Housing Provided

[goingnowherefast]

Looking at the latest Beech 1900 captain job at North-Wright. It mentions accommodation provided. Also a vehicle and fuel.

North-Wright isn't unique in offering accommodation and transportation. What I'm starting this thread about is to discuss what type of accommodation various places are offering? It it a 40-year old dump that 15 other pilots sleep in as well? Or can someone move up with their family and be given a 4 bedroom house?

90k is a reasonable salary IF if it also comes with a nicely equipped house and a new-ish truck. That's probably worth about 5k/month in expenses that a family doesn't have to pay (Yellowknife housing prices).

90k is terrible if one parent is sleeping in a dumpy work-camp style accommodation while the other parent lives with the kids in a house they need anyway, and are required to paying for.

I heard they bought up a lot of the empty houses and give them to employees. The better ones get taken by the longer time employees and so on down the line. I'd really question them about the house you'd get if you move a family there. And be sure you get more than a beat up company truck to get you to and from work. It's very very isolated and a lot of the long time folks who never get out are a bit (how to put it delicately) Bushed??

Good people in that community. With that said, you spoke eloquently. 5X5
