don't worry about the contract...
first, that year goes by pretty quick.
second, i know a few people that left and refused to pay and were not challenged to pay after their refusal. But by all means at least stay for your first year, it is only good character to do so. You enterred into it, see it through. Airnet might even put in a negative word for you when your next job calls to see how good of an employee you were.

Hello,
In addition to the $7,000.00 training contract, you are also are required to agree to stay in your initial domicile for one year. Neither of these requirements seem to unreasonable to me. AirNet is trying reduce their pilot training costs, and I was told that it is very likely that you will know your base/equipment prior to beginning training.
The latest information that I have is that AirNet is using AirApps to conduct some of the initial screening. I was offered an appointment for an interview and now I'm awaiting the phone call. Does anyone have any idea what AirApps does as a part of the screening? Also, what bases typically go junior? If I am forrtunate to be hired I'm hoping for RIC, BNA or BDL in that order.
Thanks and regards,

Kaman...
well i do not know much about the hiring anymore, but i do know they have changed the system a lot. As you say, they are going to require you to stay base locked to cut down on training...it kinda sucks for those who don't get what they want.
I do however know that there are no junior bases, just bases that open up along the way. I know we should have a NEW(new Orleans) run on the next bid sheet...(the guy up and quit last week..just off of IOE too). See this new base lock hurts those who want to go to another base like the ones you prefer if they cannot get them right away...especially if it is in the same a/c type...that's what really gets me. Oh well, i guess if they give you a base choice going into class and you cannot get something you want then just thank them and say no thanks.
I really do not know what to say other than that.

I know two BDL Runs just went to the last class.
RIC has been on the bid sheet for the last 3 or 4 weeks, there are 4 runs there. Luckily, I got the last one(which I think is the best one, off duty shortly after midnight!)....sorry! However, I hear there may be one or two of them opening up again real soon. I'm looking forward to moving somewhere where the average low temp for january is higher than the average high temp!
It would be more fair to the applicant if given the choice before accepting the job. But, someone willing to move anywhere, comes off as really wanting to work for the company. Makes you wonder if maybe we will start hiring into bases?
I agree with you starchkr, the a/c lock makes sense, but I think you should be able to transfer bases as long as no further training is needed....
When is your class Kaman?

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?
