Avantair question ?

[haulingthemail]

I applied with 7600 ttl, 6000 multi, 2700 jet, 3000 tprop. Nothing either

Is it true that they are thinking about getting a base in OKC and/or TUL?

Lear,

Yes, their HQ is in FL. They are trying to get pilots more evenly based around the country. Right now we have too many pilots in Florida and it is difficult to do crew swaps on the other side of the country with so many people in the Southeast. Until we are even spread out, they won't hire into areas where we are heavy on pilots.

Well, here is the obvious question, do you have to live next to a gateway? Thanks...

Yes, you have to live within a two hour drive of your gateway.

guys, like all jobs, the only way to get a call is to have someone talk to someone who will call someone...if you have a buddy at Avantair have them call HR

as for perks - cool plane, fun coworkers
downside (for 121 guys) - no more free airline passes

You sound like you have some pretty competitive experience for a lot of turbine PIC jobs (king air etc). I am surprised that time is considered low by avantair. Are they in need of captains, so they are looking for times for an upgrade?

I am considering applying with 1900 total, 1000 multi, 1100pic, and 1000 turbine sic (of which 850 turbojet (airline), 150 t-prop (small frac,)). Would I be at all competitve?

I dont think 1900 total time is alot of time by any means. Unless you come from the school of thought that civilian trained 250 hour pilots can competently fly RJ's... Ive got over 3000 hours and stuff happens everyday that makes me feel like a newbie.

The Avanti cant be compared to a King Air, unless you're talking about fuel burn. I dont know of a King Air that comes close to a TAS of 400 KTAS. Heck, our landing ref is typically only about 75 knots slower than Vmo on a King Air 90...

I hear its a pretty gay organization. If you smoke a tobacco pipe,are really short, insecure about women, like to kiss A**, a two face, mmmmm, roll your on cigarettes to save money, and try to marry a female pilot. (come on we all know they are dogs) You might be good for this. I got my undercover flying job thank you.

Please put down the crack pipe, and back slowly away from the keyboard before you injure yourself. Thanks.
