Heli Ian is one the old aerosexuals who still can't think outside the "for the passion" aviation mindset that's infected maintenance in Canada for so long. He see's aviation as the only path if you went to school for it.
To the OP - find something, almost anything that keeps you from having to earn your income working on airplanes. Been doing it for 22 years and I am finally pulling the pin. The Covid BS was a blessing in disguise and a needed kick to the ass.
Aviation, particularly maintenance, blows. I would not ever do it again nor would I recommend it to anyone.
It’s bad, I have another career outside this garbage which pays my primary income, but I still keep my rate high. Helicopters are as bad or worse than fixed wing in Canada right now. Heliian has a long record for being aero/helisexual not just on here but vertical as well (if that’s the same person). An attitude like that is the kind spawned from someone with no kids and probably a spouse that makes the bread. ZERO time for people like that
LOL, aren't you a fucking moron.
My career has been great in helicopters and i've been paid very well for it. Sorry to rain on your party, it's not my fault that you guys are stuck in a rut. I'm just a lowly employee with a wife and kid to support.
As always, if you don't like the job then get out.
The whole industry is in a rut! If you’ve been doing this as long as you claim, you’ve surely witnessed that. Just look around you, aircraft and companies are leaving Canada. A few little ma and pa operators have sprung up here and there in the large companies ashes but that’s it.
It’s not what it was post 2008 and that’s a fact. The rates are in the gutter, I’m also m1/M2 multi-endorsed. I’ve been paid top dollar (much more than what others were making in some cases more than twice as much) for my work too I wouldn’t call it “very well” by any means, because guess what, I HAVE WORK AND EDUCATION OUTSIDE AVIATION, AND I KNOW. I know the facts and so should you.
The lack of work isn’t necessarily the operators fault, the world has changed but how they’ve adapted and created such a stagnant remuneration (to fix and fly) is disgusting.
Constantly slashing each-others rates and ever continuing less and less support, chowda sees it like most do with his experience from what he’s posted.
Not one heli AME on here can honestly say they haven’t been pressured by management to play in the grey area as he said, it happens more and more these days, and he’s right, if you don’t bend over you get marked the a-hole.
Heliian people like you should leave the industry it would be a much better place.
Constantly Defending current garbage wages and current conditions the way you do, and you’ve been around a very long time (longer than chowda and myself). I doubt very much you’re “just an employee” you’re probably in management and / or a partner somewhere.
