Well you have a few options, In the Québec province, you can knock on a the folowing doors. In YZV: Air Labrador, Régionnaire. In YBC: Air Satellite. In YUL: Cargaire, In YVO Air Creebec. In YTF: Air Alma. In YQB: Aeropro. Well Anyway I hope that helps.

Good luck in your quest. But I have only one question Why do you want to work for an over tax contry again???? http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/confused.gif :)

Er, I think it says C340 and C310 as in Cessna as opposed to Airbus.

Anyhow, with Islander time you could try Sander Geophysics out of Ottawa www.sgl.com (http://www.sgl.com) or Navair out in Vancouver.
With Navajo time, pack up the car, drive to Northwestern Ontario and into Manitoba and you will be beating back the job offers in that area!

Any prospects for a chap with 2600 hours, 100 jet and only 220 of that total on pistons, the rest twin turbine?

Thanks...

[AIRLIFT]

Yes an32, Try the ones I posted up here, most of them also opperate twin Turbines. I forgot to mention there is also Skyservice in both YUL and YYZ that Opperates small jets (lears) and Twin Turbines.

Good luck to both of you.

Thanks a bunch - will get onto those asap. If you get wind of anymore would you mind sending them through too - cheers

an32, if you're endorsed on the B1900, e-mail me ASAP.

I have heard that Conair in CYXX is short a few pilots - need an ATR and you will probably be on an Aerostar. I hear they also need 2 - 802 drivers. If you have heavy taildragger time, and being close to the ground (when the ground is not flat) does not bother you, they need you.

Once upon a time you had to have high time to work for them, but times have changed and the money is not as good as it was, but you now have an opportunity to break into firebombing.

Rumour has it that they also need a Dash 7 captain - if you have the right kind of time they will type you too, and you will get the chance to fly the loveliest Dash!

Good luck all.

Could you please eloborate on the Conair pay structure?
Thanks

[xsbank]

Doo - I can't tell you what they pay anymore, but you will make a good wage for a summer's work; if you survive probation, you get a number which guarantees a call next year.

Firebombing with Conair is a demanding, professional, largely VFR operation which follows the true tenets of aviation, ie loooong periods of boredom punctuated with doses of pure adrenalin. Expect to average 140 hours in 130 days....unless you have large tail-dragger time you will likely fly an Aerostar or a Caravan.
