A B100 is under 12,500 and not high performance so you wouldn't need to hop over.

Slipster · Post by **Slipster** » Mon Dec 22, 2008 12:51 pm

In my haste I asked one too many questions

My bad. Im more interested in the operation.

C-GGGQ · Post by **C-GGGQ** » Mon Dec 22, 2008 1:05 pm

No prob

Unfortunately i can't answer any other questions yet (talking to them as we speak though.)

However the B100 is a type Rating.

Got word from my agent ( 3 yr old son) who phoned accidentally and got through

. My boy passed the phone to my other agent (wife) and it seems the pa31 might be based out of YYC as well in order to give the 100 FO some PIC time ...makes sense to me. Yeah YVR wouldve been nice. Its also nice to see some jobs still surfacing. Im still interested in the $$$$$$ ??? Anyone privy to that info yet??

B100 (garrett engines) is a type rating and is a high performance aircraft.

LOL...my horse is in the glue factory.....well, not yet.

Anyways, hopefully I can shed some light on a few questions that were posted

1200 with 300 Multi?? Do they do a lot of challenging flying and if so hows the pay?
Our aircraft are currently based at YVR and the King Air is in Nelson. In our opinion, both of these arears require some experience and flying background.

Can you hop over to the other AC for some command time???
Yes. We encourage all of our crews to be cross trained on all of our aircraft types. Currently we have three different machines and all crew are trained on each.

However the B100 is a type Rating.
Correct.

Im still interested in the $$$$$$ ??? Anyone privy to that info yet??

The starting wage will be approximately $41,000 per year. This is for the King Air F/O position that will be based in YYC.
We are strongly considering bringing our Navajo to Calgary as we have been approached about some consistent flying. The person we are looking for will be PPC'd on the Navajo as well as the BE10(we will of course pay for PPC's on aircraft). It is not required that you have a previous PPC in order to be hired. There will also be no bond in place but we are looking for pilots who are looking to commit for a year or more to further build their time and develop their careers on our machines.

Do they have anything based in Nelson? If not, are there any plans?

The BE10 has been based in Nelson for the last few months. We are possibly entertaining the idea of offering a weekned schedule service from Nelson to Vancouver. We are in the stages of investigating the economics of this run. Tenative starting dates would be end of May, if at all. Scheduled service is a tough racket and before commiting to anything we want to be sure it is worthwhile.

Hopefully this helps answer a few questions. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us at the information provided. Fly safe!

Sounds like a great place to work. That king air FO position pays more than CMA 1900 captain starting salary.

I hope you guys do well. You seem like a great operation. Nelson was alway one of my favorite place to fly into with the 350 flying medevac.

cheers

Any chance of low timer pilots being hired as Navajo FO's? (Assuming you run the navajo 2-crew)

Just another canuck · Tue Dec 23, 2008 10:30 pm

According the website, they do fly the Navajo two crew. Not sure what the requirements are to get in the seat though.

Slipster · Post by **Slipster** » Tue Dec 23, 2008 10:30 pm

Its great to see those wages with no bond!!

Great job KDA!!!

All the best with your ventures I'll be keeping on eye on your growth ... Happy Crew = Happy Customer = more AC

Yeah Nelsons great to fly in and out of.

Freddy_Francis · Post by **Freddy_Francis** » Tue Dec 23, 2008 11:10 pm

A little off topic, but what are the requried hours for an FO to get his ATPL? Seems like a good company, diverse flying and and nice choice of aircraft, id be very interested to know if they take low timers.

marktheone · Post by **marktheone** » Wed Dec 24, 2008 6:23 am

I don't think they do take low timers. I got turned down yesterday. I thought for sure it was a lock. Double or nothin, done deal. Oh well.

Just f_ckin wit ya B.A.

PS, I really thought I could do some contract flying for you though. Not interested in full time for obvious reasons but I wouldn't mind working the odd weekend.
