anyone know if this is a yyz base?

If what is a YYZ base? They don't have a YYZ base if that's what you're asking. Try YTS for the most southern location.

ouch...ok for some reason I thought they had a yyz base...

nope, and I just saw that you're referring to their job posting from today. They'll come further south eventually, but not yet.

I'd assume that any southern vacancies would be awarded to existing pilots on a seniority basis.

You want to work for ORNGE, I'd suggest you invest in a Parka.

They pay 76K for captains, so I don't get it either. It's always captains too and never F/O's.

Really good point.

And...
If we're calling Timmins or Thunder Bay "north" then things aren't that bad out there and guys shouldn't be complaining. They should be so lucky to have to spend a couple years flying "that north".

Perhaps I met one of these guys yesterday, he was in a high end clothing store in Southern Ontario trying on a Snow Goose parka. I was curious where he was headed and inquired.

"Oh I LIVE up North"
...no kidding, where?
"Barrie"

He's now buried in my back yard.

Ah... you are starting to ask the right questions.

Actually no, the point is there are a hell of a lot worse places to make 80 per year with 2000hours than Timmins.

I second that. And Timmins even has a Shania museum!

Just curious

Is Ornge still expected to begin operations in October 09'? Or has their been another delay?

Thanks

They are already operating at least one plane out of Thunder Bay.

Came through the Sault at the start of september....callsign Pulse? It looked like Ornge to me but I was about 1/2 mile away.

I am more than a little surprised ORNGE is still actively looking for captains. Talk about a cushy job! With the way the industry is today, they should be pretty much buried in resumes. Am I missing something? Are they looking for something "special"??

Beach 200 · Post by **Beach 200** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 7:38 am

I heard they have all the pilot's they need. They are just "building" their respective pilot pool for the quitters. I think once they get a taste of the BS that goes on at Ornge's OCC they will get fed up pretty fast!

The old "i have a pile of resumes on my desk "trick hahahahahahahahaha
No pressure there ehhhh

Now that they have an International OC they may be flying a lot of snowbirds from down south home for treatment.Although i doubt they will be all treat and returns.Surprised that the CTA allowed it as it may give our neighbours another rock for the FAA/DOT to throw at us.They tried to stop the NHL charters ,so it may get strange if a government subsidized air service starts long haul ambulance trips dep into their market .
Some CEOs at not for profit quangos will often give themselves huge pay raises for themselves and their handpicked pals and do everything in their power to ensure that the quango never makes a profit.E health is a prime example of lack of good governance and pure waste of tax funds.This quango just spent over two hundred millions in a time of deficit on foreign built aircraft.Wat to show confidence in Canadas aviation industry from the same muppet show that brought you e-health

Actually...US to Canada and Canada to US is not the problem, either country's air carriers can provide this service. The objection was with a Canadian carrier providing service from one US city to another US city.

You are correct. Pulse is the ORNGE callsign.

It's basically a "government air service" and as such, you'd have to have bull shit up the ying yang!
They're one "chip light" from a mass exodus.

76K with no bond sounds great!
