Airnet update?

[Captain Morgan]

BHM is the base to get. I'm here and it's all day runs pretty much and reasonable QOL. Hardly any prop West Coast bases, although that's going to change I think. I heard a rumor that we're looking to expand into the Los Angeles area, but that's just a rumor I think. Airnet is a great company, and I surely hope it sticks around. I honestly can say I wouldn't mind finishing out my career here; in the jet of course.

Capt Morgan??????????? Let me corrrected you in my drunken stupor. There are NO west coast prop bases. Omaha is as far west as you get, and that is by no means west coast (hiccup). That will not change. We HAD props out west (belch) but found it cheaper to charter out prop runs and fly jets out west. As far as your chances to get out west, roll the dice (I love you man). Lately it's been easy but totally depends if people ahead of you on the seniority list want west coast.

ssssssssssssnnnnnnnnnnnuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukkkkkkkkkkkkk

ahh the sound of another beer opening. You want west coast, go to Ameriflight and wear a cool uniform(burp). And if you get into the Lear and fly thru CMH you can wear a ball cap that says CAPTAIN on it(poop)!

 

[starchkr]

Yep, no West coast props, only jets. Thats alright, you cant live there anyway without some kind of cost of living increase, which you will not get. Upgrade to jet fo is running fairly shortly, if you take anythig you can hold, but plan on a short delay going to simuflite. Upgrade to capt is a little longer right now, and that is if you again are willing to take anything.

If you want to upgrade quickly go to Jetride after a while on the cargo side...however, they used to like you to have higher total times so you would be able to upgrade faster since they have higher mins on their side.

you can wear a ball cap that says CAPTAIN on it(poop)! :D

and make sure you hat is not broken in at all, with the straightest bill imaginable. also, when you pull out of the ramp, make sure you don't go up far enough to let other people out.

I'm so glad we don't have to wear uniforms!

 

[Captain Morgan]

I by any means don't want to live out west, did it for 5 years and if you don't make 50,000 at least your life is bad... if you make over it just is a little better. Anyway, i'm too new to understand the hat joke, but i can just imagine. And no uniform! My uniform is already pinkish/purple and the guy that had my run before had holes in the shoulders from slinging bank bags over his shoulders (can't imagine what would happen to white shirts and epaulets). No wonder the FBO's don't care to look at us when we walk in. Honestly though I think it's great when we have a baron that looks half way decent and isn't painted in Airnet colors. The linemen run out with chocks and red carpets, only to later find out... it's only us! That's when I pop the door and say "Gotcha!" or "Nice effort!" Kinda like that Capital One commercial where the guy fakes that he's stranded on an island. Have fun all!

We do not have "monkey suits", but we look a hell of a lot better than Flight Express guys....Ever seen those guys in Knoxville? All of 'em look like they just rolled out of bed and stuck their head in a lawn mower.

What I meant was how hard is it to get the jet on the West coast?Does it usually go senior?Thanks
