First Nations Transportation (FNT)

Hey y'all,

I've checked online but can't find much about First Nations Transportation (FNT) in Winnipeg/Gimli, does anybody have info?

How long have they been around? Safety record? Any past/present pilots with stories? Wait time for crewmembers? etc. etc.

Thanks in advance!

Long story from a few years ago which is too complicated to get into but be afraid, very afraid and run away from them and Fred.

Not a good story or safe.

Hope that helps

G'day

My buddy is a captain on DC-3/C-47's at Gimili. He does 30 days on and 30 days off. He rotates back to here (North Bay, Ontario) this Saturday.

If you wish to get in touch with him, contact me at:

I haven't heard much good about them lately (including a story of a prospective hire who, after flying their checkout for the job, said he would never set foot on their C-46 ever again)...so I'd look elsewhere. That said, I haven't applied there yet...I'm on the waiting list for another somewhat-large operator here in YWG.

They are looking for F/Os on the C46 as of lately though, so if you REALLY need hours...well, they're looking...not much wait (compared to the wait I'm in...one year and counting, probably another year or so)...

Is that C-46 ex Air Manitoba? Just curious.
