Anyone know anything about this? Dragonfly Airways? Just curious.

Relief pilot on a C206, well it's about time they put a cruiser on a single engine airplane. All that rough low level airwork is damned exhausting. I just wonder where they put the bunk.

sounds like you're there to give the driver hand jobs when things get stressful....

First they laughed when they put co-pilots in king-airs. Then when they put them in Navajo's, they became the butt of so many jokes. Then they garnered scorn for being co-pilots on a Caravan.

What will people think of co-pilot on a 206?

Good luck putting that one in your logbook.

The ad didn't say co-pilot, it said relief pilot, as in someone to help out part-time as PIC.

I think that this company is called Selkirk Remote Sensing and they are a photo survey outfit based at YVR.

I am guessing that the position is to give the other pilot days off as required.

Just my 2 cents....

THAT is freakin' hilarious, mostly because the pilot is a she!! You know what they say about assumptions...

Seems like a great gig. Some low timer should be all over that offer like white on rice.

Read it again!....I don't see anything wrong with it...the only prob I see is the 500hr requirments...that will be a bit high I would think. Anyone with 500 hours can go up north & jomp co-jo on a Kingair....but if you want to stay south & not be part of the "single or divorced pilots" group, I would say GO FOR IT!!!....providing the pay is good & conditions safe

There are plenty of pilots out there with a lot more than 500 hrs who have walked away from full-time aviation for other careers, but are still very interested in flying part-time a few days a month. I'm one who does that and I know a number of others as well. If I was in the Vancouver area I'd be calling them in a heart beat.
