Oh I just answered as best I could in the Employment section. P180 you cannot compare AES to Sonic whatever. Not even close. Airborne is a good company as far as I've heard.

Whatever you do, don't go stealing any quads from anyone at AES.

um...last I looked they were based out of Whitecourt which is about 5 or 6 hours north of Calgary. Are we talking about the same company? Unless your assuming the job HighTime was talking about is for the KA-350 based in YYC...actually HT has never mentioned what job he was applying for now that I think about it.

You got it.They offered me a job on the 350 and turned it down because of the wages.Its a good company but I didn't want to work and be on welfare.

If you don't mind me asking, what was the pay for the 350 crews?

Jesus...that's more then I make as an AME. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

65k is unfortunately industry standard for a 350 in yyc. To make more flying a King Air of any kind you'd have to go to the arctic with Borek. In fact I'd bet most companies pay less than that. Can I come work where you are P180?

OMG...I just realized that I spelt "Solutions" wrong.

It is funny reading a thread about a company I have worked at for a number of years. The funny thing is how uninformed most people are. Airborne is a great place to work. Anyone one comparing it to Sonic Blue is a total moron. Pay in the whole fixed wing industry sucks but Airborne is definately above average. Whitecourt is a great place to live, although the main reason i feel that way is the people you are there with. Great group of people. There should be no rumours about a drilling company buying Airborne as it has been a fact since January. Maintenace is top notch and has never been an issue. Anyone having a question about Airborne feel free to pm me I would be happy to help separate the truth from what some uninformed morons are saying.

P180

I can say that 65K is more then you will evermake flying the P180. Corpac's highest paid guy (2year-longest employed pilot) in YYC is under 65K on the Piaggio. Unless you got one hell of a deal with them. that should get the pilots going. Most guys started at 50K on the P180 from what i was told.
