P. And to cascades defense the 215 mods are having a lot of engineering issues, and during the summer they had an in house issue which I think has been taken care of. I found working on those hercs a great experience, infact probably a bit more in ...

Thing's like having to pay your own way(5 hour one way driving) to an interview, pay for your own shots(medevac airplane), mandatory overtime expected at straight wages, being expected to to work 14 hours plus because some jackass crewchief promise the world to the owner without thinking WTF needed...

Unions have SOME advantages, including "job security" but the big thing is SENIORITY. I think the big thing a union is good for is health and safety, and protecting you in case of incidents and helping you with "right to refuse". The disgruntled comment is definitely true tho, I have never been more...

Well you would be correct, I have no dash experience. However the thought would be trying to get EI to pay for it, I figure that or the NG course would be best. But do I want to waste that EI on an endorsment, or would a whole new trade be better? I mean i'm sure if I'm not paying for it and it incr...

Well with the industry the way it is today, and me getting bored on my ass, heres a question, how much does the avg dash8 course cost, or should I totally jump ship and get ei to retrain in a different career field. Or another option is the military, I got some exp on their hercs, apparently a decen...

Would you say its plain nuts?

Haha, Just had an interview for assembling them, pay wasnt great, but man did the job seem pretty good/relaxing/easy compared to fixing planes. The little skills test they gave was a joke.

For the whole wing walking, you dont really need a stand, you can use vacuum anchors, set a primary and secondary up attach the rope between the 2 of them and your set to walk along the wing. http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/2UZZ1 Its kinda pricey but I think you can rent them as well. http://...

1. Please provide information about the availability of employment in the field you have targeted. Include placement/employment statistics from the school or training employer and your own research (internet, unions, etc.) Check out the BCIT website for this one, they used to have a stats section un...

Pretty disappointing responses from some of the posters on this forum. "Kilpicki" feels qualified enough to suggest that a person must be "one dumb s-it" for trusting a fellow human with torque settings advice. Nice. "Aircraftnut1966" feels that since he/she paid a "price" to obtain this knowledge,...
