Duf,
Helijet is a good company, good equipment etc.
They fly very predictable routes, so they can offer a schedule, benefits, airline discounts etc.
They used to hire low timers (maybe still do) to unload baggage, then work in Dispatch, and eventually get flying as a co-pilot. Then the new pilots had to move on to get some real solo Pilot In Command time somewhere up north.
Eventually the pilot gets married, and Mrs Pilot wants a schedule, benefits etc., so the pilot gets his IFR rating and heads back to live in Vancouver and hires on with Helijet to fly to Victoria 5 times a day !!
Meanwhile some pilots decide that's not what they want, and get a divorce.
No schedule, no benefits, no guarantees..........but all the babes, big bucks and beer-induced glory that a northern Canadian community can provide.
It's a non-stop party for real pilots. I love it. !!
