It all makes sense to me now. All of the interactions Ive had with a majority of apprentices and licensed apprentices over the last several years that left me shaking my head, it makes sense... The sense of entitlement and laziness is on full display here as are the indicators as to where these chu...

This issue is simmering nicely

It’s ridiculous that this is even being debated. Non civy aircraft have been flying in Canada for revenue for decades.

Hi y'all. I'm currently living in the U.S. with my Canadian registered single engine airplane. I won't be able to travel to Canada this year for the annual inspection on time so I was wondering if there are any Canadian AMEs living in the U.S. who could perform an annual inspection on my plane in S...

This job does not 'pay like sh*t.' I've been in the industry 37 years. Getting paid exceptionally well by my current employer, and also by my the previous 3 employers going back over 10 years. I won't tell you my numbers because I signed an NDA. The companies I talk to regularly pay very well as we...

That’s not how that works. You only have to fill the tasks applicable to the fleet you work on. And yes 70% of the tasks need to be completed and likewise, each individual task only has to be 70% completed, not every line item.

No, you are wrong, AME’s can command very high wages in other similar industries with very little cross training.

If you folks are really interested in keeping it going, there is a company called VerticalScope, I believe based out of Toronto. They have been buying up lots of specialty forums over the last few years. A couple years back they bought up one I was a long time user of for one of my hobbies, there w...

Companies are on the ropes a bit from the lack of experienced personnel left due to the aforementioned, but I’m sure most will get by with 50 first year ames to one 20 year veteran until they run out of first years (that’s coming down the pipe, very low attendance at Colleges in the last few years)...

Depends on your point of view I suppose. Ends June 11. The vast majority have already voted. This is fifty years overdue. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if onex somehow brought in scabs, I’m seeing a ton of Westjet AME ads everywhere right now. Bunch of first year licenses and rushed type endorse...

Kaboom. It will be like nothing one has ever seen umm....in a good way or bad way? Any details? Vote ends on June 10 no? Depends on your point of view I suppose. Ends June 11. The vast majority have already voted. This is fifty years overdue. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if onex somehow brought...

From what I understand is covid really pushed back aviation and a lot of licensed AMEs retired.. now us students are having a very hard time finding apprenticeships that aren't 4000km+ away. It's a bit daunting really. MrFixit.... You aren't wrong. To be honest tho its been my experience that not m...

I think it’s shut down or having network issues. Can’t open the forums anymore.

So with Vertical closing in a little over a month, where is everyone planning to gather?? Is there anywhere else other than Rotorheads?? I would love to see CanAv thrive the way Vertical did without people being idiots... :smt014 I just tried viewing vertical forums several times and it comes up as...

If the same group moves here there will be pressure on this forum I’m sure as well.

lol… do it

MOAB wrote: ↑Sat May 04, 2024 12:37 pm There's a post in the Heli forum with the old stats.

An email to TC could verify what is current. They are very behind in their licensing process from what I was told via our company TC inspector.

TC is a mess after the pandemic, I doubt we will see any accurate stats for a few years.

Is the mythical pilot shortage real. I already got a pay raise, is it rude to ask for another a month later? There has never been a shortage EVER, there is a shortage of people willing to work for 🐕 💩 domestically however. Now these awesome operators are leaning even harder than ever on TFW’s for n...

Hey guys, I’m an AME M1/M2 in helicopters , just catching up on what is going on. Is this regarding the formation of a union at Westjet? I truly hope whatever contract you guys make is north of $70/hour for Aca. Rotary guys are charging out 80-100/hr plus flight pay in Canada (contract). I too have ...

Serisouly though. It looked liked they counted medicals that were done in office. Phone in medicals and attestations i don't think got counted.

The numbers have been rapidly declining since 2015, it’s not just that.

Anybody know anything about this company. Looking to work there doing anything. Any info much appreciated. As far as I know he sold all of his machines save one to a larger operator in Alberta. The only machine he has left registered is a B2 (C-GSTM, 2249). The amo is doing some third party stuff w...
