[QUOTE="hawkerjet, post: 3815, member: 454"] Hey desert falcon, I live in the LA area and primarily fly part 91 for a small company that has world wide concerns, however I still do some side contract work in the part 135 field. I go to LAS frequently and am familiar with many of the companies out there. One question I was thinking of; how much pic turbine do you have? I noticed you flew the "99" and twin otter, both good airplanes, do you have any pic in those aircraft? I also noticed you weren't typed in the F-27. If you have pic time that should get you in the door. If not no need to worry, A turbine engine is a turbine engine although one is used to spin a propeller and the other to compress a mass of air. Let your future employer know that you have never fried a turbine engine( provided you haven't) and let them know the intricacies of the RR dart engine. That is one hell of a sensitive engine. Also let them know how difficult it is to overhaul these engines( don't you send them to Australia for heavy Mx) and as a pilot you're involved in the smooth operation of this older equipment. The only downside I could foresee is your IMC time, probably not much, flying back and forth to the "ditch" most of the time. Make sure your instrument skills are up to speed. Get on your interview suit and get your resume's ready and visit all the operators you know of , in person, weekly. Find out the DO's names' and CP's also; request to meet them or set up an appointment. Many companies are looking for stability, so think of where you'd like to be in five years and be honest. If it's the major's tell them, but also let them know you'd be willing to stay with this company for a couple of years until your ready. Training is a large expense in the corporate flight department and some companies skimp on the training to save money. Find out ahead of time how the company trains their pilots. If they send you to school you may want to enter an agreement with them stating that you will remain with them for 1 year after training is done. That's about right. Also when you sign an agreement in exchange for training most people know it's not worth the paper it's written on, however, aviation is a small world and your word means a lot, and will follow you around, so be careful what you agree to. These are a few things you can do to make yourself attractive to your future employer. You have a lot of experience to offer a new company, turbine time, CRM, flight crew experience,hot and high experience, etc,etc . You just need to let your next employer know about you. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
