Over-Talk Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 I heard Joe Cadham was starting a new school. Maybe it's him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canrotor Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 Another new helicopter school opening.....!!??...oh yea,i forgot about the huge "SHORTAGE" of helicopter pilots.....but on the other hand,most schools seem to be busy,some with a short waiting list to start training.....HMMMMMMM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainingwheels Posted November 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 I was under the impression that schools might limit the number of ab-initio students per year. Thus giving ample opportunities to newly licenced pilots. However, from a business perspective how do you say no to $50k. This is the most expensive pre-employment program I've heard of.

412driver Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 does every graduate from UBC or Simon Fraser or any other school get a guaranteed job when they finish school? what right is it of anyone to limit the amount of people who chase their dream?

cyclic monkey Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 Hi T'Wheels, that was a funny one fella'.....I almost fell outta' my tree laughing so hard. "limit the number of students....." HA HA HA HA Who will decide which students get to train and which ones don't ?? Maybe just double the rates.....that would weed out a few characters. That should also double the flight pay of the instructors too. Whaddaya think 412 Driver ?? Don't worry T'Wheels there will always be lots of schools to teach you new guys to fly, it'll just be harder to get that elusive first job. Maybe McDonalds will limit the number of burgers they sell because people are getting too fat... "....giving ample opportunities to newly licenced pilots..." really funny stuff T'wheels, thanks alot.

412driver Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 CM, i would never say no to a 100% wage increase :up: limit students eh? let's see, how should we do this............... maybe allow men only??? or how about weeding out the purple people???? we all know purple people can't fly oh, CM, hope you don't mind, i printed out your coupon to take to MickyDees, i want a better deal!!!!!!!!!

Ryan M Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 The only bad thing about that is the cost, at least $10,000 - $20,000 on university plus the cost of heli training. Ouch. Right now all I'm doing is saving for my heli training (basicly starting another career in banking to do it), about $15,000 so far, but thats not nearly enough.

Batfink Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Wow only $10,000 to $20,000 for a university degree... I'll buy one right now... It's up to about $5,000 per semester now... Not quite as much as a CPL, but the lots of chicks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
