shakey Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 It's a charity not a business chopterlol. There are ways around everything in this world. Thats why I can't see why everyone is getting so butthurt over duty times. We just bend the truth a little and voila! Fully rested without leaving camp.

Helilog56 Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 A charity....get real. When this is offering services that are offered by commercial operators that have invested large amounts of capital to properly and lawfully run a business that creates employment, pays taxes, etc., one would not call this a charity....it is in reality a chisel charter outfit that is trying to work through a loophole.....what a bunch of garbage. I'm sure Transport Canada will be very interested in how this is playing out...enforcement is one of their areas that is actually working these days. Your statement shakey that, " there are ways around everything in this world" pretty much sums up the mentality..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Kupecz Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 I will definitely be keeping an eye on this operator. I wouldn't mind picking up one of their aircraft at auction prices. :-D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate explaining jokes as well. My god this industry is screwed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skidmark Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 So guys/galls that could shell out $50-60,000 for a pilots licence in the first place are now consider charity cases? Wow. How many duffel bags of weed can that little swamp buggy sling? Joke of coarse ; ) I'm not in a postion to hire people at the moment, but pretty sure I'd laugh the person out the door and tell them to come back when they have 'certified' hours. The person fresh out of a reputable school would be a wiser choice. Desperate people do desperate things especially in desperate times like these. Folks doing their licences now or considering doing their licences really better have done their homework ahead of time. If the old flight school is telling you that there are scores of pilots that will be retiring soon, run away. Guess what, thats the oldest line in the book. I first heard it in the 90's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R0T0R Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Does that overgrown RC helicopter have the mass to generate enough downwash to actually dry cherry trees without flying WAY to low... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heli Jockey Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Oh good, a business model built around not paying the aircrew. That sure helps us all... Brutal. No pilot, low time or otherwise should be volunteering. If you do, you are screwing us all over. +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tail rotor Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 I understand people are upset and feel this doesn't help our industry. If anything this will allow some entry into the business but I agree its not right. We're upset that some one would work for less, possibly effecting the industry as a whole, however it's happening all around us. For example how about muliti engine aircraft flying around for oil and gas or the mining sector, those large company's have minimum muliti engine hour requirements / time on type spec's , I'm willing to bet those reg's arn't being followed. I don' t see the difference, just happening on different levels in the industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
