Potash Corp flight department shutdown ???

Post by flaps78 »

I heard a rumour that PCS (Saskatoon) has shut down their flight department, released the pilots and put the Falcon up for sale?

True or false?

I heard the same thing. I had been trying to get on with those guys for years. So glad I didn’t.

When companies merge, someone is going to become redundant to the company requirements. The G550 is Agrium's who now owns Potash.

At least one of the pilots was to fly the g550. The whole thing started I want to say in the late spring early summer but I'm not 100%, so it's pretty old news to the people involved.

It’s now called Nutrien, after the merger with Agrium. G550 in Calgary, Falcon 900DX in CYXE was for sale last October, I’m sure it’s sold by now... not replacing it.

Lol. I did the photoshoot for the company (from Texas) to put it on the market.
They paid me good $$ for the photos, must be for a 'fake sale' I guess, lol

I hope that the crews were well treated. By my calculations;
From PCS;
CS had 22 years of employment
RI had 21 years " "

From Agrium
RG had 21 years " "

Not enough for a good pension.

Who was kept on?

FYI - Agrium did not buy / take over PCS. It was a mutually agreed amalgamation with PCS being the largest partner
