The law enforcement industry?? This is not a flying job, it is a law enforcement job.

This is no job for a time building airline wannabe. Nor is it a commercial enterprise so profit is not an issue. Thus the high salary.

yeah, it's a lifers job.
same like the RCMP and ministry jobs...

[Leerboy]

$51000-$61000 is not a lot. I guess someone who retires and wants a hobby could use it.

[Scuba_Steve]

Dear god why a 206? I can imagine how silly it would look to be escorting dubya to the parliment buildings in a freaking 206..

get a Helo man!

I'm sure they just wanted to do it on the cheap, but c'mon!

[Aeros]

My understanding is that they got the aircraft for peanuts after it had been seized (by Customs I think).

It's called job security, and benefits, and you'll probably never be asked to break the rules... and it's in civilization....

But I guess you know a bunch more 206 drivers that are making 50k a year?

Any info as to how many pilots applied and if and when interviews will be conducted?

Applicants, I'd guess over 5,000, because you have the people that can't read applying, good on them for trying.

You'd have to ask Blastor when they called him for an interview.
