    I lived in Alaska and worked for a flying service throughout the 90's and thats exactly how the north country works. This TV series is sooo dang good, superior to anything currently on TV.

    Tyler, a young kid, made himself look significantly better than fully matured Joe McBryan by saying "thank you" and seeking a handshake from Joe.... Joe responded by keeping his hands in his pockets and telling him he hopes he doesn't hurt himself. Wow

      Did you bother watching his whinging, attitude, and poor work ethic in previous episodes? I’m with Joe, you can’t be classless as an employee and then only show class the day you leave.

    Brilliant Programme, When Ray brought that Electra down on Two sets of Wheels, I would've thought the damage was terminal for the Plane but obviously I was wrong & glad about it. Even the Women have got Balls to Fly & work in this Weather & I wish this Programme was still being made 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

    I agree with Mr.Malbach. In Canada pilots with 2,500 or more usually have the ATR, which stands for Airline Transport Rating. If you applied for a job with Air Canada, you have to already have this rating. This rating not only requires a minimum time of 2,500 hrs but in it you are already Multi Engine Certified and have a Class 1 instrument rating. Some pilots with this much time, mostly are Flight Instructors too and could also have a Senior Commercial, one step higher than the. basic commercial. The Aussie came with a commercial, multi and instrument rating, and after checking out in a DC 4, they put him down to a rampie. Sounds more like a little bit of jealousy or fear from the other senior pilots. He has the hours, he is younger and if they gave him a fair shot, he could very well displace one of them. These people waste talent. They keep saying that they are short of pilots that aren't fresh out of flight school, and when one falls into their lap, and after they see how good he is, they decided to put him in his place and humiliate him. Now I did not know of this series until recently so I don't know if Buffalo still exists today, but if they do, I'll bet the Aussie is no longer with them.

      @cabobs2000 2 года назад +1

      I think if you want to do that on a commercial aircraft you sort of can't. Mickey talked about it on his yt channel. They can't even use retired C-130 Hercules. There are turbine DC-3s, but I think C-46 is a better size. It's not worth the money to certify one aircraft. Buffalo flies the last c-46. ATRs Dash-7s Dash-8s L-100 hercs 737 probably what's going to do the job.

    As tough as it can be to go from high up in the food chain down to the lower or the entry level, personally I think that it's good! You want to be the guy that can go anywhere in the company and be able to do the job. From top to bottom, bottom to top! That makes you valuable and gives you job security, plus it makes your day to day tasks much easier because you understand what and why things are being done the way that they are. That's just my opinion anyway 😁

    This is why they can’t keep pilots. They put a professional pilot who Mikey says is “pretending pilot” on the ramp like a pilot with 100 hours a disgrace that is a slap in the face. Plus old planes carrying their capacity is a recipe to become a black spot in the snow

    Very bad using of resources having the Aussie sent to Hay River to become a mindless rampy. Think of the resumes Buffalo gets. Do any of them have a guy with 3000 hours real flying? Mikey and the rest of the office are out of touch with recruiting.

    • @thegreatdominion949
      @thegreatdominion949 Год назад

      He shouldn't expect any special treatment. He may have over 2000 hours in his log book, but that doesn't qualify him to be anything but a rookie pilot here. By his own admission, Buffalo's aircraft and the conditions in the Canadian North are in a completely different category from anything he has handled before. He'll have to earn his way off the ramp, and rightly so.

      It’s not just Canada, but Alaska too & anywhere in the Arctic, because we put large amounts of sand & gravel on the roads during the winter for added traction, the gravel gets kicked up by vehicle tires & crack the windshields of the vehicles behind them. Another cause is putting the heater on defrost right when you start the vehicle & the windshield is frozen can make them crack horizontally across the windshield right where the defroster blows.
