Hello,
IP076: No class date yet, but have a phone interview with AirApps tommorow afternoon. I guess this is a new portion of the screening process. With all the resumes that they must recieve it is a challenge to screen all those folks and keep costs down. Question, does anyone know the type of questions that are asked, and do you know afterward if you made the cut, and move onto the next step?

Hello,
A couple of questions for you in the know...
What bases have C-310R's? And the length of training syllabus? From what I have read in the past, everyone was initially trained in the Baron, and transition training for aircraft you'll be flying on your run(s) if required. Is it correct that now you'll be trained only in the aircraft you'll actually fly out on the line?
Thanks to everyone for all their kind help over the past couple of years as I've climbed the ladder. I am looking foward to being a "Starchecker" and meeting some of you.

Kaman...
As afr as i know the 310's are all in the deep south now. Birmingham and Florida that is. BHM is a big MX base for them, and i thought there was one in southern florida at one time also. Nice plane, not as nice as the Baron, but still pretty nice(just no darn Autopilot). I do not know about initial training as much as i used to, but yes we used to all learn the BE-58, then transition. I don't know how they will do it now...I would think they would still train you in the BE-58 just in case of a base closure since we have more Barons than anything else. Who knows...many new things on the horizon...by the way Expressjet is hiring with pretty much the same mins as Airnet.
CrewDawg...
As far as i know there is no multi experience requirement per se. They do want you to have some experience in them however, and the more the better, especially recency of experience. 135 mins are best for time overall, and i think i have heard that the SIC program is starting back up very shortly. This means we are very short on pilots, and we will be hiring like crazy this year.

C310
The C310 is a great machine. Depending on who you ask, it IS nicer then the BE58. More roomy and more comfortable. Not having autopilot can be a hassle, but your stick skills stay sharp. They are all in the south right now, all except one in IND and another in CMH for training. The plan is to have them phased out and replaced with BE58s, soon, but when is still unknown. Some of them are not certified for icing, so those will be the first to go.
Good Luck!

Re: C310
You are right about the stick skills, those autopilots and HSI's spoil you.
The problem with getting rid of the bare a$$ 310s is they are the ones with radar (for the most part). Oh yeah the barons have radar with few exceptions.
I know the mechanics will miss the 310s, they are supposedly a lot easier to work on compared to a baron.

The only person who would prefer a 310 over a 58 has never flown a 58. 58s have way more room especially if you move over to the rt seat and fold the rudder pedels up. Also I cant tell you how many times a have almost fallen asleep in a baron, not even close in a 310. Just look at the seats, the baron has a headrest and leans way back.pilotboy76 said:

310 Bashing time.....
It's not so bad if you like seeing those darn tip tanks flex way above the cockpit in turbulence...
It's not so bad if those stupid fuel tanks were not so complex...
It's not so bad if you don't mind folding yourself up to get cargo into that little door...
It's not so bad if it were faster...
It's not so bad if it didn't skin your knuckles or break your hand when extending the gear manually...
Yeah, all little things, but all of those have no comparison to the BE-58.

starchkr,
Are all your 58's pre-1984 models? Are any of the radars worth anything or do they just light up the cabin? I take it all your 310s are "R" models? Yea, Cessna really screwed ye ol pooch by not putting a big cabin door on the 310s. Also, no switching tanks in the Baron. The 3/400-series fuel selectors are worthless. And those tip tanks...great to have 600 lbs of fuel 18 ft rom the CG.
Are you guys still buying caravans and phasing out pistons?
