    Very cool information Skier. Thanks, man!

    Kalitta Furlough

    I'm offering because, in a little while, I won't be able to do much to help guys out. I'm fixing to leave this to take a job at a regional or Falcon 20 operator and try to get some kind of turbojet experience. Turns out my experience in the third world and flying freight isn't worth much to...

    Kalitta Furlough

    My company is hiring. It's a sh-tty lifestyle, but it pays the bills. We're WAAY short on pilots. If any of your freight dudes have a clearance, I'd be happy to help you get on flying King Airs in the Middle East. I can't promise a job offer, but I'd be happy to walk in resumes, etc. for any...

    SurfAir Info

    Good luck with the new company, JetpilotCA! Getting manuals approved and a project like this off the ground is more than a little bit of work. If your company makes it, it will be a really nice addition to the aviation scene in California. Are you getting a lot of customer interest in the...

    Travel Management-Elkhart IN. ????

    Thanks for the heads-up, Lou. It is going on three weeks or so now, so I was kinda wondering. I think I may send the guy an email before I go back overseas.

    Travel Management-Elkhart IN. ????

    Their chief pilot emailed me an application for TMC along with some articles about them from a flying magazine. I filled it out and faxed it back in, but I haven't heard anything since. Is there usually much of a time gap between when people get initial contact to fill out an application and...

    Lost/Stolen Aircraft Operating Manual......

    If you need to ferry the plane, just to get some work done before you export it, you can get a ferry permit. If a guy is making money flipping Lears, which is cool, he can afford to get a new manual sent down from the manufacturer. It's not cheap to do so, though. Also, if you wind up...

    Sign of the coming hiring boom

    Yeah. I really can't complain too much. Worst case scenario: I deal with year one and two pay at some regional and ride up the seniority list. I still have 30 years of career ahead of me. You never know what next week holds, anyway. I've made it this far without being laid-off, furloughed...

    L-3 Flight International?

    L3 Flight International runs red-force stuff and tows targets from Lears. L3 has been very good to me, but I'm not in Flight International's division. On the whole, I'd recommend it to folks who can get in. I hear that division is looking mostly for former fighter pilots and navy guys. That...

    Question about PIC time for 119.71

    Agreed. You'll be okay.

    Sign of the coming hiring boom

    Speaking of which, I'm looking to pay some more of my dues. I've got about 8300hrs, 6000 turbine PIC. I also have a number of years of international experience. So far, in the US, the only people I can get to touch me are regional airlines. Now I discover I can't get anywhere without...

    Decathlon or Citabria?

    For my two cents, I'd look at 'em on an airframe by airframe basis. A well maintained Citabria is better than a beat-up Decathlon and vice versa. Citabrias, even with wood spars, are reliable. They're usually 15-20k cheaper to purchase than Decathlons too. That's a lot less for insurance...

    CitationShares laying off another 40 pilots

    I talked to a 50ish Kalitta 2 (not CS, obviously) pilot who lost one house to foreclosure, bought another house south of DTW and is losing that to eminent domain at a huge loss. He's f-cked after doing his best. My point is that the old guys have swallowed their share of sh-t. As a 30 year...

    Cargo Flying in Africa

    It's actually worth a little typing to metion some hazards associated with non-DoD, DoS, UN, staffing agency work. This isn't going to apply to a guy going over to fly a DC-9 on contract, someone working for Shell Oil or Julius Berger, or someone flying ISR. This will be more pertinent to...

    Tool sighting

    I strip naked after every flight, so nobody thinks I'm lame. Of course, the hotel van driver makes me sit on saran wrap, and my piercings wierd everyone out when we all get a bite to eat. Still, nobody can say I wear my uniform off airport.

    Personal Jet, Low Flying LearJet, Thanks Guys!

    You can fly GENTLE aerobatics in anything and not hurt the airframe or engines (you may or may not be able to avoid hurting avionics, depending on your equipment). You can even take a turbocahrged, multi-engine recip and, with adequate planning, do a routine without shock-cooling, beating on...

    Which Type Rating

    What underpants said. The same thing applies to corporate/smaller stuff too.

    Overseas jobs

    You need to get your time up a little more before you go over.
