Airnet update?

"So what is the average seniority of the pilot group?"

It's somewhere in the middle.

Average seniority huh...well lets see, approx. 250 pilots, so i would venture to say average is 125.

However i think you wanted to ask a different question besides what you typed, but i cannot help or answer unless you write it as to get that answer, so try again and i will be glad to help.

Directly to Cargo lear....NO, pay your dues first in the props, upgrade is very short right now, so it really isn't bad.

Commuting....Yes, you can do it. I used to do it, and i know others that do it now. Just don't get stuck and then call in and say you can't get to work because you were bumped off a flight...they will happily send you a pretty pink note in your next days comat.

208

So if you had Caravan experience, are you more likely to be put in the 'van? Can you upgrade to the Lear with van time, or do they have a min ME requirement? Is anyone familiar with 208 bases and runs?

Whatever is open when you show up for training is what you get. It could be a Baron, 310, Navajo or Van. So your chances of getting a Van are 1 in 4. I flew nothing but the Van and was still able to upgrade to the jet, so it can be done. Some bases with the Van are; TEB, RIC, BHM, FWA,STP, MEM, CPS, MKE, AVP and CMH. If i missed any someone fill the rest in...

I think that the IND and DET pilots are van qualified for their middles.

NEW is a Caravan base also

JATO Bottles

I was the flight engineer for Fat Albert for three years. Did all of the maintenance and flew center seat just about every show. JATO bottles are getting to be a thing of the past, I think they have enough bottles for the next year and that will be the end for the JATO BLAST during the air shows. Current day costs for new botles are 4500 per bottle. Imagine the public reaction to seeing an aircraft blow 36,000 dollars per takeoff!

There is a story on the internet about some ya'hoo that put a JATO bottle on the top of his car and lit it off. Nothing left of either the car of the dude except for a smoking hole in the side of a mountain.

I have two bottles ready for the Baron so that I can keep the packages and checks "On Time"
