705 jobs that are flexible to non-aviation contract work?

[McKinley]

I’m looking at switching careers gradually. I’m hoping to use my existing career at a regional as a means to leave.

It looks like I’ll need to take a month or so off to work in the field while I’m being licensed in my alternate profession.

Work in my alternate profession is typically 6 on 1 off-0800-1900. It can be as much as 7 days on for the duration of the 25 -30 days.

This would mean taking 25 ish days off (unpaid) here and there while I work contracts.

Is there any 705 carrier that would accommodate this?

Thanks in advance.

Maybe look at a rotational job? Voyageur could fit the bill. Typically 8 weeks in, 8 weeks out. On your time off you can do and go wherever you like.

Thanks ! Kids are also a factor … which would be a tough one being away for 8 weeks.

Easy.

Just pick one of the plethora of shitty Canadian 705s. Work until you can’t and then quit. Pick another one when you’re done.

Do seniority numbers and schedule even matter compared to flexibility as you’re looking to leave aviation anyways?

Always look out for #1.

The issue I have is I’m trying to setup my alternate career while flying. ( I need a year of every level experience to get licensed)

If I have a job, I don’t have to bite my nails about money while dealing with that initial year of crappiness.

It seems like despite the shortage most 705 operations want to offer 20+ days a month or nothing.. which makes this plan difficult.

Lots of Northern 705s offer rotations that could work for you. Summit, Canadian North, North Star Air, Wasaya, Air Inuit, etc
