Lots of hours to do!
PA31 and BE10. Charter and cargo (pop and chips). Moosonee can be a lot of fun, but it's not for everyone, it's a northern town. I don't regret having been there, I had a great time.

If you love the outdoors, don't need too many modern comforts, and have a sense of adventure, there are far worse places to be.

Winters are cold, summers suck due to invasion of flies.. actual invasions like never seen before...
You are very secluded from any normal civilization, pay is shit but hey were pilots.
Are you moving there with a family or solo? That could be something to discuss with your spouse, maybe even go check it out first...
If you like fishing, hunting, snowmobiling i guess its the place to be,... but i can be quite depressing at times...

Just noticed they require "Up-to-date Immunizations".
Is this common to all MEDEVAC operators? Is it more the case this season?

In all AB medevac pilots must have up to date immunizations. I am sure this is nothing new... I would want to be up to date even if they did not require it.

Good place to bulid time. A lot of multi time. They seem to have found a niche market.

A means to an end, guys don't seem to stay there for their entire careers! Wabusk would be one of the first places I'd head if I was staring a career in aviation.

How many hours do you work per month as F/O or Captain Navajo?
How much did you make per hour?
What is the housing like? Provided (Free) or you have to pay for it?
