Venus Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 Have heard BC Hydro has extended its existing contract with approved helicopter providers through 2020. Too bad for anyone on the outside trying to get on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonnyRotor Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 How can you get a copy of the list ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackmac Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 7 hours ago, RonnyRotor said: How can you get a copy of the list ?? There are usually two types of contracts, Fixed Contracts for a certain period on a sole use basis, or Standing Offer Contract on an as and when required basis. Normally both are for a period of years with provision for extensions as stated in the original document. How BC Hydro does their contracting is up to them and they have recently gone thru a shake up in their operations and became extremely safety aware and require Pilots with prior power line experience in the mountains. I would suggest you give them a call and get it from the Chief Pilot. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R0T0R Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 I’m betting he dealt with more lowtimers than most flight instructors. I totally understand the grumpy exterior. I wish I would have understood that better at the time. Sad news for a fixture in the industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
