Great ideas from mar. One thing I did that worked well was to offer a free "week-end warrior" ground school. The students had to buy a written test book, plotter, E6B, flight plans and had to pay for the actual written. I ran an add in the newspaper and had the students enrolled a week in...
2000flyer, great post and info. Remember that knowing someone also helps alot. I was hired to fly a 65 Sabre with "0" turbine time, 100multi and 1700tt. Yeah, "0" turbine. I had been working as a CFI at the same airport and bugged the pilots until I got the job! I am VERY LUCKY. In order...
I was a Southwest Flight Attendant. Had full benefits, 401k, and good money. With the job, I was able to trip trade and could work as little or as much as I needed. It was a cool job and I got to know people at the Co who could help me in the future, I hope!
Great info from everyone. I would add to maybe look at Airman's in Oklahoma City(i think). The prices I have seen there seem pretty good. My story is that I attended a 2 yr Jr college in Altus, Ok after getting my 4 yr degree. The pace was way to slow, so, I went to American Flyers in...
Since you are typed in Lears, maybe go to the training facility you attended. Give them some resumes, and ask about lear jobs in your area. We are a Sabre operator, and went to FSI in STL looking for our last two pilots. It worked well for us, we ended up with two great guys who were already...
Abev107, sounds to me like your plan is pretty good. Have FUN with your flying. Even by "joy-riding", you will be learning. At 10hrs. the learning curve is straight up. It also sounds to me like you are an airplane nut like the rest of us. That is good. When I had students who were nervous...
When we were there, they were having a street festival by the forte. EVERYONE was giving away free mixed drinks made with Bacardi rum. The drinks are very strong! Cool. There was also a lot of eye candy. The women were way hot. Do the Bacardi tour. It was good also. Don't believe the...
Looked up where we stayed. We landed at La Romana airport, and stayed at Casa de Campo. No one said this job would be easy. But, someone had to do it!!
We went to the Dominican Republic about 1 yr ago. It was cool. We stayed at a golfing resort, can't remember the name. We did venture out into the town for about .5 hrs. I have never seen so many people trying to kill themslves on scooters in my life! We knew we were out of the good ole USA.
When I was an SWA FA we had the penguins on for a leg from MDW-MCI. They were well trained and very tame. It was cool. The passengers thought it was great and the penguins walked up and down the isle when the seat belt sign was off. Great PR.
Network, Network, Network! I was working at a small Flt. school when a company moved their 65 Sabre into our hanger. I got to know everyone in the dept, and made sure they knew who I was. When time came, they sent me to FSI for recurrent. (insurance req). I flew PT for about 1.5 yrs. When...
Capt jim, that was very good. My father has "High Flight" on a wooden plaque. It always touches me. God Speed to the crew and my he be with their families.
