This sounds a bit like "let them eat cake". Not everyone will get an interview invite from a company with signing bonuses. As you said yourself, those are pretty uncommon even in today's environment. More might get an interview with a signing bonus if they stopped signing bonds. Other places like O...

I love it Transport Canada coming out with stupid regulations in the guise of "making aviation safer." Very similar to the water egress training that was mandated in the spring of 2023. It won't make float flying safer but it will certainly make some people in the industry richer $$$. Meanwhile Nort...

I currently am with North Star air and working on the ground. I can definitely say it’s great here with good work ethics and working conditions subject to you being able to survive the cold depending on which base you get. The ground to flight takes about a year subject to movement but no FOs being...

Commercial ops definitely prefer Straight floats. The OMNR does run the turbo beaver on wipline 6000 amphibs but it absolutely destroys the useful load. A piston beaver on a set of tight edo 4930’s is a sweet set-up.

Remember all the "hospitals are over flowing!" rhetoric as a reason you need to comply with all the nonsense policies and recommendations. Yet apparently hospitals are worse off today than any time including that little blip of hysterical history. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ontario-emer...

They do ramp/flight line these days?? Yeah, they still do. You start off on the ramp or as an FA on the Dash, then they'll put you on the twin otter or king air after a few months. Except once you're typed you'll still be working the ground part-time. Had a couple FOs I flew with that came from the...

You didn’t sign the contract so you are not legally bond by the conditions of said contract. Tell them to pound sand. Also who is the operator??

You’re all over the place, you have a “Crashed on takeoff” thread, a “runway excursion” thread, then you create this thread which is clearly a crashed on landing accident and title it runway excursion which is akin to the “hard landing” of the AC YHZ accident. It’s misleading and downplays what rea...

No, TC is too busy working from home.

Or hear me out, grow a set and tell your employer to shove their training bond right up their @$$!!!

Since you did not answer my question on the last thread I will ask here as well. When you lost power did you try applying carb heat?

Did you apply carb heat??

It's batshit crazy that companies still require training bonds with the current state of the industry.

The whole operation looks like a scam to me.

The company website has many fancy graphics but is very vague and gives very few details on the project. Looks like they are currently testing on a Challenger ultralight, so a 400 lbs payload lol. I would hope it is just the testing platform and they plan to add bigger aircraft in the future. The wh...

Anybody know the salary for Captain and First Officer??

You have returned to what you call a normal life because you have obeyed, and you live in this reality imposed on you by those who have taken advantage of this crisis to consolidate their power and increase their wealth. If everyone had had the courage to say no, and to give people the freedom to c...

[/quote] Touche. Well there you have it! Was that recently? I feel like a lot of people are staying at Jazz out of fear of being blacklisted. Just another psychological mind game managements play on us. I need to replace my hat anyway :lol: [/quote] I call bullshit on this so called "blacklist." Wit...

Thanks for posting the above information Dronepiper. This is a great thread and very informative for guys and gals pursuing flying jobs at 703 operators.

PS. If anyone has current salary/schedule info for Thunder Airlines could you please share or send me a private message.
Thanks.

I believe they were both sold and the pilots were offered jobs on the twin otters/turbo beavers??
