What do they charge you per hour on the 180?
Pay = $0 because it's a co-op.
180 Time...that I'm unsure what the "rental" rate was...I'll look into it.

Ultimate goal would be seating left seat in the Twin Otter. After the Twin Otter if I were to get out of the bush it wouldn't be more than corporate flying. Big Airlines isn't really for me...too much auto pilot and not enough Pilot I've got the float rating, and I do want to go bush. The only justi...

Beating a Dead Horse via: Floats (Advice)

Quick background of my original plan: Instruct to build time to get the golden 1000PIC (Keep in mind I would love to instruct…so don’t flame about how I would’ve been a piss poor instructor because I’m there to benefit myself) --> Go Bush to be a float driver and jump into something bigger than a 1...

your stupidy for not taking home what you "purchased". Again as far as I'm concerned....it's your money....use it.

This is such an inappropriate use of public funds! There are too many pilots as it is. EI should be paying for people to go into the construction trades not into an industry that has a chronic oversupply of labour which is forcing wages and job satisfaction through the floor. Canada needs trades pe...

Statistics State that...there are more deaths by donkey kicks than pilots. What's your take? What other stupid fiction/nonfiction stats have you heard? A skydiving fatality is 1 out of 116,666 skydives. The odds of a fatality due to a motor vehicle are 1 out of 6,212. This shows that skydiving is 1,...
