    Seattle Flight Training

    I can assure you that there are very few operations in the Seattle area (or anywhere else for that matter) that are getting rich off charging 'high' rates to the flying public. While we can all lament the increase in rental rates, it simply is the cost of doing business. If you were to finance a...

    Diamond DA-42 Twinstar rental?

    It depends on the mechanic and the size of the "A". Cost and downtime are pretty close to sheet metal repair. Composite repair tends to look much better after the fact, in most cases you can't visibly tell there was damage. Rather than replacing ribs and skin all the way back to the spar and...

    Diamond DA-42 Twinstar rental?

    The beauty of message boards, spreading misinformation to the masses. I suppose they will explode if hit by lightning as well?? Perhaps the high cost of rental has to do with the capital investment? The hull value on this is much higher than some old beater Duchess, so I suppose insurance would...

    Diamond DA-42 Twinstar rental?

    Galvin Flying in Seattle has one for rent. The checkout procedure is pretty straight forward, you will need some time in type (DOE) before you blastoff solo, but not nearly as restrictive as posted above (worst case scenario 15 hours). I've got a bit more than 100 hours in the airplane and it...

    Help finding an Alaska Buddy

    Question for you Alaska guys. I had a friend that I used to work with at SKYW that moved on to the mud hen out of ANC. He was in class late last year. Anybody that can help, please PM me.

    Aeroflight out of Seattle

    I don't know that much about Aeroflight. Used to work at AirPac a couple of years ago. One of the best jobs I ever had. I'm wondering why I ever quit. I know that the small cargo guys might be trimming flying back because there is less bank work. I've never heard much bad about Areoflight...

    Air Pac

    You said you wanted an unbiased opinion so I guesss I don't count. I've worked here for about 6 months. Its great experience. The planes, everything you would expect out of freighters, are in good condition, the maintenance department keeps them up well. There is talk of starting to install GPS...

    Renewing my CFI?

    Be careful with the MasterCFI method of renewal. I started three months prior to expiration applying to NAFI for the master designation. A month before exp. I got it. After the run around at the FSDO for three weeks, they decided not to recognize that as a means to renew (its not written in the...

    SkyWest Pool

    I got in with numerous internal recs, each followed up on with an email. I had 1450-400 as a flight instructor, and I had just gotten a job with a 135 company. I know what you mean about being jealous, being in the pool soothes the itch somewhat but you still want to drink from the firehose...

    Co.'s in the Pacific Northwest

    No Warren's not here. He's with SKYW down in Portland. He used to come in to work ops once in a while but its been a while since I've seen him. As far as the rest goes, its a really fun place to work. The people there are great and the equipment (PA-34 PA-31 CE404) is always well taken care of...

    SkyWest Pool

    Got the job in August. Heard maybe in November to be called in but I doubt it. I also heard that the October class was CXLED. Good news is that maybe after the first of the year something might happen for us. There is another thread that deals with this, some people think they want to get the...

    Co.'s in the Pacific Northwest

    I work for Airpac, a 135 outfit out of BFI. Amflight is also big up here too.

    Airpac Airlines & Methow out of BFI ?

    Sorry, I should have made myself more clear. I didn't perform the steep turns to a tolerance which I find personally acceptable at this point in my career. I was still within tolerances, but as a flight instructor there were many aspects of it that I found I could use work on, smoother roll in...

    Airpac Airlines & Methow out of BFI ?

    Yeah that was probably me or the other new hire. We both passed our checkrides that day. Flying the line that night. It's pretty cool. I've been doing flight instruction for the past 2 and a half years so actually getting to touch the controls again is taking some getting used to. The steep...

    Airpac Airlines & Methow out of BFI ?

    Professor, I just took my 135 ride for airpac yesterday. Great company, fun people and routes. I am hired on part time to fill in for the summer, hopefully full time later. I don't think they are planning any hiring until after summer, but that may change if there is some movement. I work at a...

    Kpae

    Try Methow. They fly Beech 18's. They and Amflight are the only ones I know that go in and out of KPAE. Good luck.

    Airline Pilots & Second Jobs

    Try event promotions. The people that hand out stuff at ball games and busy spots in town, like gum, breath mints, credit card apps, etc. My cousin does that, shows up when she can and sometimes the gigs pay up to $250 a day. Not the most glamourous work but if you need flexible quick cash, not...

    Latest on skywest/Coex

    I figure I'll say it before hotwing, but how would that affect people waiting to get on? I had a interview cancelled after the war started and working three jobs is starting to get old. How many furloughed xjet guys are there out there? Living the dream.
