Re: Ornge hiring
It mentions on the bottom of their add that they want you to quote "PC12 Pilot Pool", so I would assume it is for a pool.
For pay, I heard they pay above average for PC12 pilots. That was third party info.

Re: Ornge hiring
Very good gig from what I hear, as long you're not chasing the big iron..not the best job for time building.

Re: Ornge hiring
They used to hire people with 500hrs for f/o, not sure if that's true today though.

Not firm. I know of people right now getting in with a bit less, but not much.

Re: Ornge hiring
Were you there on the YPM ramp when those airplanes arrived? Did you see who else was on the ramp and where they were parked when those other airplanes arrived? If not, you should probably keep your opinion to yourself.

Re: Ornge hiring
For captains on time off, is it rotations out of Sault Lookout or are you required to be there.

Re: Ornge hiring
Don't work there but have friends that do. Rotations are 4 on 4 off. You do get called of days off but it's optional.
Re: Ornge hiring
Anyone have any current info for Ornge?
Specifically salary, benefits, pension and obviously how the rotation works.
Thanks,

Re: Ornge hiring
2 crew on a PC12, what exactly does the "FO" do? The plane was built from the ground up to be a single pilot ship.

Re: Ornge hiring
They are far from the only operator to fly it with 2 crew. In fact, I know more operators who fly it 2 crew than single pilot. What exactly is your beef with having an extra set of eyes and another job in our industry?

Re: Ornge hiring
I'm all for jobs, and I know of a few operators flying two crew as well, heck why not add a flight engineer too? That would add another job and another set of eyes. Better yet we could make Cessna 172s require a FO too.
Just seems like making a single pilot plane a multi crew plane is a little silly, sometimes having too many cooks in the kitchen spoils the stew.

Re: Ornge hiring
Don't know a heck of a lot about the operation and service. Obviously medevac. But my guess would be its 2 crew for that reason?

Is this days or weeks?DanWEC wrote:Don't work there but have friends that do. Rotations are 4 on 4 off. You do get called of days off but it's optional.
Re: Ornge hiring
My understanding is that its days. 4 days of days, 4 off, 4 nights, 4 off, repeat. 12 hour shifts. If the shift roles over the 12 hours its overtime, or the option to postpone/cancel the trip until the next crew starts depending on the nature of the call. This is all second hand information mind you.
