You Sir, always have a way with words. That's putting it out plain and simple.

By the way, I just flew your Film crew from last week...they raved about how good "G Mc" was. I agreed! Please pass that along

Have you checked out the pic of WXJ in the "Web Funnies" section? You guys have done some good work on the old gal to bring it back to life, it was one Butt-ugly piece of work when I had it in '91...notice that CHC didn't have the time, money, or ambition to even paint the "J" on it.

how many back injury patients could there possibly be out there?
I''m not sure how Workmans Comp and OHS feel about it, but blowing wads of cash for a guy to ride out in a helicopter because he wacked his finger or stubbed his toe, would surely be seen as a waste during a financial audit. Throw the dumbarse into a pick-up and tell him to watch himself next time.
With all the good intentions, it''s understandable that this might be a good idea now, but budgets are budgets and beancounters don''t like to waste money.
I don''t know how your operation will fit in the government controlled world of medevacs, but likley if your machine does callouts for any road accidents (obviously not directly related to any particular Oil Company), the best you might get is a short hop to manning then Rob King Enterprises will be waiting for you with his King Air to take over.
How will these short hops and trips affect your maintenance budget? I''m not familiar with 222''s but I''m guessing they have cycle counts on some of the components as well.

Downwash, I just did a search, and it IS the same airplane as I flew in 1991. It''s GWXJ (S/N 1791), and was with CHC then, they turned it over to Sunrise, then you picked it up in ''95. I can imagine that it was a "total write-off" as it was very very close when I last saw it.

Oh, and 407, our GWXJ was a total writeoff and, according to the Register, is still registered to us. We certainly haven''t rebuilt it, so I don''t know what''s up with the bird in the pic. Just can''t be ''J'', I guess.

I''ll be glad to pass on the plaudits to G.M. Isn''t it nice to know we''ve got quality at both ends of the range?

just to stir it up again........

heard from a buddy that they will put a machine in manning and ft. macmurray, that the
schedule will be 2 weeks on 2 weeks off, and that the salary will be $7500.00 per month........

true??...........

 

[MagSeal]

$7500 for two weeks work?

Now if that doesn''t indicate a short lived venture, I don''t know what will. The bank will be empty and the resume pile will be up to the ceiling. And Bubba will be crying the blues cause he''s got to sit in a crapped out chevy for a two hour ride to the thriving metropolis of Manning.

412, that kind of fits with what a ''not so little'' bird told me - that he''d been offered SIX figures to fly left seat VFR! You''d have to get in the line about Nampa if that was for real!

Hey Guys;


I sure wish the remuneration you are talking about was true. However, if that were the case, the company would be broke in no time flat. You are right, the line up would be to Nampa.

Each Capt and F.O. will get pay as per experience and negotations. Just like any other job in the industry.

Have a good day and any questions, I will try to answer. By the way, we have run into a little problem which has caused a delay in the delivery of the ship. But I have it on he highest authority the ship will be flinging this way soon.

thanx

 

[412driver]

okay, i'm editing and will rephrase the question:

collective, do you mean that each Captain will be able to negotiate his own salary and that the pilots will all be on their own payscale?

or,

if there will be a payscale, what is it?


thanks......
