Avantair

[hyper]

The forward wing has flaps, but no control surfaces. The tail has no anti-ice as it needs none. Doesn't accumulate there. I've landed with the aircraft loaded up and only trace amounts on the stabs. As a matter of fact, the Avanti is certified for flight in freezing rain for up to 4 minutes.

Not to be a #ick, but did you read ANY of the post I took the time to write? Like the first paragraph to start with?

 

[psysicx]

Sorry I some how skipped that.Do you enjoy working here or are you looking to get out?You said 14 hour days are common how many legs is that usually?Are they long flights or is it a mix and do you get to enjoy your destinations?

Here's a few more questions:

Is the pay the same for the Premier and the Avanti?

How many deliveries of each fleet type are you expecting?

What are the annual raises?

How are the benefits? Medical, dental, vision, 401K etc...

Also, who do I send a resume to? I didn't see much info about that on the company website - was I looking in the wrong place?

The Premier can be flown single-pilot. Max takeoff weight is 12,500 lb according to the info on Raytheon's site.

Peering thru the DV window from afar, I'd bet my prize heffer that forward wing has a movable control surface on it.

What do you fly, Kingairrick? Exactly how much time is ~~~~~~? Realizin' that you cowpokes with a ~ in your time window are a buncha wizeazzes.

More serious topic / tailplane icing. Why did the FEDs allow no tail anti / deice on this bird. FEDS have been focused on this problem in the last several years due accidents related to icing.

Tx.

I don't know whose DV window you're lookin' through, but flaps don't count. The P-180 pilots will back me up on this.

My TT is more than enough, and irrevalent, I fly current production Falcon Aircraft at a Avantair base airport.

Sorry if I came off as condecending. Just trying to share info/couldn't resist the opportunity to pontificate...(see disclaimer below)

Oh, and that's "Mr. Wisass" to you

Which EFB do you folks use, and how is it mounted?
I mean the EFB, that is.

You fly those French jets and....

Condescendin? You came off all emergency descent 10000 fpm like. Thats ok, I'm a big boy and Im talkin BIG so I can handle yer type.

I picture yer type, that French jet flyin' hotshot wearin' loafers and a leather jacket with faux fur on the inside. I ain't callin yall Mr. I could call you Garson.

But I call a spade a spade, so I'll be leavin it at that.

Tryin to parse some real information about the Avanti. Dont need that college boy know it all wiseass (yes college boy, its spelled with an e in the middle, so reach around and pull that e outta yer azz as it were.) Dont they teach you anything at Riddle?

Hey texass, does that shiny metal stuff on the wing anti ice on its own, you got me curious as hell, not sure what the you were talking about, most of the jets I've flown have not had any shiny metal on the leading edge and the hot wing worked fine to keep the ice off.

This thread is getting better by the day. Come on kingairrick, defend the east coast and yourself. That texan is callin you out!

 

[RideTheWind]

I thought he was a texass not a texan.

Either way, this could be as funny as "You might be a flops pilot if..." if they keep it alive.
