So I heard all the NDA pilots that had interviews with TWA did not have enough time to meet the mine contract requirements !! Funny how they were doing mine runs when they worked at NDA. The word is that Webster lied to the mines and bumped up everybody's PIC time to meet the requirements. Seems ironic that he now whats to become a full time preacher.

Actually, most of the guys had waivers to fly the mine scheds. You could waive either the TT, the PIC, or the ME time as long as you had the other two and had a certain amount of time flying in Northern Saskatchewan. 200 could be subtracted a year for time served in N Sask I believe.

I'm pretty sure there is but I'm not 100%.

Well if that's true, Twa has no excuse left for not up grading some of their own guys. My buddy keeps telling me that the only reason they can't get up graded is because of the mine contracts. Sounds like it is time to put the pressure on management, especially if they hire some of those NDA captains that don't meet the requirements. Don't let them screw you boys.
