cargo and checks at night, oh my !?

My goodness...

tathepilot...all of what has been said about
watching your own back, maintenance, and
so on can, does and will apply at some point
at any carrier. Some are just far worse than
others. It is about the bottom line.

I have heard good things about amf from a
coworker, but he left there to come to the
airline I'm at (the smallest 121 carrier I am
aware of), to get some 121 experience...
now he is stuck and would be making hella
more money if he had stayed.

I have worked 135 freight (about 1500 hrs
worth) and for the most part loved it. Really
hard work, low pay, crappy skeds, etc.
The flip side is that it is just you and the
airplane, no stupid pax, few wx delays, and
alot of fun.

If you are about to meet 135 mins, why don't
you send your stuff to some of the regionals?

just a thought

In all honesty, I never wanted to go to the airlines. I started flying at 16 because of my love for the sky. When I got my license I always said that I'd be happy flying anything that is able to take to the sky. (Except helo's)
I've been thinking much about cagro lately because I won't have to deal with all the other things that come with working for a regional.
I think about bush flying or maybe joining a missionary to help people out.

And by the way 'starchkr' retart sounds much better

Tathepilot:

I hear what you're saying. When I was 3 or 4 I took my first trip to the airport. My eyes fell on an Eastern DC-9 (I think it was a dash 30, not sure though) and I was hooked. The sound the smell, everything. Automatically, I grew up thinking that the airlines were the only aspect of aviation to go into. As i progressed on with my career I saw there's a lot of really cool jobs. In the end, what really matters? To fly, that's it. So I think you're on the right track. Good luck to you!

Okay, I read you! Mountain Air in the
Southeast, Empire Air in the NW, USA
Jet in YIP...there is someone using
the Shorts for Airborne in the Midwest
don't know the names of the Caravan
operators for UPS, but many of these
are good operations with civilized
pay scales...Also, Airnet can be a good
deal for some. I am trying to find out
some info on Murray Aviation out of
YIP...lots of them out there.

Piston operators I know of are Package
Express and Ram Air in the carolinas...
I used to work for Package Express's
prequil, CAF. Flight Express in the lower
midwest.

Good Luck!

Nice Capt' Morgan....

Is that the new multi role civilian Piper i have been reading about. A carryover from the military...ya know part plane, part sub, part boat... Lets not forget, now the MX costs have tripled...to do an annual you must go to an A&P, a shipyard, and an undersea testing ground. Whew...that $4000 just turned into $40,000.

captain morgans avatar cracks me up. I can see AMF arguing with the FAA that "technically" we don't need overwater equipment.

BTW, anyone heard anything else about Hazlet getting fired? I saw that there is a new Director of MX.

I heard that too..... also saw the memo that we'll have the ex VP of maintenance from COLGAN joining up.

$hit I didn't sign up for that life insurance.
