So is this gonna be a good or bad year for aircrews? It looks like a great year for engineers due to the often talked about shortage which is upon us. Don't sell yourselves short. 

And go!

But you guys still will sell yourselves short. Just to tell the girls you are in the helicopter industry. And get to hang out with the guys who actually fly them.

Will be a great year if they use helicopters to bucket protesters.

Well, exploration seems to be coming back up and there is always fires to chase.  Forestry may be picking back up too, not sure about actual heli logging though.

With any luck we'll have pilotless machines soon.

Well we won't so you'll still have to be envious of us for a while yet.

How do you know there’s a drone pilot in the room?...😂

That (experienced) pilot shortage continues to worsen, unfortunately no one is showing much inclination to put hours into the guys n girls being pumped out of the puppy mill flight schools. 

Alberta is getting a pretty healthy winter, not sure there's gonna be much for fires. What about the rest of the country?

We were just discussing filling a spray machine with bear spray.
