Bush flyin' and University
Anyone here ever go to university while flying floats in the summer?

I wanted to go to community college, but it starts in September, and ends at the end of june. Not the same schedule as the ice where i work.
And now, most programs are 2 years long......cant afford to miss that much flying!
But hey, dident we go to school to be pilots, not pilots/jackofalltrades?

rye sounds like he has things set....if the employer agrees then great. If you have experience then you might have some luck....just don't tell an employer you'll be there until the end of October, that's all. If you're looking for bush work (ie. not floats) the forestry guys only go until the frost catches hold....much earlier end to the season.

Istp, the guys that I know of were working in Northwestern Ontario (Fort Frances, Ignace etc). As already posted they would fly from ice out until labor day or so and then attend school all winter. The employers never seemed to mind since by Labor Day things are slowing down anyway so it just let them off the hook as far as lay off's went. Worked great for everyone involved.
