You guys really hurting for pilots?

 

[V2plus25]

Didn't know they employed anyone part-time.

 

[I'm42]

It looks like the minimums have dropped.

 

[psysicx]

So is the website wrong it says 2500TT.Also what bases do they have metros at?

 

[Corona]

They sure have problems keeping those birds staffed. Could it be because the Metro is an unholy POS; barely safe for two pilots? Wonder why they don't get more 1900s to take over...

how long does it take to hear back after online application

 

[X-FROG]

I actually flew a Metro/Merlin IVC for Ameriflight. It's not a bad company to work for. You know all night freight flying. Mostly single pilot sometimes a co-pilot ab-inito type. DHL runs are the best as all you have to do is fly. UPS runs suck as you have to load/unload a entire metro by yourself. Hope your back is ok. Have fun and any questions just ask.

 

[Flyin Tony]

Sounds like unloading and loading a Metro will keep you in shape, thats about the only good you will get from it.

 

[JediNein]

Part time exists for their 'pilot trainers' and 'simulator instructor' positions. Another thread mentions part time on call...

As for hearing back from them, it was six months after I did the online application, 2 hours after a friend walked in my number.


Fly SAFE!

I've been flying the metro for a little over a year and I've never had to load or unload a whole metro by myself. I've helped load a little cargo here and there but never a whole plane load of UPS or DHL. I think as a general rule the company would rather you not get hurt and have to miss service than have you bust your back loading. I believe in the past metro pilots did much more loading and unloading, but that is not the case now days.

 

[DirtyBeech]

as a general rule you don't unload the metros unless there is a dire need. if ups throws out there back then too bad, the freight still goes. if you throw out your back the plane is grounded. generally with metros and up, the customers are contracted to have adequate help there to do the job along with beltloaders or rollers. 99's and down result in some healthy exercise though.

 

[HAZ-MAT]

The Metros I see in BUR always have two rampers inside with a belt loader hooked up to the rear cargo door. So possibly in outstations you would have to load and unload, or like someone else said, doing a UPS run
