cyclic monkey Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 You 6000 minute dudes are too **** keen........ Now that my boss has read your post he thinks you are great, and wants to hire you and fire me !! Then he's decided to have all our pilots and engineers stay at Hostels to save money while we chase fires from Dryden to Whitehorse and back. AAAARGH.

a_c Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Look in HRDC, there is a job for a pilot in Thunder Bay. The company just opened a new base there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambi Bucket Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 I know Great Slave Heli are looking for people right now, I believe they are looking for pilots with 1500 hrs Minimum, Longline and Drill moving experience would be good to have as well when applying, they are Great people to work for and treat their crews the best of any company I have seen.

Thumper2 Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Now if memory serves me correctly (it is old and does mess up) there is NO such thing as a "TC approved Mountain Course". You will find "An approved Mountain Course" but not by TC. So any company who wishes to sit down and design their own course layout and training syllabus may do so. This can then be submitted to your local forestry branch for review and their "approval". Then you train your driver accordingly and document this training as with all other training and if you wish you can use MS word to make up a nice fancy certificate so said driver can hang it on his wall. Again time may recently have changed some of this but I have yet to see an outline by TC for Mountain Course approvals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAR Posted May 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Congrats R22 Captain, Are you heading out west? Or does CHL have spray crews for Eastern as well? When I flew out west for CHL (CHW at the time) I worked with these crews and most of the guys that were helping out made it in to the pilots seat. I wish the same for you. All the best.

R22Captain Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Thank you SAR......it's a big relief to land a job. Yes it is out west. Many of the guys who worked ground crew last year are flying this year. As far as I know the only spraying out east is in Freddy....but apparently a very small op...like 1 pilot and 1 ground crew. Could be some going on in Quebec but I speculate Francais would be required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CHEVY II Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 :up: Congrats, Robby Captain!!! :up: While your on the ground crew, keep your head down and your arse up. When all **** breaks lose and it will...don't panic and don't rush! REMEMBER...Your just killing trees! The Original "Gooper". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R22Captain Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 haha thanks for the advice Chevy, I'll keep that in mind! I was back in Halifax a month or so ago and saw you out the hanger movin some blades but was unable to find anyone to sneek me out there. As far as my location it'll be pretty much everywhere north of Edmonton.....I think we're starting in High Level and coming back down from there.
