[quote="North Shore"]I kinda got/had the sense, from talking to ag guys, that it's a bit of a closed shop unless you're a farm kid, though..[/quote] I think growing up on a farm certainly helps when it comes to a lot of the ground duties etc.....But anyone who has a good attitude, hands and feet and...

Starting sched service with 737-200...............................

If you provide me with a bottle of jack Daniels and a sawed off shotgun I will let you know first hand what the interview is like...............

You loose an engine in a Pawnee just point your toes cause thats where you will end up

There's a reason why the Captain in question is still flying a Saab in Northern Saskatchewan! Its not often you buy an airplane from another company and the pilot comes with it.

23, Captain 1900D/BE10 Started flying 19 years old right seat navajo.

I have alot of respect for kids that put there time in for Buffalo Joe and get a shot at the greasy 3. Kinda drivers we like to hire down the road when they are ready to come south.

There are very few low time Beech 99's in Canada Let alone North America these days. The 2 nicest 99's in Canada are operating in northern Saskatchewan.

If those are the same pieces of junk that Cree Lake Lodge used to operate I would stay well away. They had there OC pulled a few years back for a reason.

I would agree with the DOC. Those requirements are well within industry standards if not below.

No arguments from me there.

What do you know about that type of machine? In regards to your comment DD I have enough hours to comment on the navajo seing as a started my career flying those machines. And If you are getting people with 3000TT and 1000 Multi good on you. Im just really surprised that someone with that kinda time...

Well said, I guess if you want to fly a navajo and its in a good location fill your socks. But I was just getting at how the requirements are pretty excessive for that type of machine

I was just browsing the PCC website and stumbled across a pro-flight add. What a joke 3000tt and 1000 multi to fly a navajo. I dont know anyone in there right mind who would be looking at a VFR navajo job with that kinda time. There are 22 year old guys and gals flying navajo's in northern alberta a...

Tell them to go and pound salt! A checkout in a buck 82 isn't worth a grand and if they need pilots they shouldn't be charging them to fly.

I was wondering if anyone who has done a multi or IFR there would care to share on the experience and the level of training they feel they recieved?

I thought their actual fleet was stuff people were using for parts.

Just wondering what it is like living in the Kivaliq region of Nunavut.
