Re: Owner Maintenance - Hot or Not?!

I would never buy an O-M airplane. Who know's what level of skill it has been maintained to. I think all the O-M planes out there are far overpriced, in fact I've seen some for sale since I bought mine 18 months ago. Now if i had some kind of vintage plane that I never planned on selling or flying ...

Re: Gold Rush Tony looking for pilot

I agree with Redneck. I had 1000 hrs on unimproved strips when I took this job back in 2012 and no 206 time. Some of the most challenging flying I've ever done. But a lot of fun though.

Re: Gold Rush Tony looking for pilot

It's $20-25 an hour. 11 hour days. Time and a half after 8 hours. Probably 30-40 hours flying a month. The rest of the time your driving a rock truck or excavator for the mine.

The XP only calls for it on PK 2300. Smaller tail turns easier out of the wind.

Stop by Cochrane airport. Skywrench aviation does the maintenance for both Moosonee outfits. You might catch someone there. Good luck.

Re: Low-timer Road Trip

I would definitely take a ride on the Polar Bear Express to Moosonee. I did a season with the single pic guys. Got about 700 hrs. Good pay and free housing. As far as the multi outfit there, never heard many good things except no bond. The new CP is a great guy though.
