[HORUNNER]

Anyone know why they are looking for F/O's?
Has their been some movement or aircraft added?
Noticed they were hiring a month or so back aswell as one other time since the new year.

[LegoMan]

Probably can't keep anyone. Morale I heard from a friend flying there is at an all time low and no, beatings have not improved them.

Not to mention the management team can barely sign their names.... asset is now spelled with triple s.

Exxxcellent!

[50'minimums]

It was my impression that they won the Baffin Island medivac contract. If they plan or rotating pilots into YFB, that would require some hires.

[HighBypass]

I heard they got the YFB medivac contract too. Not sure who's hanger and facillity they are going to use.

[JohnnyDrama]

They did get the contract. Not sure how many guys they need but it sounds like there will be lots of expansion. Interviews are on Aug. 9th.

Anyone here have any advise for the interview/sim evaluation process? Or any current details on the company/working conditions/salary/benefits?????

Do they still have a jumpseat agreement with the airlines?

Feel free to PM me if you have any information.

[medEvac]

despite what was said above keewatin is an excellent company.

the requirement for f/os is due to a new contract and uprading of all qualified fos to captain positions.

the salary is industry standard or better with an excellent schedual.

as for the moral it may have been low in the past (outdated info) but it is strong now. many feel the excitment of upgrades and
new aircraft on the way. we should recieve our first new kingair today with more to come.

if you are looking for an excellent company with great advancement put your name in and be ready for an eval. the last f/o we hired three or four months ago from instructing is going capt in the next few weeks.

[medEvac]

oh i forgot, there is also an aircanada and jazz jump seat agreement!!

[200Above]

awesome company, lots of stuff going on in the months to come. 1900 sched is gravey, they make a 45 day sched. and u work something like 28 of those. That includes usually a 7 day stretch off, and a mixture of 2 or three days off after working a single or 2 day pairing. Must live in YWG tho.

medevac contract i hear starts around mid nov and they are building a hangar in yzf. dont worry, the fund has lots of money. 2 more 200's, and another lear, and possibly a pc-12?

2 on 2 off for medevacs, like the above poster has stated, they have ac/ jazz jumpseat agreements. Lots of guys commute.

it will be an interesting transition as the company has almost doubled.

good luck to the applicants.

Do you mean YFB, I think Tindi has the medivac contract in yzf locked up.

[200Above]

[Morav]

the salary is industry standard or better

Would you be able to disclose the salary on each type? THX

[JohnnyDrama]

From what I was told, the salary for FO is $25,500 for the king air with $40 per overnight and the 1900 is $30,600.

Great company to be at! The JS program is great (Jazz + Mainline)

[Krashman]

Salary and per diem for Capt on the 200?

New 200s? steam driven? collins? or pro line Cockpit?

[turbo-prop]

Collins is pro line.

[Krashman]

Collins is pro line.

the pro line is the full glass cockpit done by collins in the brand spanking new B200s...

some of the mid 90s B200s have 3 tube collins CRT... not full glass....

Ive just heard the avionics guys differentiating the systems by says collins or pro line but hey if you want to split hairs... I was just wondering what type of cockpit was in the 'new' Keewatin 200s

[flyinhigh]

Would you be able to disclose the salary on each type? THX

Capt on the 1900 is not industry standard, I talked to the chief awhile back when they were hiring a capt for this position. When I asked what the salary was and he said that it was 51K I nearly sharted.

If your coming through the ranks though, sounds awesome, benefits, lots of types, jets, and great experience and it all allows you to live in civilization.

[wyndham]

interviews going on now

[scopiton]

did someone receive a call for F/o Position ?

[JohnnyDrama]

I am pretty sure they finished the interviews this afternoon.

[rigpiggy]

and it all allows you to live in civilization.

right Winnipeg, Iqaluit, Churchill, or Rankin.

Jumpseat sucks if you actually have to be somewhere on a D2 priority

$40 per overnight.

better off just getting paid an extra 8k, and claim all the per diem yourself

How hours on average do you fly in a month on the King Air???

[termerair]

Jumpseat sucks if you actually have to be somewhere on a D2 priority

Well that's your point of view... But it's better than before when we had nothing! The agreement has been in place for the last 2 years and over those 2 years I have been bumped 3-4 times max. I do the commute every 2 weeks. If you plan correctly (ie you give yourself a safety net) then it's great. I also flew to Europe for free a couple of times... Hard to beat!

How many hours on average do you fly in a month on the King Air???

YRT crews average around 50-60 hrs over 2 weeks (have seen as much as 80 hrs)... YYQ is a bit slower, usually 40-50 hrs over 2 weeks.
