T-rex Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 R22 congrads on the job! Be aware of CHL and their spray program. There is alot of broken promises there! I have seen alot of ground crew there promised a chance of flying with the Red Crow, and later nothing! Get everything in writing, when it comes to expenses and salary's. I have seen it where they (CHL) gives you $100 a day for a hotel and meals. That won't cut in in Low Level or anywhere for that matter. The Bart Man who runs the spray is OK but flying with the Red Crow, the Bobby Twins make the choices. Have fun good luck, enjoy the early mornings and the mosquitoes. Watch out for the food at the Stardust! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R22Captain Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 all tips have been noted I'll report back on the stardust T-rex....how long ago were you on the spray crew? Chevy.....did cougar buy those new 61 blades from carson? Or just taking them for a test run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-rex Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 R22, I Managed A Base for CHW for 7 years, worked with the spray crew over the years, got to see alot of good and bad things there. Take what you get in stride. Don't expect any more than what they give you, Work hard and you may be rewarded. It's a start in the industry!

Rotorhead Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 That would be CHL that lost the contract, CHC hasn't sprayed in a long time. RH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-rex Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Delta has taken the service contract for Tolko, but I believe they are not in the spraying business! Not too sure whom is spraying inthem parts..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddle Jumper Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Speaking of Delta, does anyone know if they are still operating 44s in the oil patch? I know they had the 44s for sale. Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
