They had to station a King Air 350 in YWG to move Metro Parts back and forth from Perimeter to keep their Cargo Metros in YYC and YVR operating.

I heard it's a charter plane for the Jets. The 3rd and 4th lines will be taking the bus.

Boeingboy may be right, but I like Petey's explanation better.

You get hired, what's the bond/contract.

I would look at something like this if I where home every night, with the option to leave if they pull the a/c outta Winnipeg.

Pay will be about 60K ish to start for Capt. plus a 24k bond over 2 years. Atleast with this one you won't be in yyc, and should be able to stay away from some of the company BS. A lot of people have left the company in the last 8 months, including the CP and Assistant CP now. Food for thought.

I also know some who have left recently, for the same reasons, I had my own issues with them. It is only June and they have had 70+ job postings, but whatever, enjoy!

I see they are hiring for the 350 again. They had posted an ad only a few months back. What happened with the first crew they hired? Or is it busy enough for 2 crews
