Just curious if hired by airnet the likely hood of getting DTW and what is the schedule like. Thanks.

I Tried doing a search but didn't find anything on this.
 
I don't know, but for what it's worth, I don't recall seeing DTW on bid sheets that often at all. I know enough about that place though to advise that you get a nice dependable handgun and brush up on your target practice in advance. I'm surprised our planes don't end up on blocks with the chrome spinners missing.
 
If I am remembering correct, the two pilots that are on the two runs out there are on the higher end of the prop side and prob going to upgrade soon to a lear. You never know what is going to be out on the bid sheet until it comes out. They might like rock city and may be picky with what lear sic spots they bid, so who knows.
 
I know they have tactical taxi procedures. Any less than 60kts on taxiway victor is unheard of. Just makes sure you turn and follow the taxiways if they give you the "other" taxi route. :)
 
I would guess that the two DTW pilots are indeed getting close to upgrading, though I don't have any idea how picky they are with lear bidding.

One route has a show around 8pm and goes until a little before 7am, mix of 'jo and 'van

The other one has a show around 9pm and goes until right around 6am, baron only

Both are 4 day runs.

I heard stories about DTW...

Think we should add some tactical approaches to the profiles just for Detroit?

Yeah, that little side window is just the right size to stick your "gat" out sideways and return fire.
 
For almost any base in the props plan on initially being based somewhere you don't want to be, and most likely getting the base you want within 3-6 months. In MOST cases this seems work out. I turned down DTW for TEB right out of training and I am from CMH. No DTW for me thanks, even though approach girl rules. But more impotantlly if you plan on staying for the Lear there are no Jet bases in DTW.
 
Is the south-east a popular one? Do routes in the props and lears come up often?
 
Yeah, I fly that one of the runs out of Detroit and I should be gone in the next month or so. The other pilot, I don't know, she will probably stay there until she can get a Lear spot close to that area, since she doesn't want to move too terribly far away. Detroit as a base isn't too bad, I've never had any problems living here or with dealing with people that work in and around DTW. As far as gunfire, thats all bull********************. It's a base pay run, though, so don't think that you are going to get rich flying out of here.
