Sorry to clutter the board for my personal comm, but I am going to have to get a little more aggressive on this networking program.
I know there have to be NAVY folks at NJA that I know, just don't know who they are. If you have a Navy background, particularly recently, would appreciate a PM...
"Pappas school" Citation type -- SOCAL
Reply to my inquiry regarding the "Pappas" Citation school in SOCAL.
Thank you for your recent inquiry regarding our Citation Type Rating School. We offer a comprehensive program, which includes a three-day ground school, cockpit procedural training and...
For anyone else considering Mike Pappas' school, a comment from a local corporate / charter company: "Ony problem with Pappas school is that it is not approved by all Insurance Companies. It might be better to go to Flight Safety in Long Beach, and be trained for specific 135 Certificate,and do...
Paying for Type
So what do you folks that are familiar with Corporate / Charter hiring think of this, for someone that has been offered a job if they "only had a type rating:"
Would a company be willing to sign a contract that says something like: "we'll hire you for $x amount, you (pilot)...
Thanks for all the feedback-- hope it has helped others as well. I'm continually impressed by the helpfulness on this site.
Some comments on your comments:
- "Looking in SW only" I must have misstated, better stated-- I'm not willing to move my family for a job that will just barely pay for...
Looking for currency & hiring discussion.
I have over 5000 hours, Mil and CFI prior to that, most of time is turbine Multi-engine. Unfortunately, military assignment didn't allow me to fly much (<20 hours) last two years. No Type Rating. Is my lack of currency the primary reason I haven't...
I keep hearing rumors that some recently retired military folks are getting type ratings through Fed or State VA unemployment programs. I do not have VA education benefits. Has anyone out there done this? What state if state benefit? Do you have a "disability?"
Thanks!
I'm relatively new to the BizJet world--- what is a Citation "B?" Numbers look sorta like a CE-550 II-- ? I may have opportunity to get rt. seat time, Part 135 check in it, and spend some time riding with owner/pilot til he gets comfortable. I understand it was designed to be single piloted...
I am a mil pilot retiree pursuing the majors, but I am increasingly becoming interested in a corporate pilot position-- not as a stepping stone to the majors, but as a career.
I suspect that there are corporations out there that are willing to pay top dollar for someone that desires to be...
I am wondering if you retired (20 yr +) military pilots are happier with your corporate pilot job--?. Pay could certainly be an issue, but I suspect that there are many corporations out there that are willing to pay top dollar for someone that desires to be part of a company and intends to stay...
I received a response to an email wrt the "100 hr min within last year" -- :
"We are revisiting the issue of requiring the 100 hour minimum. However, it remains in effect for the time being. These mins were determined as a result of our extremely fast upgrade to the left seat for Pilots at...
Retired Act. Duty --> Guard
Anybody going from recently retired to full-time guard? Admittedly, I haven't researched-- any problem with retired pay vs. guard pay? I suspect this would only be an issue with reserves--? I would also suspect that you need to know someone and these jobs are in...
I need to efficiently utilize my time, since military owns most of it at the moment-- at sea. Have applications in, including FDX (my 1st choice). How big of a deal is the FE written? -- worth the time that would be otherwise spent on interview/tech prep and other applications?
Additionally, I...
Anyone know anything about Jet Source in Carlsbad, CA? How many pilots, any hiring? Good company to work for?
Also, is there a web site/source of information on average/specific corporate pilot pay?
Can anyone pls explain what and Id90 is? I think it is a 90% discount for a non-confimed seat. For FEDEX, for example, does family have ID90 benefits? How about parents? Do only some pax airlines accept these? Thanks.
