splitpin Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 That being said, BM is correct in noting that everyone has a vote at the HAC - It's not just for owners but for operators, pilots, engineers alike. Jen Jen: I think I understand what you are trying to say. Just for clarification are you saying that all Operators, Pilots and Engineers have a vote regardless if they are members of HAC or not??

Juliet Lima November Posted March 10, 2009 Author Report Posted March 10, 2009 Splitpin, I'm saying that everyone's opinion counts, and any ideas you or any of your peers may have that would better the industry for us all are definitely important opinions. The HAC committee meetings are open to all HAC members, and HAC members can be corporate OR individual. If you want to make a difference, there's an avenue to do that - Whether it's contacting me or someone else who has chosen to get involved with the HAC, or whether you choose to join as an individual. Either way, there's an opportunity for your ideas and solutions to be heard. Quote

I think you will go far with HAC and I wish you the best Pam. My Best Splitpin Just a short sideline Pam: Do you think HAC will be working with HEPAC?? Quote
helicopterjim Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 and I wish you the best Pam. Who's Pam? Quote
splitpin Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Who's Pam? I stand corrected, (again) Jen. Sorry Quote
FREDDIE Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 In case the members of HEPAC did not notice I with drew my member ship by not renewing my membership this year.I asked one of the directors as a Canadian pilot what HEPAC,s position on work permits was and got the same answer they were working on a mentoring program.Unfortunately We as Canadian pilots do not have a unified voice I thought HEPAC would be that voice but when the time came they were silent.So back to HAC we go because HEPAC is not the answer.

Icewind Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 I am very interested in what Jen has to say. I encourage her to continue to canvas wherever there are interested heli types. I have been a pilot since 1980. I am not a company owner or in air carrier management. And I have a vote at HAC. And on that, I want to be heard there, And I know that I am heard, when I participate with a positive attitude and bring ideas that contribute. Remember one that thing - that compared to many other similar industries, the helicopter industry has a high proportion of pilots and engineers running things, people who came from the operational side of things. To broaden my point, the HAC convention has delegates/members from not only the air carriers (owners, managers and employees), but the manufacturers, suppliers, insurers, regulators and customers. How many industry associations encourage their customers to be players in where the industry goes???? Show up and ***** and you will get the cold shoulder, show up and help, and you will get a much better reception........... Quote
2007 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Best of luck to you Jen. Any relationship to the VIH Norie family? Quote
Juliet Lima November Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Posted March 11, 2009 Thanks guys, for the encouragement and words of wisdom, greatly appreciated. Nice to know that we're on the same page and pro-active. Looking forward to seeing some of you at the HAC - And yes, "2007", I am part of the VIH Norie family. Quote
