Ggn recruiter ad.

Post by Sharklasers »

GGN is hiring a pilot recruiter, who's job I assume will be to shanghai and kidnap pilots in bars up north and press them into service.

I was thinking of more like the creepy old man from Family Guy. Maybe offering candy to entice them in ? :lol:

It will also be someone who is familiar with hiring temporary foreign workers.
Here's an idea....if you actually provide a good wage and decent working conditions, you wouldn't need to work so hard to find employees that will stick around. Amazing how times have changed in the last few years. Also amazing how some companies refuse to recognize it!

I'm not so sure, JHR..there is a limit to how much GGN can pay, and, realistically, no-one is going to stick around flying a 1900, no matter how much they pay, when bigger aeroplanes with the potential for better lifestyle/pay/pension are easily available..

That is where you have it wrong, some people would love to fly smaller airplanes if it paid well, 16 day month for 150k / yr and I bet guys would never leave the 1900

Well, pay me a Million for two days a month flying a 172, and I'm all in! Problem is, no-one has that sort of money. Same with your mythical $150/yr at 16 days a month - that's why i said that there's a limit to how much GGN can afford to pay...

Anybody that says GGN "can't" pay more, and people will always move on to better paying positions, is part of the problem! Sheesh.... show me another industry where the carrot and stepping stone mentality are that entrenched. Ridiculous.

There are plenty of 703's that have ponied up and are paying far, far more than these donuts do.

A few northern 703 carriers are paying over 100k for 704 drivers right now with around the 16 day / month mark so 150 isn’t out of the question for an expensive city like yyz.

I don't get out much but from what I've seen this is very common among emergency services workers as well. I'm sure there are others, cheap and short-term eager labour is present in all fields.

I agree, you put in your dues everywhere, but I feel like it's unique to Aviation for it to continue up to your 3rd, 4th job or further. Maybe I should go back to potato wrangling.

I've been posting about the book, "The Next Plane Crash", upon which the National Post article on GGN is partly based. My posts keep getting deleted. Clearly there's moderators that are friends of GGN and don't like a different version of the truth. So much for impartiality on Avcanada......

How do you have a "different version of the truth"? 2 sides to every story, but there is only one truth.

I disagree. A friend of mine operates a small 703 outfit with piston singles/twins. I spoke to him about attrition. He told me that when he hires, most guys tell him they want to stick around for a year and than move on. Surprisingly, he said, they all seem to stay much longer and he has no problem staffing his company. It might have something to do with the fact that he has a reputation in town for being a really good boss.

They can pay a lot more than they do. Why do you think they have ads up in the jobs section every 3 days? I do the same exact job at another express carrier and they don't seem to have any trouble staffing the operation.

The ad's and new position are due to their new agreement with Air Canada. Increased flow to AC means the crank gets turned faster than ever

Flow? Since when do any of the AC Express carriers have flow?

Some of the American feeders have flow. No such thing here.

Get your carrot-dangling bullshit out of here.
