If that's true, what has changed?
A friend of mine went there a couple years ago and I saw his scheduel for the month. It was very high credit pairings and he was only working, I believe it was 12 days, it might have been 11. It was almost enticing enough to explore as a new job, but in the end I couldn't see myself working in the artic for the next 30 years.

Info was given to me when I asked. This was for the Dash. I think it was less days before but then the pulled out of Hay River and now you have the deadheads to YZF at the beginning and end of pairings.

I believe there are multi-day Dash pairings out of YFB also. Deadheading in/out, still based in YEG.

Just wondering what the guys/gals hours are like that are getting a call. On their web site it says 1500hrs but if you try to submit a online resume in it says the min is 1500hrs pic. Just curious if anyone has any info on that.
Thanks

The 18 days a month is the most you will/can get posted. I have rarely worked 18, I'd have to say my average is closer to 15 or 14. Deadhead days to YZF or YFB count as well so of the 15 you might be actually flying more like 11. All quite variable of course!
