In their job posting, they state that they do three week rotations to Canadian "cities". Just wondering which city/cities?

Thanks!

I would expect Canadian Cities means just that.

Probably anywhere you can make flight connections to CYCB in 2 days.

Can't be easy convincing experienced drivers to spend half their life in Cam Bay.

This could be a pretty good job though. Adlair has a decent rep as a company and CG would be a pleasure to have as a CP.

I thought the ad was making the assumption that they would pay for the airline flights to and fro

Not a bad deal if that is the case. Anyone know what sort of time they want other than an ATPL?

These days, how 'bout a pulse. Vision would be a plus too...

I would say the more PIC, KA, PT6, gravel, and Arctic time the better. Contact them: you have the time you have and they need a driver, if it's a match, pack your parka.

So when they say 3 week rotations, does that mean 3 weeks in and 3 weeks out?

yup 3 in 3 out, unless they are short of crew you will be asked to stay longer. they pay for all your flights, housing, and food well at work. its a good job and the money is pretty damn good for medevac and working half the year. also with CG taking over as CP things should only be getting better. you won't find a better bunch of guys to work with.

It all sounds very good. I'm sure there's a lot of "on call" down time, but what sort of flying hours annually would a pilot in this job aquire in an average year.

Buried in the permafrost, remeber you don't have to out run the bear just your co-pilot.

I'd say you get about 800-900 hours a year. FO's don't rotate. Pretty much on call 24-7.
