Looking for 15 people to fill the pool...doesn't necessarily mean 15 jobs right away... The industry's moving a little better...nobody wants to get caught with their pants down.

Buddy of mine just got hired, but he had his interview a few months ago. JG and BT and everyone else at NAC are great guys. They treat their people better then their comptition.

Cheers

Really? I heard blimps. That way they can just hover over their hangar and wasaya can't say shit.

ps. Do you guys think the name NAC 2000 is going to be lame in, say the year 3047?

Billy Bob1 · Post by **Billy Bob1** » Sun Jul 17, 2005 5:31 pm

Truth be told, They are getting HS-748's from Calm Air. They have a chief pilot with an endorsment and a good deal on C-FMAK. Look out Wasaya.

Where do they plan on fixing these aircraft, whatever they may be. They have no hanger, nor does there seem to be one being built.

Doc · Post by **Doc** » Sun Jul 17, 2005 7:11 pm

748's? A little heavy on the $$$$ to keep in the air. It's a dying aircraft. Great fun to fly, but I fear a Hawker could well be the kiss of death. BTW, I know the Hawker CP, he's a good guy with a sence of humour. And nobody would like to see NAC kick Wasaya's ass more than him! And me, of course!! But to really kick butt will require theft of the fuel contracts, and that will take some fancy footwork.

Billy Bob1 · Post by **Billy Bob1** » Sun Jul 17, 2005 10:25 pm

Doc you gotta be kidding me. The 748 is state of the art up north. It's the only thing that can replace a DC-3. When MTO extends the runways we will see other compentent aircraft arrive.(says Carswell)

BillyBob...a Basler turbine Racer would have a Hawker for lunch!!

For Guys who I assume have worked for wasaya before, where are NAC going to get there fuel in pickle from wasaya. I think that the most you will see between these two company's will be a merger. I think there is a better chance that NSC will compete east with something larger against Bearskin before they focus on that part of the north. That and the fact that if they have a descent ticket price and some customer service skills it won't take much to put a fork in Bearskin.

Isn't there still a Esso in YPL for fuel? Maybe you're thinking about wasaya petroleum's bulk tanks for the ontario hydro/private fuel contracts?

It is silly to comapre bearskin now to the native owned airlines in nw ont.

it is not a level runway. re tax advantages that all native owned companies have over the privately owned and funded companies.
also the constant bailout packages threw back door channels federal gov't departments hrdc/ heritage canada/ indian and northern affairs etc.
which a the non native companies are given the flat drop dead. response (aircanada excluded).

lets see 7 percent gst 10percent excise tax on fuel and no income tax if the head office is located on a reserve how can any one compete unless natives against natives.

there will be more consolidation in the next 3 -5 yrs due to economy of scale and to protect the traditional market area against encroachment of other large native companies from neighbouring provinces. The permiter
keywaywin merger etc.

better get used to it and have a good back up plan. OH HAZARD AWESOME AVATAR!! IF YOU ARE HANGIN with her you are a lot smater than the average bear bo boo

North Star Air is also the new Shell Avitat in Pickle, so getting fuel is not an issue.

So the carter rice esso is gone from YPL now, or both shell and esso are at the field now?

Cap'n P8 · Post by **Cap'n P8** » Thu Jul 21, 2005 3:42 pm

Carter Rice/Morgan is still there on the field. We North Star just started up an FBO at our ramp Jet A and 100LL. We also have a truck for Jet A.

...Go Shell!!!
