Re: Twin otter on the ice

From my experience, I think we would be better served by contracting this service out to the northern operators that have the experience to do the job.

Lowest Rental Rates in BC or AB

Looking to rent a 150 or 172 to build some time, and was wondering where the most reasonable rates were in western Canada?

Re: What is a pilot really worth?

I drove a concrete mixer truck for years to get through flight school, and still do for extra cash. Working full time I was grossing between 65 and 70k/year, most of it in the 8 months of the busy season. I worked the occasional Saturday, and had every Sunday off and slept in my own bed. It's a job ...

Re: AVEOS closes the doors

Yeah, where's everyone's unions now? People need to learn to stand up and pull their heads out of the sand. There's always signs when companies start falling apart. Quit thinking unions are doing the best for you, because they are not. Start talking to the people that actually write your paycheck.

Re: What is a pilot really worth?

Find something you enjoy that there's a market for and stick with it. Everyone flocks to the airlines, but quite frankly I think in 10 or 20 years airlines will be a dead end. Find something to have fun at that a computer can't do.

Re: AC is such a mess

Quite frankly most unions are just as bad as the execs in my experience. Bad companies are supposed to die, and when they don't, it just gets worse. It's time to cut loose the dead weight.

Re: Taxi Cab drivers UNIONIZE! Pilots?? Take notice.

Sounds more like the union trying to recruit members to replace all the people retiring. Gotta pay for all those steak dinners somehow. It's scary how easy it is for disgruntled workers to get a union in power in this country.

Re: National Post Article on Fixed-Wing SAR

Updated and re-engined, would there be a market outside Canada? If so, I think it would be a great idea. The government has probably pissed away enough money to buy one on all their "studies" since 2004.

Re: AC is such a mess

It's not just 99% of this board, more like it's the Canadian way. Piss and moan sitting on your hands, waiting for the government or union to save you.
