Airnet Internship

[Captain Morgan]

When I did my stint at Airnet, I was based in BHM. There was one day where a huge line swept across the country and it was impassable around the north or south. The only way was through it. It was level 3-5 embedded and about 100-150 miles wide. In any case, I went up and tried to look for a hole with no radar and queried ATC for help finding a hole before I finally put it down in Columbus, GA. I left 3 hours later and completed the mission. I was late, but I completed the mission. I was never questioned by any chief pilot about the incident. I never had any problems with the high ups because for 99.9% of the time I was doing my job and getting done what needed to be done. There was one person I know who made it a habit of diverting/turning back at every little thing. They didn't last long, but it was them that finally left (They were not fired). I'm at a good regional now and I really miss flying at Airnet.

I heard they make you fly through thunderstorms and known icing at Airnet. Is that true?

Wouldn't it be funny if like 50 people answered yes to that? Is that what you expected? Comeon, man use common sense.

i flew through ice and tstorms at airnet. we've been in business over 20 years and no one has died from a wx related accident. that being said, no one (of consequence) is going to bust your balls about not going into dangerous wx. people's definition of dangerous varies though.

Well, technically it's still a true statement since he said OVER 20 years. You could even say we've been in business over 10 years.
