It's exactly that. Record upcoming inspections. Create a maintenance schedule for inspections and components coming due. Compliance with Service Bulletins and Airworthiness Directives.

Where are all these 100k/140k a year jobs for m1 engineers? There is exactly 1 posted in the job ads section here and it's Inlands. That's a STARTING WAGE of roughly $52/hr if you're in the majors, thats pretty much where you will top out! I don't know of another small operator offering more right ...

[Everyone is entitled to the same level of care in this country, geographically that means aircraft are a necessity. What you mean, is what has become a very popular rallying call for socialism “everyone is entitled to the same outcome in life, regardless of ones choices” Look at the Soviet Union t...

Check with these guys.

Government pays for it. The similarity would be if you went to the hospital in a small town and they admitted you then realized they can’t treat you due to a lack of services then you would be transferred to the big city hospital by ambulance and you don’t pay for that ride as it’s covered by the g...

This has to be a major bone of contention for all the operators who have tried this in the past

It is. Still being contested by some operators.

@#$! NO!!

If I wanted to be an American, I would apply to move there. But I'm not, and never will.

This job does not 'pay like sh*t.' I've been in the industry 37 years. Getting paid exceptionally well by my current employer, and also by my the previous 3 employers going back over 10 years. I won't tell you my numbers because I signed an NDA. The companies I talk to regularly pay very well as wel...

What year is this?

These ads just show you that the HR departments, or whoever is doing the hiring, knows absolutely nothing about maintenance requirements.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, this is what's being offered in the US:

I had a flight from Saskatoon to Edmonton last night. It was delayed an hour leaving, no explanation given. Problem is, I had connecting flights from Edmonton as did a few other passengers around me. The FA asked if passengers could remain seated at landing so we could try and make our connections. ...

Sad thing is, I'm making those numbers as a full time employee with all the benefits. Contractors should be making a lot more to cover employer taxes and deductions on top of employee deductions.

I’m guessing that’s leading edge?

Correct!

It is important to take care of the least fortunate in society. This is why in Canada we have made sure that minimum wage meets or exceeds inflation. Helicopter pilots are fairly compensated and no where near minimum wage. The focus should be bringing the bottom up. We don't work in a minimum wage ...

They shut their doors over a year ago

Last year's 437000 was the highest number of immigrants ever. Your numbers are off by 50%

I make much more working 1/10th of what that job would entail. It's depressing when that is called 'high...

Sunshine Coast is great. Spent quite a bit of time there, working and playing. Can you please recommend some places or things to do? I want to explore that area.

Sunshine Coast is great. Spent quite a bit of time there, working and playing. Probably do that again this spring, maybe summer.
Okanagan is a great place, but I haven't been there in almost 20 years now.

I see there's a company urgently looking for an AME in the territories.
They're offering $50/day per diem, which if I recall when I did tours there 15 years ago, might just cover dinner if you skip breakfast and lunch.
That is not a current rate for per diem even in the south.

If companies want a proper and effective tool control, they should provide the tools and tool boxes. Not offer to shadow my personal box.

Recycling stories such as this is designed to manufacture outrage, especially when there's no context provided. Is this a regular occurrence, or a one time expense. What is the average cost of catering for a government flight, over a 10 year average. What does it cost other governments for the same ...

As much as I agree that being an AME is a pretty all around crappy job the people you speak of doing things at a later stage in life have put themselves there. Regardless of circumstances nobody forced them into it, nobody forced them to put their thing in another thing and breed, nobody forced the...
