My dad was with me visiting in Yellowknife at the same time I was working at Buffalo Airways, I got a call from the CP at Little Red, interview the next day!! My dad said, lets drive to Fort Vermilion and back, will drive all night and switch turns if we have too, do the interview and ten drive back...

Naaah, It was Turkish Airlines.

Oooooh ladies. So is it a decent company?

Must be a good gig, there's nothing on AvCanada about them!

Is Bill not running the show at R1 anymore?

Is any of this information readily available to the public?

Well, It could always be worse, you could be hired with a current 200 rating by Airbone and still be asked to sign a 14K bond for recurrent training just cause its, "how we do things".

I asked an A330 Captain a while ago about this I had noticed departing Dar Es Salaam some time ago. His answer was that they sometimes leave them down a little longer due to brake temperatures and using the airflow to cool them down.

Well, if thats bad, how about the three that had minor injuries who were taken to the hospital by ambulance and all ended up being killed en route in a traffic accident. POLE SANA! Only in Africa. Seeing as they were parked at the ramp and chocked i'm sure most of the passengers or crew were standin...

Who is in this gang of yahoos and do you know them? :smt040 The jet time is still jet time, that can't be bad. I can count two people I know who left an RJ for WJ. The jet time would be perfect for me cause it is a foot in for the EK end EY requirements. If Val dropped the pay up front I wonder what...

So what you're saying is that if you're furloughed and the time on your bond is not up yet, that if you go somewhere else, you lose the money? That is LAME!!! That is not what I said. I was interviewd by them a while back and they mentioned the bond. The lady from HR said VAL will live up to their ...

If your layed off and time is up on your bond, you get your money back.

Does a Category III IR suffice for ATPL requirements??

No I didn't pay for them, instead I payed it back by rolling drums of P50 and Jet in the DC3. Doing the 16hr days for the river shuttles when there was no Mackenzie River ferries or ice crossing. Shortly after I quite and good a good flying job, (No Bond). Buck . and Droopy, why is it so hard for yo...

Props Ahead, "Pole Sana" (So Sorry in Swahili) It is rough eh? Man i called every bloody operator in the Southern continent of Africa, Im sure Buffalo Joe had an interesting phone bill at the end of the month. But I eventually got through to a few kept in good contact until I showed up and they were...

ditar,

Clever name, I miss you man, come to Africa. I check ya on 122.75 Later bro!

The sandbox isn't for all kids.

Buffalo Airways went there two and a half years ago to fetch a down CHL 206. Maybe call around there and ask if they have any tips. Jim Meritt was one of the captains. Although they did it in a DC4 but still worth a shot.

Maybe in Gabon? There was some stuff going on over there, "Air Service Gabon" something like that. Which airport are you working for right now? Good Luck

Your right 2R I guess they can get rid of this Maintenance forum too if people are going to be so ignorant. What good is it anyways right? The forum for the know it alls are on Pprune maybe?? I just handed in my two weeks, i'm going to cut my wrists instead of fly the C208B. Anyways, I cant know eve...

Thanks for the word on the lights you guys. In regards to the boost pump on during washes, I don't think so, how often do they need to be done?? Im sure our company doesn't do them enough, were are right n the coast of the indian ocean. Lots of salt water residue I am sure. Not a float operator thou...

Why must we leave it on until the Fuel Boost pump Annunciator flashes? Maybe this is just a few companies I see doing it or not I dunno. But, We are asked to do it. Some people say it is to fill the EPA can with the residual fuel inside, some say it is to fill the pressure in the lines when you put ...

This is a broken record that will never end. Doc, , Why don't you old Farts tell the, "Kids" about the 2 year bond for a Cessna 206, 10 000USD no retroactive contract Sefofane makes you pay in Botswana, or Precison, 15000 Euro in Tanzania for a ATR rating. Im not saying it is right what VAL does, at...
