What actually is the problem? Since I don`t work for a passenger 121 carrier I don`t know, but I can say this. It seems as if every time I try to get back to Dallas from Detroit, it costs 3 to 4 times as much to travel on the big 3 back home as opposed to other alternatives of air travel. What...
For all you kingair drivers,
I know the B200 and 300 series are pretty much the same except for the different engines and the type for the 300, but are the systems totally different for the 300? Thanks in advance.
Ameristar
Ameristar has both Falcon 20`s, and Lear 24/25 on the 135 side. You will be dual qualified. I do believe we are hiring, but only for the Detroit base. The 737`s are on a 121 certificate, and we just aquired 3 DC-9`s from Reliant which will be on a 125 certificate(i feel sorry for...
Give the guy a break,
His tone? How did you hear tone from his typing? He said those were the requirements, and that is that. It is probably what the insurance needs. As far as there being nobody out there with his requirements, you need to meet some people. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm sure there...
It Matters not
It matters not what background you come from. As long as a pilot meets the requirements it maters not whether he/she comes from 121, 135, or 91. What does matter is WHO YOU KNOW especially in this day and time. I have a buddy who was hired at a major right before the whole hiring...
I'm at Ameristar, and we were hiring strictly for our base in Ypsilanti, Michigan until 9-11. Now we have no plans to hire anyone in the near future. Your time exceeds our minimums, and would have looked good if we were hiring. Fortunately we have not laid anyone off, but it looks like we won't...
I hear people arguing this subject all the time. Some people argue that majors respect 135 jet over 121 turboprop, and others argue the opposite. I know countless captains at various majors and nationals who all say the same thing. "As long as you meet our mins, you are as good as the next man"...
Pros and cons
Well.....you pretty much set me up for this one. The instructors are the pro's and the office folks are the con's. I was one of the lucky ones who survived flying their junk equipment. The place is nothing but a huge rat nest. The reason they moved to florida a couple years back...
As far as whether or not 121 carriers allow 135 guys to jumpseat I can say this. Vangaurd, ATA, and Frontier are taking 135 guys right now. Out of those 3 airlines my company has an agreement with one of them, but all 3 have welcomed myself and other fellow pilots from my company with no prob...
A couple quick questions.
First, if this guy had presidential business in Texas, why was he not traveling with ole George himself in Airforce One.
Second, if he wasn't anywhere near the Pres. and needed transport to do his duties, Aren't there government Lears and Gulfstreams(etc.) which...
I had the oppornunity to jumpseat last friday from MDW to MCI on a 121 national. Although we do have an agreement with them, they never once looked at the list, and all 3 of us with my company were treated as if we worked for that airline. This company is one of those who is supposed to have an...
It certainly helps to have reciprocal agreements with other carriers as far as jumpseating goes, but I have had luck myself without them. I fly for a non scheduled 135 freight company which makes it difficult to gain agreements with other airlines, but there are a few companies out there who...
