Borek's Maldive op??

[notaxrus]

Can anyone shed any light on the wages for Captains?? Is Brown (ex-BC Tel ) still there or Don Boe??

[turbo-beaver]

Mike is with West Jet......don't know about the other fellow

[just curious]

Done is semi retired. He flies for 3 weeks, they have a huge retirement party for him, and he goes home, diets for three weeks and goes to the next base for a lavish retirement party.

Mike is a rich airline pilot now. Never stops in to visit.

Don is heading back to YZP for the summer.....Nice location for another retirement party!

[Cat Driver]

Jeses if Don is retiring I really feel old now.

[notaxrus]

Ok, thats fine. Thanks guys for the info.

[KAFUFO]

say's what te pay is on the job add doesen't it $60-$70

[livemags]

Kinda off topic but thought i'd post here instead of starting a new thread...

Just want to confirm that you DON'T need the IATRA for F/O in the dives? Just multi-ifr and a float rating?

Thanks.

[KenoraPilot]

CPL, Multi-IFR, Float Endorsement all u need for F/O.

[Chuck Ellsworth]

Are you enjoying it Kenora pilot?

[just curious]

CPL, Multi-IFR, Float Endorsement all u need for F/O.

Plus sunblock, Teva sandals, and revo-style sunglasses. And a facebook account.

[livemags]

Thanks guys. I didn't think you needed the IATRA. At least not for the DHC-6.

Plus sunblock, Teva sandals, and revo-style sunglasses. And a facebook account.

Check, Check, Check, and Check!

CPL, Multi-IFR, Float Endorsement all u need for F/O.

and 250 PIC min would surely help a lot

[livemags]

If you're a little short on that PIC time does Borek do that PIC under supervision thing?

[just curious]

Yep, but you're on your own for the Facebook account.

[seahawk]

Is it the Multi or Multi IFR needed for FO. Can't be alot of IFR on floats, can there?

[just curious]

When hired, you can anticipate that after a Maldives posting, you will at some poiny have to fly in the rest of te world, where night and clouds are a part of the job.

Training and PPC ride is in Canada, ergo, multi IFR is a requirement.

[KenoraPilot]

Ya have seen guys get hired at Borek for the Maldives with 250TT and 7 hours on floats with MIFR. You need the MIFR because you need to do the IFR PPC on the Twin Otter in Calgary/Inuvik before you head over to the Maldives. And yes I am loving the Maldives!! So awsome, flown about 100 hours this month with one day of flying left to go. Can't beat the flying and the shut downs are excellent! Good food, a real bed and off to Kuredu tonight for a 1 hour Massage for $15USD! Can't beat it! NO IATRA.

[SQ]

that sounds great
what about the pay ?

[KenoraPilot]

For Capts I don't know for sure, but I know they never could spend all of it in Male! The F/O wage is a little.....weak. At the end of the month we bring home $1700. There is talk's of a raise coming for everyone at MAT. However, living down here doesn't cost you anything....housing is free, most of the transpo is free, overnights at resorts are free, its all good here. Its hard to spend the $700USD Tax free money MAT gives you.....easy if you buy big ticket items but just on food and living expenses....naw
any other questions. It is the dream job!

[livemags]

Do you apply for a red pass when getting hired at borek for the maldives op?

[KenoraPilot]

I got a red pass in YYC before I left, but I had one in YWG so it took me two seconds to get it. They give you the paper work, but I don't think you NEED to get it, not until you get back to Canada.
