Airnet typical day?

[Groundskprwilly]

Morn'n,

I'm approaching 135 mins and was curious what it's like to work at Airnet. What's a typical day like? Do you like the flying? ect. I've been to the web site and it looks like a good company to work for.

Hmmmmmm....Typical day...what would that be?????

It's kinda hard to give a typical day scenario here. Everyone has a different story and none will be the same. My day is 12 hours with 8.5-9 of flying. Some may be 12 hours and fly 2-3. Others might be 6 hour days and 2-4 of flying. Some have different schedules every week (floaters).

Plan on nights and bad weather, that is all i would say for now until you get to decide which run to take when you are in class.

As far as liking the flying...yeah, i like it. It is great experience...except for my darn Captainp ...thats for you John, now that i know you are here, ha ha). Just kidding, it is great, and we are all a bunch of great guys. It is a good company to build your time. Depending on what you want to do with your career, you can go to the regionals or even the majors straight from airnet. Or you can make it a career choice and become a "lifer."

More Qs

Can you J/S company a/c? How about other companies?

Is it a 4 day week or 5 day with some weekend working?

My day is 11 hour duty, 5.5-6.0 flying. Start about 830PM work till 730AM. Monday - Thursday night. Same thing each night. I love it. I got really lucky and got a base close to where I live (80 miles). So, I just go home on the weekends. Hard to beat 85-95 hours multi, 135, PIC, night, instrument time per month and still have Friday morning through Monday night off every weekend in addition to bank holidays! Plus, I heard through the grapevine that a guy with the company 13 months just got awarded a jet spot last night. Plus you can live on the pay (at least I can, but I'm tight).

Typical day

I show up for work around 1045 at night and get off around 930am. I fly about 5.5 hours a night/morning. 7 legs a day keeps your approach skills very current. I jumpseat usually on Southwest to Orlando from Bradley every weekend and never have any problems. Bradley is prbobly one of the most expensive places to live aside from TEB and I am makeing it just fine. Not partying like a rock star, but I am comfortable. As far as the flying goes it is a norm for me to have to shoot 5-7 ILS's to below 1000ft a night. Gotta love it. 13 months to lear. HERE I COME flight levels

whatever you do don't float. just kidding (sort of) it seems most people who have set runs are much happier. if your a hard worker and love to fly AirNet is the place for you.
