blues deville Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 ...into a job in aviation? Quebec’s Nolinor are flying potential candidates to YMX. I’m guessing it’s a recent or soon to be graduating class from Eduard Monpetite aviation maintenance college at St. Hubert. A good time to hold any kind of aircraft maintenance license. https://montrealgazette.com/business/local-business/aerospace/all-aboard-nolinor-woos-job-seekers-with-free-flights?utm_source=skies-daily-news-news-from-the-web&utm_campaign=skies-daily-news&utm_medium=email&utm_term=news-news-from-the-web&utm_content=V1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 posted earlier in AME forum: https://theairlinewebsite.com/topic/515209-ame-looking-for-work-airline-looking-for-ames-and-will-fly-you-to-your-interview/ Besides the aircraft mechanic positions, Nolinor wants to fill dozens of ground and administrative jobs that haven’t even been advertised yet, Prud’homme said. Wages for mechanics fresh out of school start at about $18.50 an hour, plus benefits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Foxtrot Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 If it takes you fifteen years to get to the top of the Wage scale, go somewhere else. Or preferably chose a different trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blues deville Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 I think Nolinor is on the right track to hire people but you’ve got to “show me the money”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can’t improve the pay scale as people progress they’d better install a revolving door at their hangar entrance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blues deville Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) More jobs available for those qualified and even those who are not yet. It’s possible airplanes will be parked because there’s no one to sign them out. Forget about a pilot shortage. The northern operators in Canada are going to have a hard time competing for future talent. A -50c engine change near a snow bank or a nice warm hangar in major Canadian city? “For our entry level roles we provide on-the-job training that allows you to work towards a certification,” said Unen. “If you have a great attitude and are ready to learn and grow with us, we’d love to hear from you.” Full story: https://www.skiesmag.com/press-releases/kf-aerospace-opens-its-doors-across-canada-for-expansion-career-fairs/?utm_source=skies-daily-news-todays-news&utm_campaign=skies-daily-news&utm_medium=email&utm_term=todays-news&utm_content=V1 Edited September 10, 2019 by blues deville Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boestar Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Aircraft maintenance has been very good to me. I.T. has been better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Foxtrot Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Fourteen or Fifteen years to the top of the pay scale? Take my advice, do something else. The right to free bargaining has been removed from aviation. Do yourself a favor and stay away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
