Hey Guys/Gals,

Have you heard good things about this company? If not, please pm me with the details, otherwise, shoot away. I see that they are looking for guys right now. Any other companies looking by word of mouth?

I'm kind of in the market for a full time job until October at least, after which I plan on spending a year travelling south america. Plans change, we'll see.... Either way, I will be making clear to whichever employer I work for that I plan on leaving so there won't be any surprises/hurt feelings when the time comes. I'm in Sask. right now, but I'll be moving out to Calgary in a week or two to find a job.

Cheers!

Well, from what I have heard.....if you like scrubbing corrosion out of bellies and have dreams of going through barrels of LPS3, RMA is a great place to work. Everyone I have ever known that has worked there did not spend too much time there, they very quickly moved on. Although the work is not always glamorous, I have never heard any complaints about the people in the company, they seem to be a good group of guys.

Thanks for the tip! (although I have put up with worse things for longer periods of time in the past

)

I was itching for a road trip last night so I drove to Calgary, early this morning I had a job at Borek. Looks like a really nice place with a great bunch of guys! (I already know some of them) I was amazed to see so many specialty shops all building parts and pieces for the T/O! I was used to being a jack-of-all trades (no more breathing Endura, yippeeee!!!) See y'all in the arctic!!

Cheers!

Hay crazybushman if you can check the log times on KBA's T/O's and see the highest time.

Have fun in Inuvik, from what I hear its busy again.

I'll keep my eye out for the highest time t/o, they probably own it, although by the looks of things in Calgary, a 30K plane would be hard to tell apart from a 3K plane

At the last place I worked, a 25K T/O looked like a 25K T/O, after 30 years without a paint job, they start to look like a quilt, all the bumps and bruises get touched up with various shades of colour over the years....

Cheers!

Did you work for Bearskin or is the multi colour touch up industry wide?
