    Jumpseating from the US to Bangkok and back

    Once in Thailand, I recommend Thai Air Asia for domestic travel. Price is low, service is great, & they have a good reputation. Most would warn you to stay clear of Orient Thai, for safety concerns. I've used virtually all of 'em & have never had any issues. Ooh... something to think about...

    Southern Air first yr pay...

    W/ the new merger, New Hires are actually now at $67.50/hr for First Officers. APC still has $57/hr listed. I'm not sure if that rate will continue to be offered to future classes or just the ones in place while the transition is taking place. The past couple months I've talked to pilots that...

    Southern Air/Cargo 360 merger

    I know this thread is about a possible merger, but I couldn't find any other current threads with my topic. So... Can I ask some of the Southern guys out there for there opinion of the company? Such things as QOL issues. I realize they do the 20days/mo & I have done similiar work. Does it...

    Best Aircraft for the Job ???

    BirdDog, thanks for some of the numbers on the Shorts. You said it has a Max Fuel of 3800lbs & a useful load of 7500 - 10000. Using the -330 #s, I'm coming up w/ about 3200lbs to do the trip & the balance of 600lbs needed to serve as reserves. That would be a litle less than 1000 gals for the...

    Best Aircraft for the Job ???

    L'PropCapt, the suggestion to checkout Bus. & Comm. Av. sounds like a good idea. I'll try to see if I can find the analysis that U mentioned. ERJFO, the whole economies of scale... I certainly understand. And Yes, that has been a concern of mine since the boss guy's first suggestion of this...

    Best Aircraft for the Job ???

    Hey there. Sorry I have been away for awhile. Thanks for all the great input. I like a couple of the different aircraft suggested. I'm still needing to get down to where I can relate an operating cost to a pound of cargo if at all possible. To start this I feel I need to go for just the one...

    Best Aircraft for the Job ???

    Man, I am so impressed to get so many serious responses so quickly. It is truly appreciated. Thanks!! I need hard numbers as well as opinions. I just don't know anymore as to where to look for such. I've been out out of the business side of things for a few years. I'm sure somewhere on the...

    Best Aircraft for the Job ???

    Morgan, Hey there. They're not hiring yet. They only have the "thought" right now. If I can do the numbers, I'll get em to have the "bug" to start this operation. I gotta prove it's more cost effective than paying someone else. I think it has huge potential above their own stuff, but I have to...

    Best Aircraft for the Job ???

    Thanks for the various inputs guys. EatSleepFly, I like some of those ideas. Does anyone know the operating cost of these aircraft. What's the cost per pound of cargo capacity per mile, etc?? Before I realized how much volume they were talking about, I was looking at the Grand Caravan doing...

    Miami Air

    Any Miami Air guys still out there? I'm looking for any current info on Miami Air. Looks like they are interviewing. I'm wondering if upgrade time is still as long as reported previously in this thread. Most info here is nearly a year old, but it was said then that upgrade time is 5 years or...

    Any contact info on these guys? Anyone have an email address or number? Is it actually operating on a USA(FAA) certificate? US crews , etc. ?? I wonder who's old L10s they're using. Sounds intersting... the TriStar is an awesome airplane..., ... unfortunately just not much future left in...

    Anyone out there that attended the Miami Job Fair that met w/ NAA?? Just curious if anyone has received any calls yet.
