I am wondering what the advancement time period is and also the pay scale for the 737 at Canadian North? Can anyone help me?

News about 5T is rarer than "hens teeth"....seems to be a cone of silence about them lately...

I have a friend that flys the 37 for them. He seems to enjoy it. I think the route structure is a bit limited but they seem to do some cool stuff with the machines that are gravel equipped. All second hand info, sorry don't have much more to add.

I did an interview pre - F-100's.

I don't know what's changed since then, I could give you the info I had from before re pay, etc. from what I remember, but it's almost two years old.

PM me if you want me to pass it on.

I do know some of the guys there - great group running the ship. Definitely a good gig.

Cheers

Hi Tripleittt,

Pay is above industry standard with a profit sharing program.

As for upgrades, as always, it is entirely dependant on growth and right now 5T is growing with B737 F/O interviews going on this week. A class that started in September of 05 is now siting #6 on the 737 F/O seniortiy list and rumour has it that at a couple of Dash 8's and a couple of Boeing's are in the works for 07. if it all pans out there will be lots of movement and hiring this year.

Are they going to continue to wet lease the Dash 8's from Regional 1, or maybe buy some of there own?

I'm not a pilot for CDN North. Hence, I can't offer info. on them with respect to pay structure etc. However, I do check-in for them out of YVR South Terminal. I frequently speak with F/a's and pilots. In general, they seem like a great crew to work for friendly/happy & professional staff etc. I'd love to fly for em!!

If you guys don't mind, what are the min. times for a F100/ 737-200 F/O? Do they hire bush drivers? Do you need twin/turbine time?

Thanks in advance!!

The 3 folks I know who got on there all had near 4000 hours and were King Air captains at the time, and 2 of them had arctic experience. But there are stories floating around of them mixing up the pot with the odd lower timer who knew someone. I believe salaries for FO's start around the 60K mark and for captains top out around 120. But the real perk is the food!

YYC Crew,

Canadian North does a crew change charter for the Company Canadian Natural Resources (oil Patch Work), and associated sub-contractors. The flight usually arrives between 1030/ 11am (ish) via YNR/ YLW, then departs around 1230/1300 for the Horizon Aerodrome (CYNR -Near Fort Mc Murray) via Kelowna . Depending on numbers going up or down to the camp it's either a Northern Caribou DHC8-100 or Canadian North's F100 or sometimes the B 737-200.

Co joe,

Looks like i've got a while to go. You can always aim high right? Thanks for your help!!!

No problem man. Like I said those are only 3 of many more they've hired. If you spoke inuvialuit and inuktitut that might help your chances.
