    Part 135 Certification

    Thanks for the info. Getting certificate itself isn't the main concern. I have written manuals before for the FAA and I understand the process. So, what you are saying is that it is better to manage someone elses acft than to risk not having enough business for my own...interesting. I have heard...

    Part 135 Certification

    I am looking for someone to contact regarding setup of a 135 certificate. Specifically I and some fellow pilots are seriously considering this route and I need to cover some issues like: - How did you research your market? - Aircraft financing - Working with Sentient or fractional...

    Mistakes because of Fuel Savings?

    Fuel savings are somewhat misunderstood by your Captain. It isn't worth the added risk of a rush job just to save some minor coin that you won't see anyway. If you want to save money, load near the aft CG and commit to regular reduced thrust takeoffs. This will save more in fuel and engine...

    Virgin Turbulence

    Gorilla is right...customers today are looking at the cheapest fair and not at the name of the company. I remember one snow event in the northeast where many flights were cancelled and the local news team was there. they interviewed a guy that had purchased an IAD to MCO fair for $129 ( I don't...

    Virgin Turbulence

    Sort of true. IDE did have about $300 mil except that there were over 100 aircraft on day one. Significantly more assets to pay for and maintain than any start-up beginning like JB or VA. With little assets to pay for and maintain, even $50 mil will be more usable than IDE's $300 mil.

    Continental loses captain over colleague's alcohol allegation

    I agree with freightmaster. Showing up drunk on my flight puts my certificate and career in jeopardy as well. If you don't care enough about yourself, care enough about the other guy to call in sick and get the help you need. If you come to my acft drunk willing to take the controls and put my...

    Virgin America is here

    Not Bad! NetJets is an good company with decent benefits. I have irons in the fire other places but for the summer it looks like NJA. Mike

    Virgin America is here

    I am not sure of the Checkairman pay but CPT is $115.00 to start. I do not have a scale to reference for subsequent years. I think there is stock for the first 100.

    Foreign Control: When did this happen?

    Back in the early "90s, Continental was 25% owned by SAS...nobody complained about that nor mentioned any worries about foreign control. The argument that the industry needs additional investment capital to fix everything is absolute BS. There is more investment in the aviation industry then...

    Virgin America is here

    A close freind of mine was Virgin America's first pilot/checkairman hire. They currently have eight acft with another delivery next month. Proving runs will begin when the process looks good to the DOT. Pilot hiring will hopefully begin within 30-60 days. Yes, Richard Branson is a foreigner. I...

    Paper logbook required to interview?

    Electronic or paper...it shouldn't matter. According to the FAR's they only need be accurate. I started logging by the month after I hit the 7-8000 hr mark. You only need to log per flight if you are seeking an additional rating (Instrument, ATP, etc.) and the time needs to be broken down. Use...

    Falcon 2000 Study/Gouge

    PM me and I'll send you the NetJets study material for SOP's. Mike

    Logbooks

    After I hit the 5000 hour mark I started logging it monthly. Per FAR's you only need to be specific with regard to acft type and x-country time if you are going for an additional certificate requiring the time noted in detail. Let's face it, how many LGA, EWR, SFO and ORD flights can you list...

    Applied for Virgin America?

    I was interviewed along with some friends of mine that were initial cadre at Independence Air. One of us was offered the first position, the rest of us (three in all) have been told to expect a call when certification is imminent. Nice people, cool CP and DO, no issues I'm aware of. Pay is...

    Lost medical then job. Need input.

    I feel your pain, brother! I had a heart attack at 40 and lost my medical for nine months...that was in '04. Then my company shut down and I just got on with NetJets in April. I made it and so will you. I think CS would work for you if you don't want to commute but don't count out NJ. One of...

    3 Of The Biggest Lies In Aviation

    After 12,000 hours I agree with you wholeheartedly. Consider this...when you go to your fist job interview do you really think that the employer cares whether you were trained under 141 or 61? I have never even heard of it being asked. The certificate issued makes no reference to part 61 or...

    Netjets temp since the Contract

    I can't believe I called it the Falcon 200. I corrected it. Thanks for your replies. I look forward to working with you. Beer me!

    Netjets temp since the Contract

    :cool: Anyone here fly the Falcon 2000? I was wondering as I am scheduled for an April 3 class and I am interested in the QOL. I am comming from the 121 scheduled world...forgive me, please. From what I have read I am going to enjoy the change. You all seem like a great pilot group. See you...

    Is flying an airliner easy?

    Like anything else, it's easy once you learn how. The issue is the types of flying environments you will be flying into. Going into a non-controlled airport on a nice, sunny day is much less challenging than Laguardia during a snowstorm and CAT 1 approach minimums. Throw in a sick FO and loss of...
