Airnet update?

[wings421]

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

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.

Are you talking about right seat Simuflight time as in Instructor Pilot or as in Sim Co-Pilot? Please tell me not the later.

Unfortunately, too many of the Simuflite right seaters seem to think they can log the time they spend sitting in the right seat of a sim as Total Time. One guy told me flat out that if he didn't count his right seat sim time, he would only have 800 hours....and that's NOTHING compared to his 2000TT and 1200jet when he does count it!

RT seat time!!

Well unfortunately it is right seat sic time, the instructors there say it can be logged as sic time, since we do go through a part 135 sic checkride. and lots of guys have been hired at the corporate level doing that...go figure.

I certainly doubt that they'll hold it against you, unless you have an unrealistic amount of flight time in the sim. Remember though, you'll start out single pilot in the props, not right seat in the jet. There's a big difference, particularly when the weather hits the skids.

the wx has sucked a lot lately. couldn't leave stp the other night because of 1/4 vis. 607 and 602 were holding forever it seemed.

 

[USC328]

How was 311 mr K? 208 sucked as usual, yet got to take off DTW in 800RVR, part 91 of course, see ya

 

[CptMrgn]

Wow, BHM was barely 1sm the other night when I was on 398R. I was ready to sh** my pants. I was actually gonna do an approach! Some nights I start praying for bad weather...

Is being a floater that bad?I know now that you don't get extra pay but I hear lots of complaining.
