Airnet Internship

Yeah, well they let one slip by (me). Haha.

The above is definitely flame bait. Same equipment and better pay at FXE?? Seriously, is this Francios???

 

[Boris Badenov]

Let it go. We all do the same thing. The pay may be slightly better here, although I think that's largely dependant on your run. The equipment is not the same. You start on a 210 at FLX. This is all on the web page. Airnet is by all accounts a good company for which to work. There shouldn't be a pissing contest here. Similar companies. Slightly different equipment, slightly different pay. Do the research yourself and make the right decision for you. I can't speak for Airnet, but we're hiring.

Regards,
Boris

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

Do you ever post anything useful psysix? Every post I have seen of yours is nothing but flame trying to get a reaction? I am mad at myself right now for even typing a response.

Thunderstorms and ice are two different things.
No one there will make you through a Tstorm. Some starcheckers do, but only by their own choice.
Ice is different, but it is still your decision. If you were in a known ice certified baron they might want to talk to you if you elected to stay because of moderate ice. Severe is another story, especially if you are in a Caravan.
Dispatch will try and push you. Remember they are not pilots. They are sitting in a room at LCK, not in the left seat.

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.

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.

Being in a learjet with G007 when the brat guy is in town.....

now THAT'S dangerous!
