427 Position

If they do go after IFR certification, I hope they add glass windows up front. Plastic windows do not like to be stroked.....

... VFR flight at night out of YHZ ,now, there is a scarcy ideal. Let hope it's the exception rather than the rule. we are talking about the east coast where if you don't like the weather, wait 15 minutes it will change...

I've been flying on the East Coast off and on since 1988 with both fixed wing and rotary. There certainly are scarier places to fly night VFR. Sounds like this 427 is going to be well suited for the environment. As for needing an extra set of eyes or hands and feet during maintenance, I know a lot of local drivers that could get talked into helping there, myself included.

Seems the company has airplanes too, so there's probably a few engineers around as well.

 

Man some of you guys can fund negative in anything. Brand new helicopter, new opportunity, supposedly good company, and all you can do it find something wrong. :down:

SOB - nice scooter. Is it in Canuckistan or do you have it down south with you?

 

Maggie - no knotted knickers here, and you're right - I haven't seen the inside of a CHL strobe kit in a very long time

Sounds like this 427 is going to be well suited for the environment,How?

I have been flying the east coast since 1978, for what it worth, that "VFR not IFR"

Stealth, You're just dead set AGAINST these folks buying and operating a helicopter ?? Why?, do you work for Capt Highliner or Greenpeace something?

 

They will find someone to do the job, and they'll set the rules of employment as they see fit. It's their 3 million they spent of the aircraft, whether it's a good, bad or indifferent choice, it's their choice.

it's a free country ,everyone is entitled to his or her choices. we are talking a about a one person operation.

you and a few others may thing the corporate world is rose colored. Been there done that , can give you and anyone willing to listen a few pointers.

Just because i 'm new to this site does not mean i'm just blowing smoke. i know what i'm talking.

By the way this is not personnal, but we can have a pissing.... match if you want

[R22Captain]

Please let's not have one of those "match's" The site just got shut down for a few days due to a similar event. Let's keep er clean.

 

I'm excited to see growth. Especially on the east coast. I'd like to work my way back there someday and the more heli's around the better. I know a few of the fixed wing pilots that work for them and all have nothing but positive things to say.

i think the site was shut down because someone said, that someone else said, about some company. which iis rumour or fictional and therefore you can be held liable.

what i'm saying is "i'm willing to debate the fact with one and all without making it personnal, but i guess a few have very fragile ego's

[Cutter]

Stealth, Last time I checked there was NO need for a so called "Match". :down:

Yes, opinions differ but I thought we all liked beer , riblets and the ballet. :up: :up:
