Furlouged CRJ driver? Avionco is looking for a few good pilots
 

I got lots of PM's from folks who want to work, and keep on flying the CRJ.

Avionco is actively looking to get folks hired flying the CRJ in the middle east. I just got a call from Bill Dodd of Avionco (in Calgary, Alberta, Canada), and he has been calling other folks who want to work in the middle east flying the CRJ-700NG. Brand new planes.

Give 'em a call.

403-693-0080

I get a HUGE royalty for each call that is 1000 times my current SkyWest salary. Call him if you're serious, and need some adventure. Make me rich with your calls.

Again, for the -700. You should have already flown that plane, and completed the differences training.

Allah Akbar

are those RJ's sittin on DUBS?? or at least have bullet proff windscreens for when they shoot at you.

so are we just suppose to call that number, ask for Bill Dodd, and tell him that Tony Williams told us to call??

+1
And are they looking for a minimum hour requirement????

Guys and gals.... call and offer your service if you want to work in the CRJ in the middle east. There isn't a minimum hour limit that I'm aware of, BUT ASK THEM !!!

CRJ-700/900 rated (that means differences training complete).

You can tell them you heard if from me, or not. Seriously. I don't really get anything out of it other than helping a few furloughed guys getting a job.

I got a PM from a guy that said they didn't have a BILL Dodd. Only XXX Dodd and YYY Dodd. I'm pretty sure it was Bill, but why split hairs?

Again, if you want to work, and you're qualified, call AVIONCO and offer your service. I doubt it matters who you're talking to.

Bin Laden was from Yemen......, what more incentive is there for some one from the U.S to actually get a job there? It's just an RJ.

Yemen

Yemen attack kills guard, injures 13 girls - Mideast/N. Africa

The gunman, armed with a Kalashnikov rifle, claimed he wanted to kill Americans.

SAFETY AND SECURITY: The Department of State is concerned that al-Qa‘ida and its affiliates are actively engaged in extremist-related activities in Yemen and the Arabian Peninsula. The Department remains concerned about possible attacks by extremist individuals or groups against U.S. citizens, facilities, businesses and perceived interests.

He was born in Riyadh, not Yemen.

I thought Bin Laden was from Denver?

It is probally the safest jobs out there. They wouldnt crash there own plane.

I found 3 laden's but no bin laden in denver. bummer. The hunt continues.

Tony, are you really going to spend 6 weeks away from home at a time? There is no airplane/ airline thats worth that! If so, I whish you and your family the best of luck.

Anyone considering doing business with Avionco should read what other pilots have been through on PPrune. Nothing but seriously negative input from people who worked in the past with them.

I'm certainly not doing anything just for an airplane/airline. I guess I can always work at the Quickie Mart. Otherwise, yes, I do plan to do this for the short term. I actually kinda like a little adventure, and this is definitely that and more!!! Pay is better than ANY regional in the US.

It ain't all bad. Heck, I want to see Nairobi, Cairo, and Dubai. I might not otherwise get around to it in this lifetime. And like any pilot job, if you seriously don't like it, quit.

If I go to Quickie Mart, and wait years for the US airline business to turn around, what would I tell them then ? Haven't flown in X years, and when I stopped, I was fired. Probably not a big seller.

You're thinking of the worst case scenario, you're not the only one who has gone through a job loss. Things will pick up, especially after the election. It seems like you have already given up on U.S aviation. You don't have to pack your bags, say goodby to your family 1-2 months at a time, and go to a place that harbors terrorism. If your family background is middle eastern that's fine but if you're some joe from Denver, good luck, enjoy the compound.

that doesn't even make sense considering ... they blow themselves up to kill others ... why would they stop at crashing their own planes? Especially if an American is flying them...

My girlfriend has been in Yemen for the last 6 months and says she has never once felt threatened. Is it as safe as America? No. But implying that everyone in the Middle East is an extremist who wants to kill Americans is ridiculous. It's like saying everyone in America is a neo-nazi who wants to kill Black people. She has made lots of friends with the locals and they all say they wish more Americans would come to the Middle East and see the majority love America.

If your views are based off your persoanl experiences then I could be wrong, but I'm guessing your basing it off of sensationalized media reports.

Good point

"They." "They." "They." "They."

I'm glad the world is just made up of a few homogeneous groups of "they." Makes it easy on my head when I try to think about things.

I have never seen such a large group of xenophobic people in all my life.

Besides, to quote Sir Winston Churchill: "Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result." ;)

[quote=Purpleanga;489857]Bin Laden was from Yemen......, quote]


Isn't he from Saudi Arabia?

[quote=pagey;490877]Yes, you're correct. He was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

His family is from Yemen.

[quote=BobSakamano;490882]Make up your mind. Why not just say. "Yes, I was wrong"? Because no one cares about his where his family is from.

I wonder how many folks were gunned down in the good ole US of A today... or yesterday... or will be tomorrow? (reference all the fear mongering of Yemen).

uh??????????

What a xenophobic bunch here at APC, sure Yemen might not be good for everybody, but how many people woke up dead in Detroit today? or LA, or Chicago, etc. There is a lot of violence in the US.

If you don't feel like working in Yemen then simply state that, but stop the xenophobic nonsense here

A good friend of mine went to work for that company and he was gone within six months, not because he was afraid of the violence but because he was plain lied to. There are many horror stories about this contract, enter at your own risk (to the company, not Yemen) :(

People in his immediate family also lived/live here...so does that mean that the US is a dangerous place for Americans, and everyone here is an anti-American? Man I'm confused!!!

The history of the Wahabbis, Saudi, and Bin Laden is way too complicated for you to even comment on or comprehend, especially if you're afraid of taking a job in a country because a terrorist's extended family members live there.

So are you afraid of taking a job in Oklahoma? I hear Timothy McVeigh's family still lives there. Are you afraid of living in Long Island? There were a few of Hitler's cousins living there until they passed away recently...must be full of Nazi's in that neighborhood!!!
