Just spoke to someone over there and this is what I was told. The pay is salary, and is just of $40,000/yr for dc9 FO and only around $10,000 more per year as CA. Also, there is no payscale, and no raises.
Thanks for the reply. Is it mostly Ad Hoc with a lot of sitting around in hotels?
I was told that the days off are broken up and sporadic, so you really don't have ability to plan anything in your personal life, is that accurate?
Several years ago I was doing a 727 repositioning flight (20 minutes flying time). We also had a DC8 crew and a mechanic from another freight airline jumpseat with us, so the cockpit and courier seats were all occupied.
During taxi, I started to feel the pressure, then the rumble. I knew...
Ameristar apparently is still looking for DC9 cargo pilots, pt 121. They say you must live in the Dallas Ft. Worth area.
Does anybody on here know what the schedule is each month?
Do you bid for your schedule?
How is the insurance?
Do they hire directly into the left seat of the dc9?
If you...
Good post Xspud. I think the hiring will be a little more aggressive.
I think next month when the age 65 anniversary comes around, there will be retirements not just at the ATSG airlines, but at all airlines across the board. Also, the majors and legacy's will start hiring at a rate we...

I have an electronic logbook on my IPhone, so it must be powered on in order to enter times. Before takeoff, simply disable any signal transmission (put phone in airplane mode) and don't worry about it. (obviously make sure it's off if you have a...
Yokes are not outdated; real planes have yokes.
Keep on riding around in your Airbus. Pretty soon airbus will design a pilotless cockpit and guess what, you'll be forced to use a yoke again when you transition back to a Boeing.
Ok, sorry, here's another logging question.
I'm an airline captain with plenty of time, but looking for a better job, so need to get my logbook as accurate as possible.
I do have approximately 20 "gate turnbacks", accumulating to approx 10-15 hours of total time. Sure, we're only talking...
Not true

I have it on my Macbook pro, and also my Iphone. The Iphone app takes the place of the "little red book" that you record your individual trips on.
Rest assured that there are no more math errors. It even determines what your Night and Day hours are and logs it accordingly. Very smart...
Powderfinger,
Great find! I did a pirate bay search on my own a while back for 757 stuff. I guess I missed Jet Jock Linux.
I'm on about 75% now, as only one person seems to be seeding it.
So once it's finished downloading, do I simply open it up to my desktop and run it from there, or do...
