Ameriflight question

[jim718181]

Let me preface this by saying that I have searched the Ameriflight posts and could not find it.

Assuming someone was willing to go to any base in the system how long would it take to get the 1900 or the 227?

 

[citabriapilot]

Took me right at a year. Started in PDX, transferred to SLC 9 months later and was in SA227 class on my year anniversary. Could have been sooner had PDX been staffed well enough to release me to SLC sooner.

If you're qualified flight time wise, you might be able to get there right out of the blocks. If you only have 1200 hours and no turbine time, it would depend on which runs you could get and how fast you could build time.

If you want to do the DHL RLD outstation run that is open for bid, you could get in straight away!

 

[DirtyBeech]

That not a bad run. Don't know why they can't anybody to take it.

 

[bama*pilot]

how much flight time on that run?

 

[SPBRIAN]

how much flight time on that run?

Well it depends, if you like to fly it's probably not enough. If your like our current pilot whose doing it and hates flying, DHL, Richland and well, most other things, then it's too much, and approx 1.5 a day give or take.

Don't ruin it for him, he wants off it so bad I could see him trying to off it on his best friend. I know he tried me a couple of times. :uzi:

 

[Boris Badenov]

What would the realistic minimums be for going straight to the 99?

How bout the 227?

TT, ME, Turbine?

BE99: 1800TT, 350AMEL PIC, 30Turboprop (incl. training).
SA227: 2500TT, 1000 AMEL PIC, 750Turboprop (incl. training), ATP AMEL.

Depending on company need these times are not set in stone.

Those are the book times. As mentioned earlier, if there is a run that we're having trouble filling, those can be adjusted.

 

[TheDogsBollocks]

I didn't realize that you were my best friend!

 

[citabriapilot]

SPBRIAN,

Obviously you haven't gotten on the good side of ol' M.C. You been pokin' fun at his accent again? LOL.

I definately miss hearing ol' Bollocks shoutin' out to dispatch in the morning!

Come transfer to PDX and you can hear my "dulcet tones" over again!

 

[citabriapilot]

Been there done that! I bailed out of the 'Jo for SLC right after last years peak. I think you were still doing TDY, before they actually made that reserve spot for you.

C'mon, you know you LOVE Richland!

Richland, 6 full days a week-yeah right. Someone relieve me from aviation pergatory.

Hope SLC is working out for you.

 

[citabriapilot]

Yeah, PDX Reserve didn't turn out to be quite what you were bargaining for, huh? Bummer.

SLC got me a tube faster than PDX would have (i.e. never...) It's a good base. Great pilot group.

Glad to hear the move was a good one, what run are you flying?

 

[citabriapilot]

Currently flying into Idaho Falls. Not a huge time builder, but the hotel breakfast rocks!

I haven't been poking fun at his accent, i'm jealous that I don't have one. Let alone look at our favorite sim instructor, there's interesting tales about him, and the accent is just the deal sealer to take it over the top.

 

[citabriapilot]

Maybe if we had an accent we'd get more girls...

 

[DirtyBeech]

We'd certainly sound more intelligent. Love to hear Speedbird on the radios. They just sound good.

You have plenty of opportunities to visit the "meat market"... no accent required there (but I'm sure it helps). Your standards are just too high. :nuts:

YOU need more than an accent.

Gives me no edge with the wife whatsoever, then again with my looks I should have considered "renting" rather than "buying"!
