matt_as350 Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Hello, Wondering about getting on as ground crew/base support/hanger rat with a Canadian base in BC this summer, (im not a pilot btw) Who do I talk to in the edmonton office? or what department? Thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
407 Driver Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 WHY Canadian ? There's a big world out there with companies WHO CARE for employees, why are you setting your sights for the bottom of the bucket first ? My experience has been that the casual help is hired at the Base level, so contact your favorite Base Manager, who is probably a much nicer person than anyone in Edmonton ...

T-rex Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Good Advice! Had a young fellow in here last week looking for work.....Canadian delivered a bunch of broken promises!!! That never happens there!?!?!?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
407 Driver Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 What did I say wrong ? I would feel the same way AFTER a coffee ! It just goes without saying that one must look at the whole picture, there's 1,700 (or so) commercial Helicopters in Canada, why limit your sights on 1 operator with 140 or so aircraft ? Is my sensitivity training helping me yet ? T-Rex, get any GREAT resume's lately ... and have you heard the latest on Johnny's predicament ??? He'll be travelling through this country in the next week or so.

T-rex Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 The Ft Erie area became a huge market for KFC and McDee's, soon after Maggie left Alberta, Two of Maggies favorite places to five star dine out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetbox Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 407 Driver, I'm 100% with you on you opinion of Canadian. I worked for them for enough years to have a ligitimate opinion. However, I think matt-as350 should try to start his career at Canadian Helicopters (as I think everybody should!) simply because it will make him appeciate his next employers all the more!!!! I never realized the world doesn't revolve around CHC until I left the company!!! No offence to anyone who still works there, to each his own.

407 Driver Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Good advice Jetbox, they have the best training in the industry. I have more years there than I care to mention publically too ! I never knew there was "life after CHC" but HEY, there is and it's Good !! :up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cap Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 407 Driver ------ please don't equate the old hummingbird with its' eastern cousin. You knew both and part of that service was with the old one. I doubt the bosses would see any similarities :down: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddle Jumper Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 Hey Guys Maybe Matt is on the right track. After all if he is considering a future in the helicopter industry there is nothing better than real life experience dealing with day to day helicopter operations. I know that there are better operators out there who will treat their employees better, but at least he will get his feet wet and will have a good understanding of what will be expected of him in the future. And if nothing else Matt will know if he truly wants to peruse a flying career. :up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
