wondering how much of the panic posts in the jobs section is because of the minimum required employees/lease terms with the city

other probability is if its the same pay scale as three rivers, then theres probably no stampede.

Not a problem. Premier can soon approach Lisa Raitt and explain that they can't attract enough local talent to staff their operation, and they need to bring in workers from "off-shore".

It's nothing new in Canada. But it's pretty freakin sad.

[chowda]

Yup. Just trying to show due diligence with attempting to hire in canada.
Next step just like cascade a few years ago - bring in filipinos at 17 bucks an hour.
Thats actually not that much less than premier pays anyhow, lol.

I applied at Premier about a year ago and I got a call from them 2 days ago and they wanted to hire me for Windsor location. I have a few buddies that works at the Three Rivers location in Quebec as contractors and they put in a good word for me when they saw my resume. I thanked my buddies for putting in the good word for me and also asked them how thick was the dust on my resume.
Anyways, I told the HR lady for Premier that they're too late to the game, but thanks for the offer.

And btw, the pay isn't so good. Last time I heard it was only 2x dollars per hour for a licensed ACA mechanic to start. And that "x" doesn't go pass 5.

Wow!

Yup. line starts behind me. no pushing or shoving.

I have a phone interview with the DOM tomorrow. Good info to know. I dont understand how they expect people to live on that kind of money.

No wonder they are trying to hire like mad these days. Nobody who is licensed wants to work for what an apprentice should be paid.

[conehead]

I have a phone interview with the DOM tomorrow..

So, how did it go? Did they ask you to come in for a "live" interview?

[Inverted2]

Wow they are putting job ads up every other day. Have an AME friend wondering about the place in Windsor. Any good/bad or all bad?

[chowda]

they are now hiring "IMMEDIATELY" !! for the same positions they've been offering since they started advertising 2 month ago.

im thinking no stampede of people willing to fix airplanes for 20 bucks a hour.

too funny

[johnkruk]

20 bucks an hour in Windsor = 80 bucks an hour in Vancouver

[chowda]

spin it however you want, but your still working on/signing out airplanes for low twenties an hour. But sounds like u r ok with that.

funny the government there pays just about every other trade known better wages than premier, even though it was built with govt money

[acidgambit]

The cargo agents that operate the heavy machines for loading and unloading aircraft cargo pods make like only 15 a hour. They were asking me one day how much I was making as an AME....and they shat their pants when I told them 3X.


Anyways, Skyservice is hiring for Skyregional. Apply there. They pay decent money. I have a buddy that works there. He likes it.

To be fair you get an extra .25cents per endorsement you bring with you. So if the starting ACA wage is $31.00/HR and you have 10 endorsements you'll make $33.50/HR...still not great I know....but people reading you post will assume you only get .25cents to sign out airplanes which is not true.

maybe city council should have offered free rent to Premier AME's

[iflyforpie]

Go buy a house in Detroit for $1 and live the dream.....

I heard from the Q/A department that Premier hired a whole bunch of automobile assembler/mechanics to work in the Windsor facility with a few licensed AMEs leading the project. One of our airplanes went to Windsor for heavy check and it came out of heavy with more snags.
