Default Greetings from a Newbie from Up North!

Hey Guys,
Long time lurker, finally joined up. Name's Matt, I am 19, From Canada. I hold a PPL-A, and a CPL-H, and am currently in a Fast Track Program for a (9 months instead of 2 years) Diploma in Business Admin Program (Will finish in April) as well as completing my CPL-A and my Flight Instructor Rating in the same time as well . My aviation "history" started when I was 15, and 16 when I got my first job since then I have done Flight Following/Dispatch and Ground Crew work for a local helicopter company, my first flying job was on the Bell 214 helicopter as a co-pilot. After I finish my Diploma Program in April I will be returning to my co-pilot heli job as well as airplane flight instructing on my weeks off.

Just wanted to say Hello to ya'll!

Matt

Thanks.

Rocket: At the flight school I was at, Keep in mind its in CDN Prices, R22 was $450 an hour, R44 was $670 an hour, and Bell 206 was $950 an hour. I'm lucky and don't have any debt.- Gotta love parents!
