EFC truck driver ad

[halfmilevis]

Not just for those enrolled in the Top Gun acadamy

I find that ad somewhat entertaining.

So are they advertising here because they:

A) Figure that pilots will realise they can make more money driving trucks or:

B) Figure pilots will give up on aviation and start driving trucks?

Guess they're pretty much the same thing.....

I know more than one person who's aviation career died on an EFC ramp cause they pay quite well for a job that requires no skills.

I see it's in Revelstoke. My Dad was right I should have stayed in school.

I noticed they ask for +3 years of off-highway experience. My guess is delivering JetA to heli-logging and forestry fuel cache sites. Driving a truck loaded with fuel in that neck of the woods, to those places, not for the faint of heart.

I also know more than a few seasonal pilots who take a turn behind the wheel during the winter months, so you could argue that there is a legitimate place for the ad here. That being said, they are an aviation business and as such, know darn well there are semi-intelligent people here who are woefully underemployed.

Off road fuel haulers make good coin in BC, AB. Anyone work for these people recently? They have been posting quite a few ads on various job sites lately for rampies all over Alberta (including Fort McMurray). Decent company to work for?
