Obviously this is Obama's fault.

Hope the crew involved all find something else soon.

Have things slowed down that much in the Herc business?

[rigpiggy]

Not a.differences course. whole new rating. how many crews would resign and move to yyz,yvr, yyc. not many I'll bet

Have things slowed down that much in the Herc business?

Surprising considering the resource market hasn't slowed any up there. Here's hoping its a temporary lay-off. I'm assuming the crews will bump down/over to other positions.

Did Nolinor ever end up getting the Hercules they were trying for?

[Beach 200]

Cargojet is looking for 727 guys. There requirements ask for 1000 jet hours instead of 500 on type.

Wasn't Canadian North looking for Dash 8 drivers a little while back.

[YYCcrew]

Canadian North is looking for Dash pilots, Captain and FO, and I think they are still looking for more 37 drivers.

I know where to get some L382G if somebody at NOLINOR is reading

Very sorry to hear those affected. I heard sky regional is hiring guys with jet experience to fly on the E175's. Pay is crap but if you got no choice...

There had been occasional rumours for many years about a western base closing, unfortunately, it has now happened. Fortunately, it is happening at a time when there is some hiring in the industry.

It just seems that 7F and 5T are going to continue on until one folds. The market is too small for both of them.

CA and now First Air!! Sad times. Hope those affected can get back on their feet soon.

[LeakyFloats]

All the best to the fellas affected. I'm sure you guys will be back on your feet again soon.

Was the loss of the -200 Combi a factor maybe losing business?
