Re: Why this job pay like sh*t?

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 n...

Re: Why this job pay like sh*t?

It might get you out of ON and to the West coast, that in itself would be "to what end" I'm genuinely curious: are there companies on the West Coast that would turn down an M1 licensed AME if they applied and made somewhat of an acceptable first impression? Based on stories from (ex)colleagues, I'm...

Re: Why this job pay like sh*t?

I started my career in Northern Saskatchewan

NOBODY was making 100k a year working m1. Shit, as a fourth year apprentice I was being paid 26.50 an hour.

Re: Future AME Discouraged

That job offer looks well, but how stable is it? I'm no M1 nor I know anything about it, but when I googled "inland air", I see planes on floats. Looks to me like one of those bush flight career that I hear of. In general, this profession is so demanding yet it pays like a piece of sh*t. The indust...

It will be tough.

Open pilot warranties are basically a thing of the past and the experience requirements get in the way.

Shall we get a pool going as to what the salary actually is? If everything in the ad is true, it should be around 180k/year. However I think it will be more like 120k. lol, there aren't any beaver pilots earning 180k unless their duties include executive responsibilities. 120k for 500 hours on a be...

Re: Building and selling of kit aircraft

You are sort of correct goingnowherefast. The completed aircraft is about the value of the parts so there is no profit margin in building the aircraft to sell it on the market.
