Every bond I've seen releases the pilot in the event of a layoff. You haven't seen wasaya's bond then. Temporary layoff and you find employment elsewhere you pay out the bond. IMHO wether you are temporarily laid off or full time layoff if a company can't suck it up and pay you for 3 months to keep...

The industry as a whole is going to suffer for years to come by people accepting a wage this rediculous. For a group of people (im talking about all pilots) that are supposed to be able to think ahead of the aircraft and and never get behind it while in control we sure have let the industry slip bey...

Apparently they seem to go through A LOT of pilots. I haven't heard that, I have heard it's not that bad an outfit. But I don't know anyone working there right now so I can't say for sure if it's good or bad. Was hoping someone on this forum with first hand info could clear that up or shed some lig...

I'd be interested to know this info as well if anyone has any input? I've heard lots of secondhand hearsay, but some actual info from those informed would be greatly appreciated.

The bond is actualy not that bad, but I know I could get more money once I get the training...they talk about rising thw wages but i dont really thrust them. As for not signing the bond, there's way too many people with absolutly no spinal cord around here to make it work... anyone with the answer ...

Not at all what I said or was suggesting Hedley. Would it not make sense to upgrade someone from within and place them with an experienced PIC? If not possible then I would say look elsewhere.

The big thing is that they are only needed for the busy winter season and it works out well for all involved. WTF? That fails to work for any pilot in Canada. If they can't find "qualified" personel, I would say they are hardly looking. I'm sure there are more than enough pilot's with the required ...

"so if a status Indian is not good enough to live with you elite Canadians then maybe I should leave.[/quote]" You have that right, as well as the right to change things if you don't like it, you also have the right to just beat it and leave to one of the many more glorious countries you've called h...

I'm currently in NWO for the float season and possibly staying for the winter and would like to get my multi this summer during a lull in the float flying and get the ifr later in the fall. I'll most likely be in winnepeg to do it and am just trying to decide between Harv's or perimeter. I see a lot...

Anyone know if the ice has broken up in Red lake area of the world? Heading there again soon but not until the thaw.

Don't know about gets off well with a load.....compared to the seasoned bush planes. I've seen them scream down the lake before getting airborn. However, never flown one myself. Talk to the guys who've flown them though, they do have good things to say about them. I just don't buy into the load rati...

Howey Bay, in YRL. Always cold beer, as long as you're not a douche!

Because pilots are lazy and here in yrl the mf is 22.3, it's much easier to only dial up another .5, rather than 4.4!

"As far as the pilot goes, you couldn't find a nicer guy, or a more fun guy to be around. He'll be greatly missed"

That's the absolute truth, a great friend.

If you can buy a ppc, you can obviously feed yourself and your family, so don't think you're getting any sympathy here my friend. Either suck it up, or get out. It might sound harsh, but i'm not going to blow sunshine up your ass. Unfortunately, if you don't have the goods to tell the operator of an...

Jeezus, you boys on here saying the union should roll over and fold again need to open your freaking eyes. Milty isn't taking a pay cut, they don't mind giving a couple million away to some gawd awful singer for a "new look ad campaign, and if they have the bucks to purchase these planes they sure a...

1600 lbs, with around 2.5 - 3 hours fuel. Never an otter load.

That is hilarious

When are the forces going to drop the 20/20 uncorrected stuff?

Let me get this straight: Jumperdumper is complaining about not being able to make a living in this industry do to low wages and hiring but by the bare mention of his handle alone it would seem that he has contributed to the subpar wages some now accept. I say this because i've yet to see a jump sch...

Northern Skies Wrote Another offers a room, $30/day, 50 hours on floats, and I will probably have to promise to buy more time above that (that part doesn't excite me at all, even though the plane is a real hot-rod). If this is the sleaze in red lake i think you are talking about, run and run fast. Y...
