some cdn owners purchased back when the $ cdn to us was a buk 1.60 they now have airplanes that are now competely upside down relative to current market value . very hard pill to swallow. adding insult to financial injury is the revolution in avionics now requires another 30-50 k to be competive vs...

should be lots of candidates with the low requirements they are asking, or is there more to the saga

Was also looking down south for a plane for the simple fact there are only so many airplanes of the type I am looking for and the price is an issue. I also feel things are a little overpriced here.

Does an airplane with a missing log make it impossible to import?
any input is appreciated

I see in a recent job posting for Sky North in winnipeg they posted the salary, which for a king air gig is not too bad. I don't know anything about SkyNorth, but at least they are up front with the salary

I went through the interview several months back and the PC12 capt position was quoted to me at $45,900 with a $12K bond of 2 yrs, I also decided to pass but maybe you had time on type Nope no time on type (PC12), but I think they were having trouble attracting people over the Beech products. Too m...

Went through the interview process a couple weeks ago, Skipper starting wages: BE20: 45,900 PC12: 60,000 BE02: ??? Perdiems are given on "on" days, I forget the exact amount but 40 a day rings a bell. The bond is not cash up front, but a training agreement. technically a 13 and 13 rotation for the ...

I am also curious

Seems like a bucket list type job for a short duration. By the way Doc the girls are getting better looking and shinier in those pictures!

Just watched this week's soap.. A few comments/questions, generally in chronological order.. Hard not to feel happy for Larry when Mikey gives him the news of his upgrade - genuine enthusiasm and emotion there. So if the -46 is such a bear, why land it downwind as Gord did at ?Norman Wells? Mainten...

Doc, upon closer inspection of the photo of the girl in front of the surfboard, I realized there are motorcycles in the picture. Just curious what brand of bikes are they?

Always liked the Arrow

I also know some who have left recently, for the same reasons, I had my own issues with them. It is only June and they have had 70+ job postings, but whatever, enjoy!

Interestingly enough, if you were an Ag pilot, and were going to be flying turbines, you would be required to go to Florida to take a course for about $3K. Otherwise, you would not be insurable. This is regardless of experience. My 10000+ hrs means nothing. I'd still have to fly a simulator and lea...

Got you beat by say 4000hrs but hey I guess your the expert

I say, you have Better Directional Control 3 Point [/quote]

No one with signifigant tailwheel experience would say this

I get the same answer as you, I suspect the book may have an error. C****ne or Aerocourse?

Apparently we cannot post the name cuulhane

And the name of the show will be changed to" As the Prop Turns"

The only thing you are wrong about is the Ag Tractor, it is an Air Tractor. I think the other part is correct, looks like I will have to look that one up.

Just curious what you paid for a sim to get a fresh IFR?

You could probably find a flight school alot closer than that type of sim...

Don't know what requirements the sim has to meet.
Have not done it yet.
The sim is not far

Must be a mistake or someone is being very cheap

what is it, 24 months plus a day or something from date of initial expiry? If your looking for a renewal and (and your current work can't/wont do it) I'd highly recommend looking at doing it in a sim, cheaper then renting a twin.... Decided to do mine early, to avoid possible rare delays at TC :smt...

In past episodes they have talked about the C-46 being hard to fly, can anyone comment on this. Cat mentioned the DC-3 was relatively easy to fly, just curious about the 46 or is this just dramatic TV. At least we will be talking about the show and not farming( by the way it is not a shot at farming...

I agree, take the job, I would if I were back in those shoes.
