Float flyig job

Hi

I just got my commercial liscence some time ago with 50h floatplane and multi rating, I am mostly interested in bush flying, but as you probably know it's very difficult to get started in the industry, so if anyone have a hint about a company or anything else, it would be greately appreciate.

Thanks

Tons of Float companies in Ontario, at least 30. Problem is many of these companies require some time, more experience, the better chances. 200 hours on floats is a good number. Don't have it, you might have to work on the dock loading and unloading baggage for a year. Reason is they want to know you're trust worthy and most companies won't hire a rookie to fly their only plane (in some cases).

Let me know what area you are looking for and I'll try to get you some contacts.


Good Luck!

Regards,

BFD
