LR31a Captain needed

[leenick]

If you need a job and like to fly about 400 plus hrs a year, you might want to call David the C/P about this position located in KPIE---don't quote me, but I believe it starts at 55K. 1-508-335-6971----HAPPY FLYING!

Thats's about $15K too low. But someone will jump all over it. There's an asss for every seat, always is.

 

[leenick]

Too Low!!

You are right, but, as you say, there is an ass for every seat and that is why I posted it, because there is a lot of ass's out there. I hope they don't find anyone willing to take it, and from what I hear, they are having a hard time finding anyone.

It's all about the money, YOU PAY FOR YOUR TRAINING and WE will give you chump change and all the abuse you can stand-----but you will be flying a JET!!

that little pay AND you pay the 12K+ for FSI... so really that's about a 43K a year job... hmm must be a gem of a place. I think I'll pass.:smash:

 

[leenick]

I'll pass!

I see my message is getting across, and I am glad it is, maybe we will see a change in the future. I for one, have never PAID for job training and I never will, but there are those who will, and as long as that happens, we will always be faced with low paying jobs in this profession.
As an example, that company had a Captain leave to go fly a B-747 as an FO and make less money. For what--to go fly all over the world and never be home--but in his eyes, he is LIVING THE DREAM!!

And the BIG Wheel keeps on turning.

I work for Money. I don't work for contracts or promisary notes on training. I do understand that your should never under-estimate another pilots ability to take a bad job.

But, I am sure he is not 'living a dream' at this new job. He is trying to get ahead. To which everyone else is doing the same. And, they will kill you and walk over your dead body to take these jobs too boot.

What a wonderful career we have to work in these days.

Personally I am ashamed of all the people that take these jobs.

The good news is that I don't have to work with re-tards anymore. I got my monies worth on education. I can work in another field and earn some green before I die. Heck I can even afford to buy myself an airplane and fly when I feel like it. And, not when someone tells me too.

Oh yeah, I am not taking shots at you. Just posting on the job you posted. Sorry I had to quote ya'.

I did the same thing in order to fly a heavy. Horrible pay, lousy schedule(away for 18+ days at a time) and some crummy layovers. But I did it to improve my resume for the big boys. Heavy time is hard to come by unless you have good connections, which I did not. Looking foward to getting to the next and final level. Not living the dream but trying to get there one step at a time.

Living the Dream!

Yea stupidpilot, I know how it is in this industry---one step at a time, and by the time you are in your mid 30's or early 40's you may get the break you slaved for over the past 10 to 15 years.
The person I refered to in my previous tread, was already typed in the B-757 and had flown for an airline and was in his mid thirtys. You know how it is, you put in the years to get the experience and then you become over qualified or the industry goes into a slump and the next thing you know, your in your mid forty's with a wife, two kids, and a dog stuck in some fly by night operation.
It's a great life though, beats working for a living, and I for one have experienced the aformentioned.
If you love flying, stick with and GOOD LUCK in the future.

I for one will go back to driving a truck before I PFT. If someone wants to hire my experience, they can also pay for my schooling to fly their new toy. Its not just what I've flown over the years, its how I've survived it all that makes me worth my salary.

Good luck to those of you willing to sacrifice your worth in order to be "Living the Dream". Are you willing to fly a 747 for pennies per hour? I'd sooner fly a C150 on traffic watch for a six-figure salary (and be home every night) than sit in a 747, never seeing home, just to say I'm a 747 pilot! What horsedump!

Oh yes, btw, I'm in my mid-40's and I have a wife and two very young children. If ever my current corp job gets to be too much time away from home, I'll take a paycut and go to work for Yellow Freight Lines driving a line-truck on a Teamster contract. It would be worth it. Still think I could make a few bucks on the side doing contract work, however.

Jealous? Hmmm, Amsterdam or Hong Kong layover versus Million Air sofa recliner in Flint, Michigan and being on call 24/7. I think I will take a set days off schedule thanks.

I advise you post on a message board consistant with your new career whatever the heck that is. Save the bitching for those who are best at it. . .dedicated career pilots.
