Avantair Interview!!!

[Twotter76]

Can you choose your base at Avantair or are they assigned? Do you all bid for schedules or is it just go where they need you?

Thanks

Anyone know if Mike Garcia works there? Heard something about it the other day.

I think he was for a short while and is now back at his previous position.

 

[Heavy Set]

Can someone give us an example of what a "typical" 6/7 day schedule looks like? I realize that in the fractional world no week is typical. Something like:

Day 1 - Flown to waiting aircraft from base and positioning flight to Wyoming
Day 2 - Five sectors with stops in CA, NV and WA
Day 3 - ....

You can PM me if you like. I have friends who fly for NJA and Flexjet - I would imagine it would be somewhat similar. However, with the P180, I would imagine shorter legs and quite a bit of positioning - but I could be wrong.

Thanks

There is no bidding for schedules. Schedules start on a Monday or a Wed. Each last for about 7 days, give or take 1/2 day or so.

You can get to chose your base. RNO, PIE or CDW. If you live close to one of their bases, they assume you want that base. If not, make that very clear to the interviewers that you want something else. Getting there is your repsonsibility. They have no jumpseat agreements that I know of.

I got a email from Avantair that they would be coming out west to interview - anyone heard anything like that?

Travel Air used to do that. They would hold interviews and testing of a group of pilots at regional FBO's

Logging Flight Time in a Piaggio

Anyone know if the airlines accept canard time?

 

[avbug]

The piaggio doesn't use a canard.

 

[rettofly]

No Canard?

The piaggio doesn't use a canard.

Just what do they call those little wings in front?

 

[Twotter76]

Forward wing I believe.

 

[brewerdog]

little wing, isn't that a Jimi Hendrix song?

 

[Bluestreaker]

little wing, isn't that a Jimi Hendrix song?

It's a Stivie Ray Vaughn song.

 

[Humble-Pielot]

It's a Stivie Ray Vaughn song.

Wrong sir. It was an excellent cover by SRV; Jimi recorded it well before Stevie put it on a record.

 

[brewerdog]

thanks, I thought it was Jimi, but SRV did it right too

 

[brewerdog]

song titles aside, anybody hear about interviewing on the West Coast?
