Can anyone please shed any light on working conditions and pay at Air Tindi. Thanks in advance.

Depends are you looking for a ground job or direct entry captain ?

Either way it's one of the best company to work for at the moment.

The direct entry Captain position is what I've applied for actually. Thanks for the info.

Tindi is a decent place to work. Op's manager & CP's are top notch. First downside that comes to mind is the accommodation situation in Yellowknife.... It's hard to find a place, & expensive once you do.

Good Luck

Kingair captains are on 2 weeks on 2 weeks off rotation and afaik accomodation is provided for by air tindi during the 2 weeks on in Yellowknife.

Well sounds as if the King Air guys are on a good wicket. What about the Twin Otter and Dash pilots? Do they work on any sort of rotation as well? I guess it's obvious which AC I applied for!

And thanks very much for the info.

All the aircraft have rotation schedules for ACs, with accom provided in ZF. That said, be very wary as there is a new President who doesn't believe in paying a decent wage//expect to have to fight for the same salary that everyone else gets!
Other stuff going on, but will leave it at that.

There are Twin Otter, King Air and Dash 7 captains on rotations. Most rotations are 3 and 3, some are 2 and 2.
However, most of the crews(including King Air captains) are not on a rotation and live in Yellowknife. That being said times are changing and we are expanding so rotations are becoming more common.

Air Tindi is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, disability, sexual orientation or any other classification protected under the employment equity act.

Thank you for the information above.....Where do I sign?

even with errors, HR at Air Tindi still gets your resume. Just call and confirm it.

Since we seem to have a couple of Tindi's guys here, any interviewing going on if not all done already ??
If not, any update ??
Talking about expansion, a 4th dash 7 was acquired end of 2011, anything else in the cards ??
Tks!

I flew the Dash 7 for Air BC about a hundred years ago. I wonder if that would make a difference. I don't want to fly it again but if it helped get the job I suppose it would be OK.

Has Tindi hired any FOs to work rotationally, or has it just been captains so far?

Anyone? Any info on FO rotations?

If you are a f/o to capt quick upgrade, maybe... otherwise, I don't think so. There are plenty of pilots working ramp/dispatch, etc up there waiting for an f/o position.
