Good luck with that. 3K+ hour captains on PC-12s generally don’t hang around in Canada for 70-80K USD…

That was my salary range in 2013-2019, and I was not flying an aircraft in the north. They will certainly need to up that wage.

They won’t. They’ve been chronically understaffed for a very long time. I spoke with both their PC-12 pilots and their C206 pilots…those that have stayed are closer to retirement and just want to finish off an RCMP pension. They’re not thrilled with things, but they don’t have the energy to head to the states and pull in $200-250k CAD.

I flew in a Pilatus RCMP plane - very cool plane.

I ran some of their training, the non flying portion, in 2016 (I believe that was the year we transitioned them to the armed) I recall the candidates I spoke with weren’t super pleased with the direction of the program. I don’t know if that culture change ever really took.

they get some allowances, the guys I work with often seem like they like their jobs- but really the expectations on them are constantly drifting and there is some uncertainty around their future and they constantly need more planes and always seem to have less.

I once landed blacked out in a serious cross wind, so much that we basically landed sideways with me looking down the runway out the side window, into a tiny blacked out airport while a local shot at the plane. It’s not a retirement gig in some places.

One of my Hovercraft Captains, beside being a Master Mariner, had also been a airline pilot and flew bushplanes in New Guinea. This popped up in my feed and thought you might enjoy it.
