2000 hrs in type

[Remington]

Just read a thread in the "Military" section. Says a dude got 2000hrs in the U2. Holy cow! Does anyone here in the "Regionals" section have 2000 hrs on one single type???? Do you have the patch?

 

[goahead]

Jealous aren't ya, should be.

 

[SkyBoy1981]

Ehhh....I'm sure plenty of regional pilots have 2000 hours in type. Hell, that only requires what....3 solid years of flying the same airplane?

 

[Alchemy]

What I want to know, how many different types of cancer does the pilot with 2000 U2 hours have?

But seriously, it's an accomplishment to survive 2000 hrs in a U2. The thing is actually challenging to fly, unlike the push button no-worry airliners we wallow around in. Good for him/her.

 

[SkyBoy1981]

BTW, I wasn't trying to take away from someone with 2000 hours in a U2. God knows nothing I have ever flown can compare to that.

J32 ?

Try flying the Junkstream 32 for about 2000 hours. No autopilot, no APU, no bathroom or piddle-pack, 10 legs a day, no food, no flight attendant, no spacesuit to keep you comfortable. You should get a freakin' Air Medal for flying it for 2000 hours.

Now the BA4100, there's a dream of an airplane.

Then I should get the congressional medal of honor for over 7500 hours under the same conditions but in the "mighty guppy." (1900).

There are plenty of others in the regionals that have over 2000 in type. What's the big deal again? or the point of this thread?

With the slow rate of hiring since, oh, 9/11/01, there are lots of people at the regionals spending well over 2000 hours in type, some even in the right seat.

I'm guessing Remington knows this or hasn't perhaps made it out of flight school yet.

I had 2700 hours in the right seat of the E145 before I was able to upgrade.

Can some one please get him a medal? Now, dangnabit, get back in the office! I'm going back to class.

pot? Look under those lamps in your mama's bathtub!!! 2000 hrs seems like a lot of time.

 

[Fltlvls]

Air Midwest has a Captain who has about 24000 hrs in the 1900 , that has been awhile ago so i'm sure he has a lot more now. who would really wan't to count anymore.

 

[Remington]

1000 days and nights in that plane!!! Is he deaf?

 

[Fltlvls]

1000 days and nights in that plane!!! Is he deaf?

What ?

 

[Remington]

24000 hrs is 1000 days and nights right?

 

[Fltlvls]

24000 hrs is 1000 days and nights right?

i'm not good at math but sounds right to me , i only had about 1700hrs in that thing can't imagine having that much.

 

[TheRaven]

i'm not good at math but sounds right to me , i only had about 1700hrs in that thing can't imagine having that much.

WOW---24000 hours divided by 24 hours in a day is 1000 days........that was pretty advanced math......glad it "sounded" right to you, cause if it didn't I'd call your 2nd grade teacher and ask her how you passed.

 

[Mr Wu]

You guys are retarded.

 

[PeanuckleCRJ]

I felt myself become dumber for reading this....

The highest time SR-71 pilot only had around 1200 hours or so in type...

 

[JohnnyP]

..

I think spending 2000hrs in a U-2 is a lot more of an accomplishment than sitting in a silly little RJ for 2000hrs, dont ya think?

Id say the RJ guy and the U-2 guy have a slightly different mission, but what do I know.

"Then I should get the congressional medal of honor for over 7500 hours under the same conditions but in the "mighty guppy." (1900)."

That or a lobotomy for having done it in the first place.

I liked my time in the Beech...but not enough to live in it. (g)

[wntsouthwest]

do you even know what a U-2 is dipSh#$ you go on 18 hour missions at a time !! must fly for mesa in your shinny jet yeah!

NO kidding!

 

[g-code]

Ahh the junkstream....how does that song go again?

 

[Whataburger]

We should change the title of this tread to, "Ok so who has the most time in what regional aircraft?" 4000 DHC8

Forget the hours, give that guy a medal for actually logging 24000 hrs!

For the guy in the U2 - that's a hell of a lot of time in a tough to fly airplane, probably flying in places that aren't real friendly! Just doesn't compare to anyone driving an airliner bus!

 

[MarineGrunt]

You guys are retarded.

BINGO.

Congrats to the U2 pilot.
