Keep in mind they are trying very hard to limit TDY. It costs them money!

If you get based in BUR you luckily will get a TDY/reserve rotation with it just because it's been included in the bidded runs. To get a system TDY slow it's about a 3+ year seniority slot and gaining as there is no movement, and then of course the system TDY line's may be going away, as somebody said they cost money.

Realistically speaking...Is commuting an option with your schedules or would a pilot most likely have to relocate to their base?

As more of the business is becoming small package (UPS) lots of runs are Monday PM till Saturday AM. Lots of outstations (particularly PA31 runs, which is about all you can expect to be hired to right now) are places that don't have scheduled air service, making commuting more difficult.

To echo what has already been said, the hiring climate is a lot like it was after 9/11, meaning hiring direct to anything other than a PA31 is very unlikely. On the plus side, we are still hiring for the PA31 so if you REALLY are serious about flying, contact recruiting.

Do they still use Part Time On Call Pilots? I used to fly a week or so a month for them as a fill-in. I didn't want a full time gig and it seemed to work out pretty good for me and the company.

there is a job board saying that they are hiring Capt off the street for DFW. WTF... is that true?

Furloughed CAL looking for anything at this point (as long as it is not in china or 3rd world)

It is probably an old ad. We had a couple of PA31 openings but one guy finished training a week ago and the other should finish tomorrow.

Shoot me a PM and I can give you specifics.

Keeping those 'Jo runs filled, eh Buff? You must be bribing them with free brisket at Hard 8!

You keeping that Spaniard of yours in line?

When is the SDF base opening? That's home for me and I'd love to get back. What equipment will be out of SDF? If it's all turbine, will you likely hire in to it directly? Happy with the job I have now, but with checks getting thinner, it may not be a permanent position.

If times matter, I'm right around 4000TT/1000TPIC, all in mu-2s.

Thanks.

If it even happens it will be around the first of the year, no idea on types of planes flying out of there. They do have a 1900 flying in there every night for ups starting oct 6 i think.

Hey Buff,
What's the zero thrust setting on the Metro after simulating pulling the stop and feather? 25-30% TQ seems right, but it's been too long.
