Re: Tumbler Ridge

I don't know, but I would guess they landed at Fort St. John (6900 ft, 2 hours away) and took a bus from there. If that isn't long enough, the next closest airport with a (really) long runway is Prince George - 4.5 hours away. They had Griphons go through YMM westbound I imagine he flew in from YDQ

Re: AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!

A good opportunity to build some hours and get ahead. Yes, for a new pilot. A pilot with 1000 TT and 100 on a turbine already has a turbine job making more than $3k + "performance bonus". Most importantly, it's likely permanent and year round. This ad has predatory written all over it. we pay 3500+...

Re: When Albert separate, will it keep Canadian licensing or go the FAA route?

So to get back to the original question, that of licensing. For aircrew, both Canada and the US have process in place to validate an aircrew license for a foreigner, those processes wouldn't go away. Alberta will likely have to put in place it's own systems eventually. But then the stickler, with A...
