For all you naysayers, why??? Give the operation a chance to try it out.. I think you should all be happy that someone is trying to get something going in this country at a time when the prospects are gloomy at best..
Last year, the company operated just 1 Beaver along the coast.
snotbox, nice name.... I think if you had any knowledge you would find that it was not last year that they started operating a beaver....
Are you aware of the current availablility of 747 Freighters these days? They are a pretty lean commodity, 100`s of which there are a few, are range limited for the routes they suggest, 200 Freighters are basically not available, as those that are have already been spoken for, which accounts for new conversions being done, ( at great cost)
300 freighters, not certified in Canada, or the US, so nope.
400 freighters, no way does cost to return work here with a startup, onea/c operation.
canadair, while some of what you say is true.. Can you tell me which types of 747 freighters do in fact have a Canadian type certificate?? BTW they are all available for the right price...
They never owned, or leased a BEaver. Operated 1, for a year.
to tell the truth...If they never owned or leased one, how did they ever operate it????
Glad I'm not wasting my money travelling there for an interview, and I will be extremely suprosed if they even manage to get 1 guy trained.
Just so you know, I hear that they do have 2 full crews trained now...
You people crack me up.... You crap all over anyone who has an idea and tries to put it into action... Then you want all the benefits once it is a done deal.. Why don't you let the company do their best to get going and create some employment which is badly needed in this country and wish them the best.. If you think it is too risky for you, don't apply.... If not, shut up and let them do their thing..
