Transport Stats On Comm Lic Issued...

[Canrotor]

Lets see if we can get this site moving.........!!

I can't seem to find a number on the transport Canada website regarding how many commercial helicopter licenses were issued in the last 12 months.

I believe last year there were 268 commercial helo lic's issued....and how many do you think got a job......15....???


COMMENT ANYONE.....?????? :huh:




THANKS.

Five of my class of eight (finished winter '02-'03) have been hired and 4 of us are actually flying.

Interesting seeing the stats by age. The numbers don't seem to say that the biz is as top heavy with middle aged 'soon to be retiring, leaving a vacuum' sort of situation.

" we can always pray for good things to happen ay !! "

i used to head out in spring and say "mama, make sure you pray for forest fires"! she told me you can't pray for destruction of beautiful forests!!! i said: "oh yes mama, you can"!!!

thanks for posting that link 412, some really neat numbers in there to browse through.

Although I would question the accuracy;

ATPL (H)'s per province for example are way off base. TC shows that the Rock has only 17...............funny, there are 18 guys looking over my shoulder while I type this, and they are all card carrying ATP drivers. Oh well, ya wouldn't want the government publishing something that was accurate anyway..............no offence there CTD. B)

 

[412driver]

i don't know, it's the transport canada websight :huh: :huh:

are those 18 guys all from the rock or were the atpl's issued elsewhere???

 

[Canrotor]

THANKS 412.......!!!!!!!!!!

 

[RDM]

hmmm...........now ya got me thinkin 412, I thought that it was actually were they were active, as in were/what region the medicals were done. Will ask the question the next time I talk to a buddy of mine in licencing.

Did a list of quick names a know of at leat 30 guys with ATPL (H) here on the island alone and with the exeption of one or two they are all active.
