Nicely Said...
'Willie', nicely said in all your posts. My sentiments completely. We've got lots of good people here in the 'North' to fill the positions and until we get the ability to freely move to other countries and take the jobs, Canadians fill the positions here.
I'll hire a low time Canadian pilot over a more experienced foreign pilot. At least a local guy can show me where Yellowknife or Cambridge Bay is.
