    Need some info on MNPS Airspace

    Short answer is yes you need MNPS LOA for crossing even using the Blue Spruce routes. The time frame depends on your equipment and HF requirements.

    Pilot Shortage affecting the Majors

    The engineer is still there. If anything trains could be automated easier than airplanes. Engineers and conductors make as much or more than most major airline pilots and have rest rules as well. Train companies would love to get rid of them but they can't. Not saying it will never happen...

    FlexJet Pay/Workrules/Benefits???

    There was a mass email from some HR dude inviting everyone to re-apply. For many this was the only contact. This must be what they are talking about. This whole thing wasn't handled very well. To make things worse RH was personally calling FO guys to offer interviews.

    FlexJet Pay/Workrules/Benefits???

    I hear LXJ is offering interviews to furloughed FO guys. Nice move management, bypassing laid-off Flex folks who want to go back. Would have been nice to have some sort of requirement or contract saying they need to recall laid-off employees before going to the street.

    Psychic abilities

    I've heard about that guy. Apparently he has the same ability when it comes to airplanes.

    CE560 Encore Differences Training

    Try SIMCOM in Grapevine and don't call it recurrent, just tell them you need 560 differences and you are current 550.

    Pilot contract websites

    My experience in the past 4 years with "contract pilot" websites has been nothing. I have a resume on three website and not one call. All my contract work has come from networking and referrals from friends. Your mileage may vary.

    after landing checklist always done OFF all rwys?

    Some guys just have to raise the flaps ASAP. Clear the runway and take your time.

    Pilots Who Have Left Fractionals for Airlines or Corporate - Happier?

    Laid off Flex myself. I did 91 contract which paid well but at times the airplane manager wasn't tending to the planes well which was very frustrating. Ended up at a small charter. I have lots of unscheduled time off but since I live in my home town with the fam it's fine. Life is hard in...

    Southern US chief pilot 135 general salary

    How'd it work out for you?

    Southern US chief pilot 135 general salary

    Be great unfortunately you will be disappointed if that is your expectation. Find out what line pilot pay is and add 10 to 20%. If they pay day rates for pilots you're in worse shape. Trick is be the chief for what they pay and do contract gigs on the side. Until the place gets big and...

    BE1900's

    Try Martinaire. They have some BE1900s now. Entry level pay. Cold bases. And I concur with the above. Beech turbo props do well in ice, with the bigger King Airs handling it better due to more powerful engines with the ice vanes open.

    Sign of the times - Martha Stewart leaves Netjets for Talon Air

    Unfortunately that's what is done most of the time; knew a DO once who actually asked what were the odds of having an accident (very small) so why not press on. Had a pax ask me once why their airplanes never broke down on the road and ours (nice frac operator) broke sometimes. I explained...

    Sign of the times - Martha Stewart leaves Netjets for Talon Air

    Was the owner a midget? Given the size of fractional airplanes how could the guy, I assume it was a guy, pee on the tires. Even with a geewiz one would have to kneel quite a bit to pee on the tire. That said I agree with you; you can't pee on me without paying extra.

    Finding a contract pilot

    It's simply lack of respect for pilots and safety from the owners and that comes from their lack of experience with aviation. Their pilot/manager should have explained this to them however it wasn't done. The view is that if the plane can be flown single pilot why waste the money for the other...

    Training Agreement for Contract Pilot

    Do not sign a retro-active contract. If they made a good faith gesture to you and you to them that should suffice. If they decide to change the terms that's their problem. Signing the contract sets you up for grief down the road should things sour. They have already lost their trust in...

    Piaggio ground handling

    Would seem so, narrow wheel base with a high center of gravity; single engine with a strong cross-wind would be very challenging.

    Starting 135

    Don't do it! The margins are small, workload very high. Dealing with the feds is very frustrating. For every one step forward they begrudge you they knock you two steps back. If you absolutely have to do it go as a single pilot single airplane outfit; no manuals or management personnel...
