Re: wage roll backs

E.I. tops out at about $780 take home every two weeks. It takes into account of how many hours and how much you made in the past few months. You don't have to make much to max out, how ever long you worked before will determine how long you can collect E.I. bennifits, max I think is about 50weeks.

Re: first year float wages (bush)

I said back it with facts. The beaver accident at pickrel arm wasn't a 500tt, the quy was 50years old with lots of time. Kenora air's beaver was on a lease to "Tundra Tom" not a 500tt pilot either(500tt would have been safer it that one for sure.) It happened in northern sask too. Try again! BY the ...
