They can’t organize and fight a fire in the daylight how are they going to do it in the dark. Who runs the radios at midnight now and comes to the rescue when you get a chip light oh just wait till 10am when everyone shows up to work does the field of dreams turn into just that machines on mins sitting at night while they try to staff the night ops teams

What will that mean for the current operator and contract?

on a Facebook post not sure if it’s true

can happen anywhere not just a tourism op.. campaign fire multiple ships, busy drill job in out of staging, heli skiing poor weather sharing terrain.. the list goes on good to go back to what we were taught : aviate, navigate, communicate

HTSC have the hawk on the register looks like things will change in the fire game anyone else making the leap?

Any more news on this?

Every single company in Canada is looking for pilots and engineers just look in the careers tab, simply too many aircraft and not enough guys. the foreign drivers fill the seat to get by for the season, some stay and make a life here and still carry an accent. As said will be interesting to see how much iron sits as no drivers back to the original post... the market is in our hands wages are going up for pilots and engineers here's to a safe summer ahead

The travel to places some can only imagine, working with a wide range of folks some smart others not so much! base work or away with a top notch crew many many nights having a laugh sipping chilled waters International career I’ve enjoyed in a few different spots. always learning, new types, new jobs, clients etc

Engineer I believe

White river was only in terrace. yellowhead operates over winter skiing in blue river best to call the valemount office for a 206 just up the road

What is everyone thinking with this current issue? Non essential business closing. Any cases in camp the camps will most likely be shut down Domestic flights being cancelled each day. So for those who work in different provinces and need to travel to work, is it now driving crew changes? And how far are people willing to drive for a shift?? spring training classes are being cancelled, does this mean those who are not ppc’d are the first to be let go?

He GF I thought you had a light speed in your helmet?? You switch to the Bose?

Maybe call Qwest in fort nelson, ask if they can share, i believe the only operator in Canada.
