I don't know about that. They've been around a long time and there's no good reason they won't be around for a long time to come. If you are going in with low time and don't mind slave labour, it's an OK place to work from what I hear.

......Or NOT!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, with this contrail thing kickin around in Alberta, it might be one of the only places in AB to work for a low timer. My suggestion would be to go north, east or west, or instruct, but not there. You will sit on the ramp for 2 years, that is if they ever hire new rampies anytime soon. Oh and if you do get on, I hope you like carrots and false hopes, cuz that is all they have for you.

Second that! And after the rampies put in 2 years on the ramp they call you back to work ground positions

Heard no talks of groundschools or training low timers for a while either. by the sounds of things low time list is on hold for a while so I would recommend going somewhere else. Lots of other companies lists are picking up speed. Good luck Pikota.

That's true however the guys/gals getting hired for the ramp right now are looking at about a 1.5 to 2 year wait for a right-seat gig. Good luck on your search.

Can't Fly For A Riders Fan

Both have their merits.

My advice would be instruct if you think you would enjoy it - if you wouldn't, don't. IMHO instructing is a very important job - and trust me, the pay isn't enough to make you want to do your best all the time. So for the sake of the new pilots coming up, if you don't think you'd be able to give it 100%, go to the ramp or choose another first flying job to target.

Working the ramp is a good way to go too, as is float flying or any other avenue that gets you a flying position. I'm a big fan of the "whatever works" theory of getting started in aviation.

Just find a way to get that first flying job...
