Ice Pilots NWT
A Big Deal
S1 E4:
To move up from 'rampie' to co-pilot at Buffalo, you first need to become a flight attendant. And Jeremy is determined to make it onto the next course and beat co-worker Audrey into the co-pilot's seat. But first he has to find a way to ensure his Delhi-born protégé, the underweight and homesick Raman, can stick it out in Hay River alone. When a power failure leaves Rankin Inlet exposed to the brutal northern elements, DC-4 captain Justin must pull out the stops to try to get two massive generators up to the remote community before sundown. And when the recession nips at Buffalo Joe's heels, he organizes a $7-million sale of two Canadair CL-215 waterbombers to the Turkish government. A delegation arrives to seal the deal. With so much money on the line, will the contract close or will eccentric Joe say something to screw it up, as his son Mikey fears?
