Anyone know of a job that a low time pilot could apply for? I have 300TT with 75 hrs multi, was looking for a job. If anyone knows of place that will hire low time pilots let me know. thanks
 
Your best bet is one of the regionals hiring with your kind of time unfortanately. If you can find one based where you live you will be better off!Get your time up and you will have more options in the future, this is probably the quickest way of building total and turbine time.
 
TSA
PSA
Mesa
 
Air Net SIC program.
 
So what if thei rmins are 500 hours, apply anyway, if you are really cool and quailifed they will waive that. It is sellers markets out there for pilot skills. We just hired a 225 hr guy.

Who is "we?"
also, a little more about this SIC deal at airnet. Is it a legit way to build your time, or are you gonna get a lot of questions when trying to move on to other things? They say you have a 1 year agreement once you become PIC, so technically, if it takes you a year to build your time to PIC mins, then one year after that, you are stuck there for two years?
Thanks
 
The AirNet program is an FAA apporaved prgram to legally log SIC hours in a non-typed airplane. We is USA Jet Airlines. BTW what is there about being stuck when you don't have the time to anyplace else?
 
thanks for the info.. I wasn't meaning stuck in a bad way.. kinda reads wrong I guess.. I was trying to say, if you do that SIC prgram, are you are responsible to stay after that for one year? If it is a legal way to build your time, you couldn't just build up your total time and multi and then head to a regional if that is what someone wanted to do?
 
They got to cover costs, pilot training is expensive, you have to expect a reasonalbe return.
 
I worked at Airnet and flew one of the highest time runs. Most of the time I had SIC's flying with me and we would fly 8-9 hours a day 5 days a week. It didn't take long to rack up the time for a PIC slot. Also, if your concern is whether it is a legitimate program, let me tell you it is very legit and Airnet is a very reputable company. I'd put your stuff in. Craig Washka is the man who does hiring and he likes people who really are eager and want to be there. Good luck!

you will have to sign a training contract that becomes effective after you become a PIC. The planes are very well maintained (when you interview they will show you the huge parts inventory). Expect to make no less than 24,000 a year. As an SIC you will push 100 hours a month of Baron time, probably in MKE or BHM.
 
Tow some banners

I would suggest a season towing some banners. You will make substantially more than the guys in the regionals. At least with a few companies out there. You will build fast hours and learn some valuable lessons. Flying low and slow over beaches keeps you on your toes. And its a great way to see the country.

That's the biggest lie in the industry. Pilot training is not expensive in a piston single, nor a light twin. Heck, even most training in a jet is usually cheaper than a company car like thousands of non-aviation companies provide their employees free of charge.

Airnet might spend $2000 of it's money training you, probably less. Only in aviation will you find companies that don't want to pay for the required training of their employees.

Don't give us that excuse. Aviation management is notoriously bad throughout the industry. If you can find a good company with good management, stay there. It's a goddamn epidemic.

It's called greed!! It's whats killing our once great nation. I would hate to be in the trucking industry right now! Dam Illegal Immigrants & Mexican Trucking Co's..... They infiltrating the docks also.
