Re: What Do You Do for Work/Job? I used to work for Nothern too, usually installing crossbar offices into new buildings but I also worked on several upgrades from step by step to crossbar. Worked on the first Touch Tone install, and was lent to R & D for a project that got scrapped when the countries the equipment was being sold to went to war with each other. That's a long time ago & phones sure have changed since then. |

Re: What Do You Do for Work/Job? Shortly after high school I went to work for Northern Electric and yes it ended being Nortel....... lucky that my department was sold to Bell a few years before it went out. I enjoyed the type of work installing and testing phone switching equipment ready to be used by the customer in eastern Canada from Toronto to St John’s NL. Also went for about 3 years in the Caribbean Islands and sometime in the US. What I also enjoyed from Spring to Fall. I always had one or two planes with me so that I could fly on the weekends away from home in many different locations where I made many friends especially in Ottawa, Belleville, Kingston, Montreal, Quebec and of course in the Atlantic zone. That is thank you for MAAC being a great organization that you can fly wherever there is a club and also being welcomed to fly wherever I went. Retired for 8 years and still flying. R Landry |

Re: What Do You Do for Work/Job? Paramedic. Started out as a firefighter/paramedic (Florida) then transitioned to flight paramedic (Florida/Nunavut/Ontario) with paramedic education & administration (Ontario/Manitoba) thrown in. Then back to land as a paramedic (Ontario). I've also dabbled as a correctional officer/youth officer (Nunavut) and small business owner... Once I decide what I want to do when I grow up; I'll be sure to let everyone here know first! |

Re: What Do You Do for Work/Job? Retired Airline pilot, started out 39 years ago flying for Nordair out of Montreal after numerous mergers we ended up as Canadian Airlines International. Than in 2000 we merged with Air Canada. I retired in 2009 from Air Canada as Captain on the small Airbuses ( A319, A320, A321). Had a great career, always loved flying, never considered it work. It's too bad they put us out to pasture at 60. I do miss it a lot. Alex

Re: What Do You Do for Work/Job? Offset printing pressman, apprenticed two years with a very small company in Brampton. Finished apprenticeship in Toronto with a major newspaper and stayed for twenty years. Moved out the city to go north. Became employed with a small but growing pharmaceutical packaging company as a pressman again. Became interested in the hobby by meeting the best flying buddy ever "newshoundaussie" while working in Toronto. |
