for the ramp job, What wage is being offered for the job?

[Edmonton boy]

north star airline, I've heard 2 weeks on /2 weeks off.
then approximately, how much can I get per month during ramp crew?
I can get at least 3000$ per month? or less than 2500$?
and any idea living expense in detail?
how much rent fee is that in CYPL, CYXL? around 500~1000$ per month?

Peob min wage or close. If you're in YPL or up there I've heard it's difficult to find a place to rent. It can be expensive...

I believe 16/h when you're ramping. When you ramp you do not get the 2 on 2 off, you get that once you're moved to the flight line. Likely going to need to live with your coworkers as rental prices are high in YPL. Wait times are probably insane, over a year before covid happened I was hearing 6-9 months on the ramp with them.

then before get the right seat, does they work full time least 40h per week? like 5 days work and 2 days off?

Two apartment buildings on Koval St, one of them is run by an elderly couple - Bryan (forget his last name) & his wife. They’re one of the originals of Pickle. Lived in his building for 4 months and it was a very good experience. Clean apartments, fully furnished… I paid $600/month from June-Sep 2018. Not sure if prices have increased now. I don’t have his cellphone anymore or I would’ve passed it to you but ask around and see if anyone knows him. DM if you need more information about the place.

I just saw a post for “Pilot in Waiting”
I was not too sure what that was so I looked it up. I assume that it is something like “Lady in Waiting” since the description of both seems to be the same.

LOL...

Clearly pilots are noble and need to be waited on.

Seriously though, nothing wrong with doing the ramp to get 'er done to get a spot on the line when you're starting out.

Good luck on the move.
