Avantair

Just wondering what things are like there. I have an opportunity to interview. I have done some research and seen what is on here. I am currently at a regional as a captain based at home. Would move to my new base. For those that are there what do you guys think? Thanks

Do a search. You're a regional captain? Dont be stupid man

Maybe I missed something but you said you are a regional captain. That requires an ATP and 1500 hrs. Your profile says you have 1450. Something is amiss.

I thought the mins on their web site was for 2500 tt?

Glad you are concerned with my time. Thanks for answering my question. I have not been here in a while and have not updated. I have the time don't worry. Thanks again now I know why I don't come here that often.

I'm a former regional captain. I've been here over two years and I still like it. I'm treated much better here than I ever was treated at the regionals.

Would you say that flying for Avantair is "regional-like" in that you can do a lot of short hops every day and not many flights lasting 3+ hours in the P180? 3+ hours in an Avanti would not be comfortable anyway... Obviously you can fly anywhere vs. on a set regional route structure and that is a huge benefit in my mind.

Let's see, this week:

TVC-JAC 3.8
CAD-EGE 3.6
YIP-FLAGSTAFF 3.9

You're right, though, my A$$ expires at 2.5!

Wow - that's pretty fast for a turboprop. That's some nice variety though - Flagstaff is a pretty nice place in the pines. Those P180s are pretty impressive. Yeah, my arse aches after 2 hours in the Emb Jet too.
