Barnyard, when are you gonna give up that dream?

Citabria, you made it through dog wistle training! Congrats. D

Thanks for the info. Where do pilots typically go after their time there? Do you see many staying, regionals, majors? What's the avg upgrade from the 99 to the 1900?

 

[citabriapilot]

Upgrade time is all about timing. I've seen guys take close to a year to move up after the 99 here in Salt Lake and I've seen as low as 2-3 months. Just depends. 6 months would probably be a good ballpark.

As far as where people go... Some are going to places like NetJets, others to independent corporate outfits, air ambulances, Frontier/Southwest/UPS/Southwest, etc. It varies.

How many hours a month are pilots getting out of SLC?

 

[citabriapilot]

Realistically, it ranges from 25-40 hours per month.

The longest run does close to 100 hours a month, but its very senior.

Besides AMF, there's Corporate Air (FX caravans), Western Air express (UPS metros), and Salmon Air (UPS cheiftains). I hear Salmon is losing their passenger routes to Mesa however, so who knows what will happen with their cargo operation.
Also, If you're into bank work, there's I've seen a PC-12, and a couple C402s around, and possibly a mitsubishi rice grinder.

Do you know who operates the PC-12?

What are your schedules like? 5 on 2 off? Are you pretty happy there?

 

[tinman]

5 on, 2 off. Sat. available if you want it. Concerning Citabria, quoting the famed Kip Winger, he "can't get enough, it's never enough"

I don't know who flies the PC12, but they park in front of JET CENTER if that helps any. A friend of mine tells me that the pilot just signed a year long contract so I don't think there's an opportunity for a while.
