Flying mediums in Canada

[tonyroll]

Hi everyone,
How to become pilot for mediums (205, 212...) in Canada When you are flying AStar only on contracts ?
Any good companies and good places to make the move?
Any advice?
Thanks for answer and wish you all a good season!

Campbell usually upgrades a pilot a year in the early spring, for the last few years, providing you have the right requirements.

Go sit on Fires in a Medium or get on a busy drill gig in an Astar! I know what id pick.

They are desperate for good drill guys this season.

sounds like a wise advice after talking with some other pilots this summer...need now to find opportunity to practice more longlining. We are doing some during summer with bambi or nets but not much. Always need to improve our skills in this job. Never ends... 👍🏻😁

If the money is the same....sitting on fires beats working yourself to death slinging.

But then I always was a money grubber!

I think u would be busy sitting on fires in a medium this year.

Agreed, this year would be the year to get on a Medium for sure! She's burning!!
