All well and good if you live in YOW, why not share with the rest of the country and open it up to positions in all TC offices from west coast to east? Or are they simply mirroring the industry practices and expecting those that want it bad enough will find a way there and use their car as suitable ...

Jobs on the horizon?

In practice, the Canjet and Sunwing foreign pilots do not contribute one red cent to EI. But no one in Government seems to care.

But they can't collect EI either, I expect the company still has to contribute their portion to the fund.

Well, spending time and money to train your own people might just be the cost of doing business, no? If their business model doesn't allow them to make a profit without bringing foreign pilots, then it might be a good idea to look somewhere else... To the crux of the matter, if the costs don't supp...

I have made reasonable efforts to train Canadian citizens and permanent residents in order to meet my labour needs, where possible. For sake of discussion, is it reasonable to spend the dollar amounts required to train 60 or more specialized workers for temporary positions? Don't know the real cost...

Hypothetical question... What if the people that do the hiring at SWG just didn't like any of the laid off candidates that applied? Didn’t feel their personalities were a good fit for the company or some other soft skill wasn’t quite what they wanted? In this day and age of globalization I have a ha...

I support the idea of forcing Canadian companies to only hire employees with Canadian passports, companies shouldn't be allowed to control things like payroll costs through creative hiring practices. If margins are that tight raise your airfares to make up the difference... If you can't compete pack...

Manufacturing is on a steady decline in North America, its happening overseas. Why? Because we the consumer won't pay the prices needed by the company making the goods when they are produced here. Wages drive the production costs beyond what the market will pay. Solution? Outsource... In the BC situ...

isn't it the government thats trying to bring the jobs back, not the companies? The companies books are doing just fine. The investors didn't buy in to create high paying jobs and be hailed as corporate nice guys. If I own a mine and can hire qualified labour 25% cheaper simply by recruiting outside...

I expect your right, if I was unable to get a job because the company I wanted to work for was hiring "outside" labour at a cheaper cost I would be pissed and pointing my finger. However in this day and age of free trade , globalization, survival of the fittest etc what do you expect? I'm not a fan ...

Well I think its pretty simple really, the company is a private entity. I imagine it has a board of directors and a bunch of investors that put thier money in upfront. They expect a profit from thier investment of capital. They should be free to hire whoever the %$#@ they like at whatever price they...

Flashlight? Two words on that subject... Day VFR

I thought the next article was better, the apoligy!

We all freely choose the beds we sleep in... if you didn't know what you were getting yourself into when you made the jump from PPL to CPL shame on you! You could have gone the management route at some point, you elected not to. I love the guys that point up and say they should cut their salary in h...

Colonel Sanders chicken can't be far behind! Beat them by several years, both Pizza Hut and KFC set up in the Northern Store in Oxford House around 1995 or 96. When it first opened they were flying in 30,000 to 40,000 lbs of chicken a week, tapered off after about 2 months to about 5,000 lbs per we...

Doc wanted me to ask you if your response means there is some kind of pay for training scheme going on in B.C. relative to paramedic employment. Do you have to sign a bond or do you pay for it up front and call it required education, sort of like being a gym teacher or a cop and police college?

Well if nothing else you are perpetuating the notion that pilots as a group are cheap and always looking for an angle or a get rich quick scheme. A $3.00 Iphone App? Most are 0.99, what have you developed that its 3x the average cost? How many aircraft types and configurations or is it just for the ...

The Bee's are hilarious, I've watched it 50 times and am still laughing, in addtion to the head on the one that lands short is also funny...Best video reply on AvCanada ever!

http://www.tbnewswatch.com/news/146658/Wasaya-Group,-First-Nations-jump-into-helicopter-business Hmmm this guy seems to have a great plan moving forward, he just needs to crawl into bed with Discovery Air and Exchange Income Corporation and he will have the entire market covered. Does anybody else ...

Its a simple equation combine O2, fuel and an ignition source = fire Take one element out of the formula and fire is impossible. The problem with hauling high volumes of fuel by air into remote locations is getting it out of the tanks; it requires a pump, one with a decent flow rate so you don't sit...
