Doc I appreciate where you are coming from. But I fail to see how Val taking out a loan for 8k in my name or signing a bond for 8k is really any different. Either way if I leave early I'm left paying the bill. There are still lots of companies, like Winair in the sunny Caribbean for example, that wo...

Hey Everyone, VAL offered me Capt. BE200 based in either Timmins or Sioux Lookout. I was wondering if there are any current VAL Capts. based in these places that could tell me what it's like. What the sked is like, the towns, the company....etc Can you tell me what the word on the street is wtr to O...

Thanks for the info Altiplano. It's really appreciated. They sound like a great company and from what I"m hearing are really great to work for.

Just wondering if anyone has any information on Flair Air.

Ex:
Safety record, Monthly schedule, hours per year, pay, training bond, travel benefits, what they are like as a company etc.

Thanks in advance.

I was just wondering if anyone has had any luck or knows of anyone with Canadian licences that got hired in China. I was looking more into the regional airline side of things as I'm not type rated on a Boeing or an Airbus. Any help or information would be really appreciated.

Having gone to SC myself, I can tell you that I didn't fully appreciate my experience there until a few years after I left. I believe the moment came to me on a PPC ride that my company underprepared me for (ex. Here's the a/c for 1 hour, go learn how to fly it...what? you didn't get any ground scho...

Well are they cool looking?? If so I can I get one??


......Hey what's the difference between God and a Pilot??



God doesn't think he's a pilot!

Yeah Widow, just hang in there and when you are ready try it again. It took me a couple of "practice days" of seeing if I could go just one day. That way it didn't seem so bad. I used alot of mental stuff too. Like everytime you have one, tell yourself that you are stronger then this and you don't n...

If you are interested in flying down here.... I know that Winair is still looking, so if you have twin otter or islander time, this might be a good option. The work is great, the beaches are wicked, the company is better then most. If you want more info PM me

Winair is looking for pilots with Islander or Twin Otter experience.... pm me for more info

.80@410 I normally don't get involved in these pissy little girl fights that happen over the internet, but I just can't let this one slide. I'll have you know that not only is vaghanna a family member but also a former colleague and a true friend of the Capt in question. I am a friend and only wish ...

Hey Widow,

I quit smoking almost 2 months ago, and the first three days were the worst. But now I feel incredible and will never look back. I found that always chewing gum, or a mint or something like that worked the best. Just keep yourself busy. Good luck on quitting!!!

There are many operators down here that are desperate for pilots. The are a few in AXA that need experienced Islander pilots asap. Also a couple of airlines in SXM that will be looking for the fall. All you need is your Canadian Licences (medical, radio etc.)....nothing more....time on type is requi...

Agreed!! Especially that last one!!

If you like the Yellow Label, try McWilliams Cabernet. Roodeberg from S.A. is a good one as well.

Thanks Mac, I'm gonna look to see if I can find them where I'm at...are these pretty easy to find??

My vote is Wolf Blass Yellow Label's Cab. Sav (South Austrailia) or Lindemans Bin 40 Merlot (from S.A. as well I think) both are great bottles that will run you around $15. Also an Ernest and Julio Gallo Zinfandel is always a good inexpensive choice.

Cheers

It has to be Keith's .....

If not then Heineken or Corona/Carib (with a lime)

There is a little pizza place down the road from the airport in Sechelt, BC, it's a 10 - 15 min walk or a 2 min drive. It's called Pepper Creek Pizza and they serve slices from 12 until 3:30, I swear it's worth the stop just for the pizza.

I found that I was paying alot on the exchange so I got an US dollar Mosaik Mastercard. They are pretty new, and work just like their Canadian partners. You can apply through a BMO or over the phone. Also you can get Airmile rewards with it too. The only issues I've had are paying it off. You can on...

845 Avro Arrow Sqn. from 98 - 02 ITAC 99 Glider 01 Power 02 Sault College 05 Currently flying Islanders in the Caribbean. I have to give lots of credit to the Air Cadet system for getting me started in my career. I really recommend youth to at least go and investigate the organization and see what i...

Hey all, I have a lead for a 6 month position in the St. Maarten/Anguila area...not sure about any details, but they are looking for a pilot starting asap, with Islander time already, preferably with a current PPC or PPC in general. It's a 6 month contract to start and then a chance to re-new at tha...

True. I know what Sudbury has to offer

TPBM wishes istp would write another one of his great aviation stories.

Hang in there Clunckdriver. When I got one of my first flying jobs (which wasn't too long ago) I would have given my right arm (and my days off) for another day of flying, and years later I'm still like that. The newest wave of pilots coming are more then willing to do almost anything to get those f...

If you are in the Toronto area, Aviation World and Threshold Aviation are two good places to try. When I bought mine, Threshold matched the price at Aviation world to get my business. Haven't been back that way in a while, so I'm not too sure who's still around. Good luck.
