So if we HAD to compare out of the three Navajo operators in the mainland/island area. Orca, KD and Island Express which one would you say would be best to spend some time at ? I realize we are looking at different shades of grey here but let's give it a shot for the sake of argument and good entert...

You've obviously never been to YXL! It is a town that is what you make of it. Jason is a very nice guy (I think he's backing this operation). It's been a few years since I talked to him, but he always ran a first class operation! Haha you're almost right cndpilot77... Been there a couple of times t...

I have no idea about the company but Sioux Lookout isn't bad. It has your typical northern town social issues but generally the people are very nice, there is a real grocery store, Tim Hortons, Subway, etc. Dryden is an hour and a half drive away and Kenora is 3 hours if you need to escape to somew...

Anyone knows anything about this company? What kind of work do they do ? Only out of YXL ? What's the schedule and pay like for a PA31 captains there ? Flight hours a month ? Are all pilots based in YXL ? What's it like to live in YXL ? Too many questions,I know I know... Didn't get a call or anythi...

Mind you it is still a good place to go and get some time, experience and get an upgrade.

FO on the King air is 32K a year to start. You need 500TT and your AA's written or that other test that I cannot remember the name of now hahaha. Typically took 8-12 months to make capt on the HO (Need 1000 TT for single pilot IFR) King Air Medevac Schedule 12 days on 12 days off. Bases are The pas...

Missinippi Airways based in CJR3 operates a fleet of Navajo Chieftains and King Air 200s servicing CZFG (Pukatawagan) They also have a base in Norway house (Currently King Air) Good machines, decent pay, maintenance was always well looked after. Lots of upward movement. Thanks for your reply x15. I...

Brantford Flight Centre paid their instructors a base salary when I did my cpl there 4 years ago.

I believe Seneca, Sault and Confederation pay their instructors a salary too.

Thank you for the replies and suggestions everyone... I have had a couple of calls so far but nothing solid so the search is still on!

Hi there! I will be getting laid off soon and I am looking for advice/tips regarding were to look for a decent Navajo gig? I am looking for a company that does a fare bit of flying, pays a decent wage and in a town/city that is not too smal (doesn't have to be a major city, just something with a gy...

Not sure if that is sarcasm or if you're serious Lost Lake... Don't know much about them actually.

Anyone care to provide some details (pay, schedule, bases and equipments) regarding flying a Navajo for Transwest ?

They've been around for a few years, seen about half of the fleet, well kept and taken care of, couldnt tell you about working conditions, heard rumors about the pay but thats all i got Ok, what were those rumours about the pay ? Fort Mac is not a cheap place to live that's for sure. Also, looking ...

You've talked to Superior out of YRL, I assume? The new ownership has really helped things, so I have heard. Not yet but I will definitely send them a resume today, thanks! My understanding is that a lot of the operators in that region don't hire this time of the year due to the winter road season.

I would consider that but I would rather build some more mpic and pic time first.

Neither.

Perimeter has some of the longest ramp times around these days. Start at a place with Navajos, Caravans, King Airs, etc. and avoid ramp traps like Perimeter, West Wind, etc.. How did you come up with that conclusion with perimeter? Do you know someone who works there? I was going to ask him the sam...

Your best bet would be Perimeter... 12-16 on the ground in Winnipeg or Thompson --> First Officer for 16 months to 2 years-->captain for a year or 2 then off to the airlines you go if that's your thing. Best gig you can get if you want stability while waiting for that airlines job.

Good luck!

Can someone share some info (schedule, pay, moral, management)on Missinippi Airways on here so everyone can see ? Just wondering cause I know they have new management now and it's looking like they are making a come back in Manitoba (which is great to see btw). I'm specifically interested in the Nav...
