Sisyphus, let's be honest, the guy posted with the intent of stirring things up and got exactly what he wanted. He was unwilling to admit who he was and thus was unable to defend his position. He should have kept his mouth shut. If collective agreements can protect guys like this, then you...

Well spoken cap.

Yes, and X-Mas goose too. No way to get around it on a touring job. At least we should be able to call home.

Sharkbait, You are right, too much of the negative stuff here and this has a lot to do with why I've tried lately to stay clear. I tend to get riled up too easy after a long day over here. One of my co-workers suggested one of us write a short story about the ride to work. But we all figured...

On a serious note, for a change, the refresher course is well worth the effort for a couple reasons: You learn from some very experienced people. You make friends you will certainly see again. You network within the business very effectively.

Hello again Don, yes, we meet again. I'll write a longer answer this time. Usually I'm trying to minimize my time on the computer here. Regarding my point #2, you indicated the problem with the thumbs-down after your comment that Ontario money was going to Quebec. That is what I was...

OK, the counterpoint. I, too, hate seeing guys blow thousands of dollars on flight training and get nothing from it. But, the only way the industry is assured of getting the best possible product is if they they have a selection of potential employees. If only certain people get a chance to...

1. CHL 2. It's the same country, get over it. 3. 45%, 45% also for Dobbin, 5% each for the former heads of CHE/CHW (as of when I left) 4. since when are unions sanctioned by owners. The FTQ invested because it had to be a company based in Quebec, there aren't that many I won't touch your...

Blackmac. Just to look at the counterpoint. If only enough pilots were trained to satisfy the jobs available then those dipsticks that shouldn't be working but got a training slot because their brother-in-law's buddy was the chief pilot at Low Budget Air would be around for ever. How can you...

Finally, Don, we are completely in agreement!

DecuMajor, I've been on the receiving end of management by CHC-E, CHL, CHC-Intl, CHC-Africa, and now CHC-Schreiner. You have by far the worst of it right now. CHC-Intl was the best. Given a choice (I know, no choice, we vote with our feet), this is the best of the possible outcomes. If Cape...

:up: To: CHC staff worldwide From: Craig Dobbin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Date: July 02, 2004 My fellow employees, As I communicated on June 7, we have embarked upon a thorough examination and evaluation of our organizational structure and operations with a view to strengthening...

Well Kyle, how about a little from column A and a little from column B: I also found some reticence(sp) about talking wages but I have always disagreed with it. The less we know the more the shady employers can get out of us for nothing. Back in Canada I was making $70,000 per annum as a VFR...

Too bad Canada is run and populated by Metzenbaum's.

Yes, many condolences. Is it possible for anyone in the know to PM the name of the pilot. I have some friends in that neck of the woods. Thanks.
