Fred0311 Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 It seems like there's a lot of fire/utility openings for this late in the season. Do you think we'll see machines grounded for lack of qualified pilots this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam32 Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 Nah, at the end of the day they always find a warm body to fill a seat. The only real issues I've seen is not being able to get checkrides done due to COVID restrictions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred0311 Posted July 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 I haven't seen a problem with that yet except for one company that has an antagonist relationship with the Forest Service and FAA. But some people are definitely missing out on fires. I know a few places still trying to fill seats and one that lost an EU contract over it. It's a good time to know how to long line.
