cargo job in a jet for a 1200hr pilot

[wheelsup]

This guy could work for eagle? Don't they have a base in PR and MIA? I'm not sure how junior MIA is but I'd think it would be possible...it's possible he's telling the truth about not "working" for GIA...

[threegreen]

I believe him. There are other ways to get turbine time then GIA.

 

[urflyingme?!]

There's no way this guy is goig to get a job he's a total PFT'r Just look at his total time! Less than 2k, what a jerkoff!

Listen KID, come back when you land a 747 with 4 engine flameout during a typhoon!

JK good luck

 

[cforst513]

i had a 5 engine flameout in a 172 whilst flying Chuck Norris and 8 other passengers over the Alps when i was 14. i was 8,000lbs over gross. there was a typhoon, a blizzard, and a volcanoe eruption going on around me. as if that wasn't enough, i was holding back on a monster dump! it coulda made it's way into the "dirrhea in a freighter" thread, but it was all good. i got the engines started back up and took us back up to FL360. after that it was smooth sailing!

 

[Hung Start]

Jeeez,, I hate Gulfstream, and I could care less what they charge etc. I just puke when I see that cocky SOB "president" with his arms folded trying to tell me what "rule number one" is.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Soooo...flying a jet is like being with a hot chick?


eP.

Suck, squeeze, blow, and go.

Well....yeah.

okay, let me get this straight one last time:

"I DO NOT WORK FOR GULFSTREAM!!!!"

"I INSTRUCTED UNTIL I HAD 926TT AND I FOUND A J.O.B.!!!"

Isn't that what everybody does?

I didn't buy my job. I had an interview, a sim evaluation, was sent to training

and even received a pay during training. I think some of the regionals don't

even do that ( skywest started to pay during training only a few months ago

I believe)

And it's not eagle neither. There is plenty of turbine operators in Fl.

Keep looking.

"I fly a 19 seater, therefore no flight attendant, no coffee, etc...Maybe thats why..."


You wont have a F/A bringing you coffee flying freight. Most likely you will not have a lavatory neither. You will probably fly at night in all kinds of wx, load and strap greasy transmitions and fuel your own plane. Also you will be lucky to have more than 6 days off and the rest of the time you will be on ready reserve. But hey, at least boxes never complain, you'll probably double your pay check, and you dont have to wear a hat and a tie!

thank you. interesting info.
What kind of outfits are u refferring to?

 

[gkrangers]

thank you. interesting info.

All of them.

 

[speedbird1974]

Most outfits that fly auto freight are going to be like that. Some better, some worst.
Here are a few:
Ameristar, Murray Air, UsaJet, Kalitta charters, Royal Air, IFL, Cherry air...
A lot of them are 135 under 121 certificate. Some are based in the Detroit area and some down in Texas.
This type of flying is hard but very rewarding too. The pay could be pretty good if you stick around for a while and specially if you fly a lot.

 

[ePilot22]

Oh...

Suck, squeeze, blow, and go.

Well....yeah.

What no bang? Where's the bang? I need a bang! Someone call an ugly chick!!! I think they bang...


eP.

Not true, all these companies are a piece of cake. spend most of your time in sunny mexico looking at babes . Might have to make a token trip to YIP once in a while. You will feel more refreshed than you have ever fealt. The MX is outstanding, and pay for fo's is great, give it a try you'll love it.

I guess an ugly chick is like a piston plane.

Suck squeeze BANG blow.

There's your freakin' bang. :nuts:

You guys make my head hurt.:laugh:

I don't know about Heidi but Shakira eats crackers in bed. She was leaving crumbs everywhere...I had to let her go.

By the way I've heard UPS and FEDEX are hiring.... ... ....

Janet reno or Rosie O'donnell??? Would you rather be Richad Simmons or Madline Albright?

 

[tsky]

Although I have never flown passengers, I love my freight flying job. How cool is it flying along in the middle of the night listening to coast to coast am and busting farts in the cockpit trying to gas out my F.O. (or capt.)I don't know, but I don't imagine that you get to do that kind of fun stuff with people on board. Props are cool-it would be nice to be able to blast up and get out of the ice though.


PEACE.

 

[ePilot22]

Testing time

Janet reno or Rosie O'donnell??? Would you rather be Richad Simmons or Madline Albright?

What's the difference?

I guess an ugly chick is like a piston plane.

Ok, just so I understand this now...

Hot chicks and Jet = Blow

Ugly chicks and Pistons = Bang :beer:

Props aren't for planes or boats, but...

what's the big whoop-di-do with jets?


eP.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Having flown a few jets, I can tell you that they are EASIER to fly and make
certain decisions a non issue. If you can fly props, you can fly jets.

Engine out situations also are are usually a non-issue. It's a wonderful
feeling being able to climb 1500 FPM on one engine.

But let's be real about this, I fly for $$. I'll fly a C-152 if paid right. If the
money is the same, I'll take a jet.

He works for Air Midwest or Regions Air!

Now THAT is funny.

PEACE.

Coast to coast am with George Norry. I remember it well. Got hooked on that show flying checks from NEW-ATL every night. Sometimes it would make you wonder what in the heck you may see up in the sky at night.

 

[Going2Baja]

I spent 10 minutes on this and why????

Baja

 

[jeroom]

Come on guys....

Savi Boy asked a simple question....if you have a simple answer then post it... otherwise just keep it quiet!

Now, Saviboy, I know that Airnet has learjets like someone said before, put you'll start in a Baron first, great airplane by the way...

 

[barnyard]

Did i stumble into the Regionals forum by accident?

 

[ePilot22]

10 watts...

I spent 10 minutes on this and why????

Entertainment baby, entertainment! Sophistication is not allowed, see below...

Savi Boy asked a simple question....if you have a simple answer then post it... otherwise just keep it quiet!

The answers seemed pretty simpled to me. Or is it that I'm simply pretty?

Of course I'm no Richard Simmons or Madline Albright, but I sure look pretty next to my ugly chick! imp:

RELAX! It's all in good humor!


eP.

 

[Tram]

So.. umm.. who ARE you working for?

Sounds to me like your still instructing, but you wanna sound "cool" so your acting like you already have a job..

You know.. "Hypothetically speaking, what if a friend of mine were to get a wart.. well on his.. you know...umm.. how would I, err.. I mean.. he.. go about getting rid of it" type thing..

 

[saviboy]

U got it buddy!!
we have a winner. you won the big prize. It took several weeks but we finally have someone who discovered the truth. I am still instructing.
It looks so cool to fly a turboprop for minumum wage that I had to do it, I had to lie.
I go to home depot with my fake airline ID and all my aviation tie pins and I wait that an old lady asks me where is the garden departement and then I say with a big smile:
"Ma'am I can't tell you where is the garden departement but I can fly anywhere in the US: I am an airline pilot!"

 

[j41driver]

Do you have any sense of humor?
If you read the previous posts, a guy was calling me a "500 hr wonder". I just tried to answer with a little bit of sarcasm.
Just relax please!

Go back and read it again. Lequip was calling epilot22 a 500 hour wonder, not you.

 

[mav1morrison]

As posted before, Ameriflight, Cherry, USA and Grandaire have jets, some other have turboprops for box hauling. Airnow, Aircargo Carriers Mountain Air Cargo, the later are feeders for UPS and FEDEX so sch's are really descent, pm run layover, am run, and your done, or something close to that. Anyways hope it helps
