Rob Ofstie Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Just curious who's running the R44 Newscopter out of Toronto/Buttonville these days? Has anybody flown for them that would be willing to share some experiences? Do they hire lowtimers? Mostly just curious. Might be interested in perusing some heli flying again mostly for fun.

Heizenberg Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Pretty sure it's LR Helicopters that runs the operations in Toronto, Vancouver, and Edmonton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JetboxJockey Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 LR was running it as of last year. From what I've heard, they hire guys from within LR's flight school. They are hired on for a year flying traffic and then cut loose to make way for new graduates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
displayname Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Known a few pilots gone through the LR traffic system.. All have done well and moved on to bigger operations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coleball Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 I flew traffic in Vancouver as my first job for a year and a half with the company mentioned above. I did not get my commercial license through them, just happened to make a stop by there during my road trip. As far as I know they still run the helicopters in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Toronto. You do have to have a night rating to fly the traffic however. If you have any other questions, feel free to DM me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
