The Good List

[leadingedge]

Thanks for the input AR, and good suggestions.

 

Could you provide me with a simplified list of your poll question suggestions,1-6 up to 10. you may either post it here that would be preferable so that all could provide some feedback or you can PM to me and I will post.

 

Once I have complied a list of polling questions we can submit 10 to a poll here, so that every participant here can vote on which questions will be used as the final 6 poll questions for the "Good List"

Well that's another thread HIJACKED he guys it it so frickin' hard to start your own GD thread...

Your suggestion about a "good list" is an excellent idea! Please submit some questions that could be made part of the 6 question pole per company.

 

Surely , you experiences with different companies have caused you to ask questions?

[Deep Throat II]

You guys have lost it if you think you are going to find out about corporate culture in a poll, I have the number of a good shrink, what heli company in canada is the same in april as july, guess what none (Helijet), #### happens when the season gets rollin' as long as everything is back to normal in the fall and people learn from the mistakes or problems that happened during the rush then excellent.

 

Also as proven on this forum one person's dream company could be another's nightmare.

That is precisely why any list must be an accumulation of everybodies opinions. Your opinion has the same value as mine or the next persons. But when you add the opinion of 100 persons, patterns begin to emerge.

 

Providing a better overvview that just one person opinion. It 's that fairest thing possible!

 

Pilots can consult the list, and make a decision about employment or whatever by themselves.

 

It may work , make some questions up and PM me, once we can all agree on what questions are relevent ,then we have a tool.

 

We have nothing now!

Good day,

 

Someone was looking for a listing of helicopter operators in Canada. After a bit of research on the TC website I've compiled the list below of 197 operators with heli, rotor or crane in their name. I'm sure I missed a few but I certainly got the bulk of them.

 

Later,

Good work Pitch link!

 

Now we need some polling questions for each operator. Only six will be used for each so we have to arrive at a concensus as to what questions will be used.. Suggestions please up to 10 or just provide 1 or 2. When we have a good selection then we vote on which are used. As a suggestion the main topics such as maintenance, Safety, Employee employer relations should be included, what about "Pay question" "Hiring practices" " Honesty" "dispute resolution" "Time off" ..........

 

I have copied the list of operators- If there are any that where missed please PM or post the name.

 

We are gettiing there!

[leadingedge]

Could somebody please volunteer or make a suggestion as to if it would be required to group those AOC's under management groups? Do we look at the matter as a Micro or Macro management division?

 

Would it be the fairest to group in accordance with Ops managers?per AOC. (This is for sure the simplest solution.)

 

Example - Heli-inter, Heli Exel, Mustang, ..... ect would come under Coast to Coast?

 

Same for HTS they run a few companies too..

 

Upper management is in fact the same in some instances.

 

Suggestions..?, and polling questions?
