my understanding of mountain air cargo is that you HARDLY fly......do not consider it a "time building" job

Mountain Air

Not a time building job unless you get certain routes. I had a friend who flew there a couple of years ago, he said the pay was good for a regional job and home every day, weekend off. Pay was high 20's for a F27 F/O position. I think he flew chatanooga sp? to memphis and back, 3-4 hrs a day. They had regular raises etc too. One of the Fed Ex feeders.

I fly for Ram Air and we are currently not hiring. Also, I believe Sabre is out of business, since we had an ex-Sabre pilot in our last class. I've heard Package Express is hiring. Their new HQ is at Concord Regional (JQF).

keep in mind the most important thing you need to do well on an interview with package or ramex.....

can you taxi an airplane at 50kts?

 

[prodigal]

Actually taxi speed vaires by aircraft. To be technically correct you will have to taxi in ground effect, whatever the airspeed.
Also, "how much do you need me to weigh?"
You'll have fun!

 

[upndsky]

50 Kts!? Man, you're slowing us down. Get out of the way.

Seriously, though, this kind of flying will give you an incredible amount of experience. At the end of the day, you'll piss vinegar and sh!t steel turds. During an airline interview, your counterparts will be sweating the sim ride while you're yelling "Bring it on!" and complaining because the intern set the ceiling to 300 AGL instead of 100.

Once a freightdog, always and freightdog. And darn proud of it!

Is a girl by the name of Lotta still at Ram Air? I went to flight school with her in Conway, SC. I think she's either from Sweden or Norway--can't remember. Short red-headed girl. The guy who hit the tower a couple of years ago was also in my class.

Is Tarheel Aviation in OAJ (Jacksonville, NC) still around?

 

[upndsky]

Nope,

Last time I was there (~6 months ago), there was a new FBO. Just fuel and some flight training. Nice little airport but not much happening there.

 

[BoxFlyr]

i think telford aviation bought tarheel, and now air now has bought telford

As of January Lotta did still work at Ram Air. Just had a baby too.
