Airnet florida bases

[RiddleEagle18]

hey guys sorry if I repeat but I shearched and couldn't find anything. How senior is opaloka and tampa. Thanks

 

[starcheckdriver]

Well Tampa is very senior and is a Lear only base. Although, I am hearing rumors that the Tampa Lear will be re-located and based in Orlando. OPF is a Baron only base and comes out for bids a couple times a year. Doubtful to get OPF right out of training. Give it six months.

thanks

OPF has one baron route and Orlando has a navajo route. TPA and FXE are jet only, and I don't think anything short of Armageddon itself will get those guys to move on.

Don't get too bummed if you can't start out in Florida. I grew up down here and unless I want to live at home, I will be living elsewhere.

Why? Everything is too damn expensive. There are much cheaper places to live in the country where a pilot's paycheck can go a lot further.

Don't get me wrong I love the beach and nice weather, but I don't know if the extra cost is worth it.

except the 3 pilot rotation being axed on 212
and when 801 gets moved to ORL and rebid and the PIC gets outbid on it...you heard it hear first.

 

[Princedietrich]

You got a source for that?

 

[txpilot1_99]

Of course not. Don't you know who he is...Ms. Gossip herself. :beer:

 

[Guillotine007]

i'm going to oubtid him for it

 

[starcheckdriver]

Hey Prince....ORL is a Bron base. No Navajo there. Get your facts straight!

 

[Guillotine007]

yeah...frank is based down there IIRC.

Ok then, why do I remember hearing near-nightly rants from a certain very grouchy 2nd shift dispatcher about "that idiot on 441" breaking his navajo again.

Because ORL used to be a Navajo base.

Pardon my French, but you're a Windrider!

Airnet Bases

Airnet's web site lists BUF as a prop base. Is it still active? What aircraft is (are) based there? How often does BUF open up for bid?

Thanks for any info!

Ive heard they have a Navajo and that it opens up pretty often

 

[starcheckdriver]

BUF has a couple pilots based there with Navajo runs. I would say BUF open 3-4 times a year, maybe more.

This may be true, but ORL is still a Baron base and your are, as your famous words used to say -- an asshat!

 

[landlover]

chances of getting TEB straight out of training??
