  1. Are you still looking? Do you have anything to trade?
  2. Since the Blomega merger there has been a lot of sharing of aircraft. There is even another 407 in the hanger @ YVR that the are trying to get up to Whistler as well.
  3. Sorry the chart got messed up... 1st Yr 2nd Yr 3rd Yr 4th Yr New Licensed Tool & Die Maker 11.25 13.62 15.54 17.94 23.29 Mould Maker 11.16 13.59 16.05 20.07 22.89 General Machinist 10.93 13.83 15.78 17.96 23.44 Pattern Maker 11.05 14.90 15.95 18.50 23.94 Automotive 22.00 Carpenter 20.00 Cook 15.00 Electrician 20.00 HD Mech. 24.00 Millwright 24.00 Welding 20.00 This data is 2 – 4 years old and came from multiple Canadian sources. To correct for inflation add 3% per year. It seems common to pay 50-55% of the newly licensed wage to a fresh apprentice. What are students expecting to make fresh out of school in general? Wages come with experience and training. I can tell you 80% of the product coming out of the college where live un-hirable. I use the term product because the college seems to be operating as business and not a school. I will also say that I am considering phasing out my apprenticeship program completely. This is unfortunate for the industry as a whole but at the present time in the best interest of my company. The reasons for this are: 1) Poor quality of student 2) High turn over rate do to unrealistic expectations. 3) “What do mean I have to leave town for two weeks” or “It’s not 9 till 5?” Just my opinion... Just for interest sake... I left a cooking career to be where I am now….

  5. I have used the RADS, 8500 and currently use the DSS microvibe. I have tried all 3 systems on 407, 206B & L, AS350. Each has it benefits but no system is perfect. The 8500 I used was an older model and prone to breaking down, but when it was servicable it worked well. I believe the newer models are better. The Microvibe I currently use is impressive, especually when you look at the cost compared to some of the other systems. I like the fact that it does not require aircraft power to operate and that it is small compared to the other systems. I have found that the menus can be pain to navigate (Read: a lot of button pushing) and that the contol panel does not like to be used in the rain. PM me if you want more info on the DSS
  6. Coffee and Meal Breaks Most jurisdictions in Canada (British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan) provide that an employee is entitled to a meal break of at least one-half hour after each period of five consecutive hours of work. Similar provisions in Alberta allow eligible employees to take at least a one-half hour break during each shift in excess of five hours. Employees in Yukon are entitled to one half-hour break after five consecutive hours of work if they work ten hours or less on that day, or after six consecutive hours on a day where they work more than ten hours. The province of Newfoundland and Labrador awards to employees a meal break of one hour after five consecu­tive hours of work. Many jurisdictions provide that the meal break can be suspended during an emergency or unforeseeable event, and that employees may, in certain circums­tances, shorten or forego the meal break. In Ontario, an employee may agree to split a break in two periods totalling 30 minutes. Where necessary for medical reasons, employees in Saskatchewan are entitled to take a meal break at another time. Employers are not normally required to pay employees for time spent on a meal break. However, in some jurisdictions, employees who are required to remain at their work station or to be available for work during a meal break must be paid for that period as if work was being performed. Moreover, no legislation obliges an employer to provide coffee breaks to employees. However, if a coffee break is provided in Ontario, Quebec or Saskatchewan, employers must consider it as time worked. From HRDC Site See also: Matrix
