A certain outfit at Pearson Airport that operates 1900's and Caravan's. They look great at first, but trust me, NO ONE stays longer than they have to. The 2 head cheeses running the maint. are to be avoided at all costs.

It would be best to ask everyone to pm you with their answers as mentioning names on here just gets Avcanada a lot of nasty emails.

Hi Wingnut
I am wondering if you have received any replies concerning
any companies in BC. I am wondering if you have heard about any experiences with a certain BC company.
If you could reply to me personally to my e-mail at paisley_woodward@cbc.ca I would appreciate it.
Thanks

I don't know why anyoone would want to start such a silly debate here. We are not here to bitch about our bosses. If you don't like your boss or job then move one. You must have great credentials from what I guess here. It also proves that you never had a plane or a company on your own which should shut you off right there. Employees don't really have the option to choose and pick when they are hired, or are they? Afterall, as AME's we are mechanics. I repeat: MECHANICS. We have a tool box and we fix things. So, keep your nose to the grind stone.

Wingnut, I think our friend Paisley is looking to be a hero at the CBC with a juicy story about a certain Caravan accident on the Island.

Yeah. . .we . . .are. . .MECHANICS!!!.. . .such a nice term. . . .but we do get to pick who hires us

Pilots are Chauffeurs.

Flight Attendants are Waitresses

We are . . . . .????

Mechanics. Like it was said, people who repair something that is broken or that has to be replaced. Now, leave your ego at home.

What operators should you avoid? "Smooth" operators.
