That's right!

But it's alright, I'll get back to surfing porn and let you handle all the AMF questions, because you obviously know whats up.

Peace out!

That would explain that ridiculous rumor you were asking about with smaller engines on the 1900....EVERYTHING is clear to me now!

Refugee, also another option is if you don't want to move to SLC. Though from what I hear it is a great base, you can get down here to BUR. As we have a pretty good attrition rate down here as well. Turbine upgrade is usually pretty darn quick, I managed only 5 months before I was upgraded. So just food for thought.

Refuge,

I'm only doing the JAC run during peak when it upgrades to a Metro. Most of the time it's a 99 and generally goes pretty junior. The guy who is on it now is about to upgrade to the Metro and it should open up to whoever wants it...

AND, unlike PDX, you don't have to sit on the cold ramp waiting on late jets. We will TRY to not go over to UPS if the jet is late, or we can hang in the pilot lounge inside the sort center. Couches, TV, warm coffee... PDX doesn't seem to be able to figure that stuff out.

C'mon down!

And yes, the hotels are GENERALLY pretty good. PM me for more details...

We had a big exodus to Skywest not too long ago and a few have left from the Metro and 1900 ranks for NetJets and corporate gigs.




Hey Citabria, what about the one that went to the "other" airline out east?
And RefugePilot, don't listen to Timebuilder. He was one of those PFTs if I'm not mistaken. SLC has a great group of pilots and definitely has quick upgrades.

Yep, one of the best programs I've been in, flew with a lot of great guys (some on this board included), and jumpstarted my career. I've been a part 135 captain, an instructor, and a traffic watch pilot since then. Anything else you want to know?

We've really hijacked this thread now.

Oh yeah, that one guy, "the dot, not the feather"... LOL!

Yeah, SLC isn't the same with PanEx

That's good stuff!

Can you specifically request SLC when hired? Or do they just put you in whatever base they need filled at the time.

Trying to get back home to Utah.

I imagine the IFR 135 mins are pretty firm as far as hiring goes... I'm at 1,000tt/ 285 multi.... so I'll probably have to wait a while longer.

At your times, the only way we could hire you currently is a part 91 trainer in BUR (or an E120 FO if anything were open; I don't know of any of those at this time.) Once you got to 1200 total, you could bid to SLC. I don't think SLC has any PA31 (help me on this, SLC locals) but with a couple hundred hours as a trainer, you might be able to get to a BE99.

To hire directly into the 99, you would probably need about 1400+ hours.

No PA31's. That 1400 hr number is prolly pretty close, but with the shortage of pilots we have, you never know. I heard that there might be a 99 outstation opening up(possibly)(who knows)(maybe). But that's just what I've heard.
