Arctic King Air captain, 1200 TT, 100 MPIC

Post by digits_ »

Pilot shortage anyone?

viewtopic.php?t=162407
Minimum Qualifications:

• 1200TT
• 100 Multi PIC
• Current MIFR


Additional Considerations:

• ATPL preferred
• Actual IFR time/experience preferred
• Turbine experience preferred
• Current BE20 PPC is preferred
• Garmin G1000, 530, and 430 experience is an asset
• Northern operational and gravel experience is an asset
• Mountain flying experience is an asset
• Eligible candidates must be Canadian citizens possessing a valid driver's license
• Able to obtain Transport Canada Restricted Area Identification Card
• Valid passport and ability to travel out of country
You don't even need IFR time.

What's going on? Times sure change quickly!

Have fun going into YXP on a dark winters night.

They hired a flight instructor with no other experience to this position..asking for trouble. Teaching IFR is completely different than flying in the real world.

Shit, that's like 1/6 the required use of a Parker Pen from 10 years ago.

Joking aside, I'd probably take my chance with what ever life threatening injury/illness I have than risk a flight on that king air.

I have over 10,000 hours and I still get a chill thinking about that place on a nasty night. People are nice though, but 1200 and 100 MPIC? Yikes.

Coming from the guys taking -200s in and out of ~1700ft Grise Fiord. Steep learning curve for the young buck.

I was going to comment that in theory a instructor who’s never done anything else COULD be hired and then spit my coffee out after scrolling down! I fear for all the souls on board…

Apparently those are scary minimum requirements for those experienced and in the know, but, for the guys with less than 750 hours, the "pilot shortage" is but a dream. It's slim pickens for the greenhorns.

At least it's the light season. Things go up a level by winter solstice.

I don't think a pilot with these hours is necessarily unsafe, but I was very surprised to see these low hours advertised.

I think a lot of the 'fear' comes from people's own personal historical experience. Thoughts like 'when I did this, I almost did xxx and I fixed it by yyy and I had zzzz hours!'

But that's more related to doing a particular job for the first time vs the total hours in your logbook.

At 1200 hours you don't even know what you don't know yet. There's no getting around it, you don't know shit at 1200 hours, and have NO business flying PIC in that environment with that experience level unless every hour you spent since getting your license was flying that plane, on those routes with someone who basically bestowed upon you 1000 hours of line indoc and this ad was written for you.

Problem solved until shit goes sideways and something
non-standard or unplanned or unthought of pops up.

Someone with those qualifications will cost penny’s on the dollar. They don’t care about anything but the bottom line
