Pricing is confidential, of course, but I think you could negotiate that a little better. You might try different centers also (LGB, SAT). In this economy, there is a lot more wiggle room than there has been in the last several years.
I would bet you could get a Cit II type (c500) at FSI for the low teens if you go to a center with an older type sim, such as an older Cit. II. Technically, you can type in an Encore+ and do the diffenrences, and it might be pretty cool, but the II will be a lot different, and will cost you a...
Hate to get back to the original subject, since legalization of marijuana has never been discussied before this groundbreaking thread...
Earlier stories mentioned that RW was in the cockpit, beligerant, and that it was heard over center frequencies. Could it be that the crew just finally got...
Another Adams
Saw the Adams Proof of Concept airplane tucked in the back of a hanger at a museum yesterday. I'd keep an eye out, I'd bet you see some eclipse aircraft on static display soon.
Ultra,
Our POI could be a thread of his own. Close to retirement, etc.
We currently have US and Canada, so do a little bit out of the country, as well as some 91 stuff to Mexico. May have some opportunities to the Caribbean.
Anyone have any recent experience adding Caribbean authorization to their Ops Specs? Our POI was useful in say that it really isn't that hard, but that was about all he knew. The FAA website helped me learn how to spell "Caribbean," but little else was useful. Anyone who had some info would be...
Yeah, if it's a cirrus, I wouldn't do it for less than $150K.
Seriously, any CFI could do the job, and many would for $100 a day. Expect too much, and someone else will get the job. We manage a new C206, CFI gets $25/hr flight time, $60/day, plus expences. I think this is a little low, but...
I have a little different perspective, and since this has been such a friendly discussion, thought I might add it.
It isn't 121 v. 135, it's culture. Just as every major airline has a company culture that a new hire is expected to assimilate to, each corp. flight department/135 operation has...
Just to muddy the waters a little more, my opinion is that the pax only pay for the leg they fly. They are quoted based on where they want to go until where they want to be dropped, plus whatever else you can get away with charging. For example, if you are lucky enough to quote two one ways at...
A bunch on floats out of Campbell River, BC. There was also some wierd mod that put a 400 series Cessna nose and tail on the 18, looked weird, but apparantly they had some handling improvements, as well as the large baggage area in the nose.
No Fear,
I would try one of the freight operators that fly out of SLC. Western Air Express is based out of Boise, but have several runs out of Salt Lake. There are others, but I've been out of the freight world for a while.
The pilot shortage everyone is talking about hasn't hit the good...
Just rent at the resort. You get to try out something different, you don't have to haul them around in the rental car, and if you hit some rocks, they're just rentals. This advise came from one of our better charter customers, it is just easier all the wa around.
We have also been looking at programs for our 5 turbine aircraft 135 operation. FOS was quoted at about $12,000 and is incredible, but may be overkill for our organization (or lack thereof).
There is a free trial of a web based program-

which is fairly new. They have...
Arizona is now on the East Coast. That must have something to do with the Giants stealing one from the Pats.
SLC does things the hard way, but in their defence, they do have a number of unique to the West issues. Besides the the aforementioned terrain, there is also a great deal of military...
The east coast doesn't have very many 9000' peaks within 10 miles of the airport. There are a lot of east coast airplanes on 9000' peaks within 10 miles of the airport.
Our POI (SLC FSDO) told me they have been tied up "talking" to flight crews who have had altitude deviations since the new...
