Brothers,
I need some help identifying the right way to blow my hard-earned contract dough on job boards/websites. Perhaps it's all a waste, I don't know. I need to make myself more visible and (maybe?) "register" with some of these online contract pilot sites like bizjetjobs.com.
Can...
I've got some steady contract work right now but I'm getting some bad vibes from the customer. I'm just another faceless ant in the endless ant colony with the "pilots looking for work" placard on the clear plastic window.
I just completed a recurrent which at least makes me marketable as a...
Fellas, I am not sure how in the hell this happened, but here's my situ.
Got my HS-125 type in June of 2005. Had a 25 hr. SOE at the time of issuance because it was my first type. At the time my training director and I flew the 25 hours and he gave me a signoff. We called the local FSDO and...
Last time I flew a jet was in 2006. I left professional aviation for a time but have plenty of piston time in the interim (light twins.) Now I have a great job lined up -- it's expat -- and I'll have to get current before shipping off. I'm sure I'm rusty. I'll have recurrent and that's it...
Hey everyone,
What's everyone's take on dealing with being sick? I've been with my current company for about two years and I've only missed one trip due to being sick (actually, I didn't even call in sick, but the guy I was flying with tipped off our administrative people. After I found out he...
Spending two days there this week. Int'l Ac-u-Kwik sends mostly negative vibes about leaving the hotel. I think I saw the words "small arms gunfire" and "kidnappings" in the text somewhere. Any recommendations?
Anyone interested in ferrying a C90 from Kansas to, ahem, Bahrain in the Persian Gulf? I have no idea about the particulars, i.e. pay and dates, but I think it's going to happen soon. The contact arranging the details and looking for a pilot is in Bahrain. PM me if you're interested and I'll...
Hey everyone,
I'm looking for a definitive compiled list of all type ratings and the individual aircraft models they correspond to. I realize this is in a (year 2000?) FAA advisory circular, but copying the data out of that format is very tedious. I am working on a little project where I need...
Asking on behalf of a friend. Does anyone have any information about Flightsafety (in Orlando), the required qualifications for instructor pilots, the pay scale, quality of life, and what kind of place it is for a career. Thanks in advance.
Hello all,
I have a line on a job for a Dallas-based construction company which has just purchased a Merlin IV. I don't have all the details but apparently they're offering $80k plus benefits. Time in type isn't necessarily required, but you must "at at least be familiar with the airplane...
Headed for Simuflite (Dallas) for HS125-700 initial training (getting the HS125 type, woo-hoo.) Anyone have any tips, from hotels to restaurants to schedules to studying... got all the Simuflite stuff at my house and have been studying it for about 3 weeks. Lay it on me...
Howdy,
Looking to talk with managers or flight dept dispatchers for "small to medium" size corporate flight departments, or charter operations. Ideally a fleet of 1 to, say, 25 aircraft. This is for research on a personal project, will be absolutely anonymous, and I'm not seeking any...
Forgive & forget if this has already been covered ad nauseum, but I've recently decided to strongly consider SWA as a five-year goal. I'm currently a 2,200 hr. piston pilot with 950 ME and am waiting on a Beechjet job which is in the pocket.
Have gotten some good over-the-phone guidance from...
