Shall I copy and paste it for you? Or has Helirico now stopped hurting your feelings?

The sheer professionalism when hiding behind a display name.
Not appropriate. At. All.
Looks like you did have internet up in that remote camp. How lucky for us. Don't forget to PM me when someone else is bullying you on here.

I’ve worked for my share of Canadian companies I’d never consider again lol. It’s all what you want, but Canada isn’t even ranking third world anymore, more like fifth or sixth for the heli game. The real work is outside these borders for now unfortunately, which the company in question definitely had the balls to pursue.
Might as well spread the misery around for sure.

Well they can afford it on what they make up for second officers.

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
So rinse and repeat then. And no not every single company is looking. Mostly just the usual suspects.

Everywhere except Canada it seems, G'day mate, ya, ya, ya... FM! Do you think i could go one summer without hearing that?
So you will probably being more of that if you're up in the Yukon.🙄

Plus some companies don't want to move away from their archaic work schedules so they can only attract a certain breed of pilot. Once you've done the even time off time on tours it's hard to fathom doing anything different. I'd quit too if I had to go back doing that.

27 years in and ready to move on. The absolute worst thing about being a helicopter pilot is the lack of home life (like being home every night).
Don't get me wrong, the experience from High Arctic to Sunny Tropics has been amazing.
But then we get old and possibly lonely and I even wonder if it was worth it.
Would never do it again if I could start over.
Yup! The nicest view in the machine with the lowest pay.

You claim your mins went up even after arguing
I believe you are claiming you are a pilot in high demand as your phone is ringing off the hook. So are you a pilot or an owner.
I will not PM our say anything to you or anyone else about who is giving leases without mins. Why would i want to do that and have you running around trying to get what they negotiated. Seems to me You are just a right fighter. Is there a lot of topics you reply to that you don't get into with someone. Enough said have a nice day. I will no longer post on this topic.
You don't have to be an owner to be in the loop.

I guess we all just have to live with the reality now that until there is a need for a pilot to fly their helicopter on the chance of a hire, we will just find ourselves sitting unpaid, by the phone, waiting for a call, from a company like this one? I hope this doesn't become a norm...
No wonder this place is dropping pilots like flies...
Well you might but my and my friends phones have been ringing off the hook.

Other than insurance cost's most leased machines these days are power by the hour.
Name those leasing companies that are doing that? Cause our mins went up last year and when we argued it they said they had 5 more companies willing to take that machine off our hands.

The point is probably the owners would rather go broke parked with something sellable. Then go broke with something they can't sell because they can't afford to fix it.
Kind of amazes me how some people think operators should go out and work for nothing a long as the flight crew are not asked to take a wage roll back. If the owners ask for wage cutbacks then everyone gets on the forum and calls them cheap. It's ok for the owners to work for nothing. Just don't ask me to do that.
Who asked that? Maybe certain companies should not undercut the going rates and maybe they could stay above water in slower times. If they can't afford to fix their machines because they undercut rates they only have themselves to blame. You make zero sense.

Seems like everywhere is hurting right now. I think a lot of places are trying to run lean in this economy.
What's the point in owning a parked helicopter?

Ask the owner of contrail how many hours he has in helicopters. Then ask him about the time he was a Shell pilot bending that private jet. I wish I could have come up with this scam. CON trail ..... The irony in that name.

Im referring to a lot of engineers in NZ when the machine is at 3rd party maintenance not in the field.
It was sarcasm. I can send you a link to the meaning if you’d like?
