And then the schools put out more graduates looking for work/// If you don't get a job in 18 mo. chances are a recent graduate will have a better chance.

you could buy and build a small homebuilt (google is your friend) to get you feet wet so to speak then look for or design one to suit your purposes. join the local homebuilders club and get started.

Few years back we heard a Captian left to go drive truck in the sands. This was not a young man but one who had paid his dues and finally made it to a good corporate position. Makes you wonder.

Any word as to who is going to fly this machine, kudos to the team who got it this far, Cat any offers?

No ,I;m semi retired but as EASA are hard to come by I'm always interested,If what you say is true, go fly a ST 27

I'm an EASA licensed-6 guy, and you?

hire experienced guys and pay them, jeez what do you want to know.

We all know they use -6 and have CDN pilots and fly to nice places and went through a lot of time to set this ops up, no questions there. I'm just stating that they did not get the maintenance side right. From the picture of the rudder cable it looks like steel. Why would you fit that in a warm salt...

So this is and I quote" Quite the operation and well thought out" as posted previously has had its ops cert CX and has to bring in expensive outside help to bring it back in to operation, How well thought out was it to not hire experienced maintenance. Salt water ops in a warm environment, you had b...

Looks like they brought Zimex maintenance guys in to get the machines serviceable. They don't come cheap.

I believe the IDG (integrated drive generators) will give a overheat warning if low on oil.

Thinking back on how we used these products before WHIMIS info makes me shudder, but for me the best reason for being an AME is the smell of Jet Fuel exhaust on a cold winters day. for some reason its intoxicating

ok

Apprentice helper?, Wow.!! Same here as last poster first time I've heard the term in Canada.
I'm going to guess you're in Kelowna but I could be wrong. Lots of commercial av but low wages due sunshine tax. Contracting isn't for everyone but they pay $45 for shot term.

Flight was from India with domestic workers, perhaps for many this was their first flight in their lives the bags held their Id and other valuables. Having no idea of flight regulations and not listening to pre take off briefing as most were to busy doing something else its small wonder most tried t...

Did you try the local avionics shop or even Future shop for a solder repair?

There are lots of very rich pilots (John Travolta) who will pay the fee out of daily pocket money and be glad to.

Hows the maintenance at that new start up. EASA -6 guys are sometimes hard to find. I heard the technical manager has no -6 experience and had hired his ex service buds with no English read or write or -6 time. So if you go technical be prepared to wait a LONG time for repairs. #3d hand info do plea...

Combat A/C don't get washed like your KIA . Jeeeeezzzzz

YXY Whitehorse (one word) was or is the Airport Chalet. A lot of "There I was at 10,000 ft." told there.

This was posted by the HR dept of a rather large company. Is this any indication of the type of HR department his company has?

This may be the first time I've saw the word apprentice used for the hiring of a junior pilot. Not appropriate in my mind as its not an apprenticeship.

Why wasn't the emergency brake bottle used, Don't tell me the crew of 2 was flying and both didn't remember there is emergency brakes. WTF. Let me get this straight, the crew did a start and taxi off the ramp, down a taxi way and on to the runway and didn't notice they had no brakes? If they landed ...

Does the band not stock a supply of basic material for repair of their houses. No need for the buildings to be in such a state of disrepair,
