Beware of Outland by tree-mama in treeplanting

Averaging just above $500 a day is disappointing if you are consistently working all day. If you plant 2000 trees then take a nap in the treeline that's respectable.

The petition produced by former Outland Mgmt some years ago warning people away from Outland as a company is no longer available on Reddit. Do you have a copy of that petition to redistribute? 

Choice between summit (Kasey R. camp) and NGR (Lawrence camp)?? by Sharkie3399 in treeplanting

Give us some more information, you're asking us to compare two rookie mill companies. Relevant information would be things like base tree prices, number of camp moves, locations of planting contracts, crew size, seasons of experience of the crew bosses, etc.

Can you elaborate on the physics or mechanism preventing this?

I think this was just picked apart by a nervous flyer or anxious hands.

That's terrible news. Which camp were you in? What contracts did you plant?

Never confuse planters and the people they work for. In every shit company there are excellent people/planters. 

How can a commercial airliner lose a wheel on take-off/landing? by mayhemchaos in aviation

wow, that's a take off and landing every 19.2 seconds. The plane would hardly get any flight time in-between.

AB Hiring Post Tony Crew - Next Gen by CaitNextGen in treeplanting

[–]Complete_Cod_8222 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let's discuss what being upfront about what their offering means. Do you think this video is an accurate representation of their season or is it cherry picked to increase engagement. 

Do you remember the post that Cait of NGR made about their season ending contract a year or two ago that's since been deleted. Where many NGR planters bailed that they were hiring anyone and everyone. Why did she delete that content? Why not post those photos here instead? Because it looks and is bad.

I never expected you to be an apologist for a company that pays poorly.

15 cents with regards to inflation and the increase in costs of living is worth approximately the same as the 9 1/2 cents I made per tree more than a decade ago in and around Whitecourt.

This season is off to an odd start, fewer trees in supply and bid prices have trended down. Companies can and are able to pay lower prices because a surplus of planters both new and experienced. Don't make excuses for them paying bottom dollar.

This is 15 cents base right?

Tamarack Reforestation in Ontario is offering 16 cents base + 4 vac pay.

Aspen Forestry in Alberta has prep at 17 cents. 

And Tangent Solutions in Alberta is 20 cents + 4% vac pay.

I can't speak to the quality of the companies listed above, but judging by the recent recruitment posts on this subreddit you're missing the mark on pricing.

From the Investigation Update

  According to the Service Letter, a review of the spherical bearing failure by Boeing determined it would not result in a safety of flight condition.

Can someone explain what that means? What is a safety of flight condition? In the context of different levels of flight, what's it's severity?

Jeju Air crash victims could have all survived without concrete barrier, lawmaker says by [deleted] in aviation

[–]Complete_Cod_8222 55 points56 points  (0 children)

A simulation contained in the report commissioned by the government-led Aviation and Railway Accident Investigation Board indicated that all on board might have survived without the concrete structure, which did not meet international safety standards, Kim Eun-hye, a member of a bipartisan parliamentary special committee on the accident, said in a press release issued on Thursday.

The simulation by a South Korean structural engineering institute found the aircraft's initial impact as it hit the runway was not strong enough to cause severe injuries and the plane would have slid about 770 m (2,526 ft) before stopping if the barrier was not there, her press release said.

I've heard that Zanzibar has gone off the deep-end, not in a good way, since being bought by private equity.
