Thanks to everyone for all the info! I live just east of Birmingham and still looking for another full time job! Maybe Spring will bring some new jobs to town!!

Yea....5000 feet of runway is plenty for takeoff usually, but yes...range may be a factor!!

Citation Job in AL

There are 2 Citations in Jasper, thats it. There is a new CJ2 in Hamilton, but they are flying it SP, occasional co-pilot. As for Warren's Flight Dept. they recently brought in another pilot and I hear that is all they are going to have on salary. They do use contract pilots a good bit. King Air mins for them (PIC) are in the 3000 TT range, 500 multi, w/ turboprop time if you have flown w/ them so they know you. Don't know what the mins for the CJ's they have are, but they are significantly higher.

Anybody know who is looking for the Lear drivers in AL?
Any planejob members feel free to chime in.

Jeez.......We used to run 737's into 6500 foot strips, and that was under all the 121 rules. You could land a Seminole 3 times on a 5000 footer!

I do know Gulfstreams will do 5000 feet. Don't know if they are at gross weight when they do it though.

KS,

My personal favorite was when we used to land the B737-300 or 200 at SNA (John Wayne/ OC)... 5,700' looks like a postage stamp on approach

Yea, My company used to run a 757 in to SNA a few years back.

C650 a runway hog? A local operator occasionally has one or both of his into and out of their family-owned 3800 x 40, for maintenance I assume. I'll bet that's a butt tightener on final.

Don't even consider that Citation operator out of MOB, CSI, unless you want to have the dubious distinction of being THE lowest paid Citation pilot in the US.

That's not a flight department, that's a shelter for battered pilots.

We used to fly a C560XL that had no problem getting in and out of a 3600' strip at a field elevation of 3300'.

Civilian's version of a carrier landing...lot's of fun! (too bad it was the only fun thing about that job)

We interviewed a guy who was chief pilot on a 500 based somewhere up by Gadsden who was making a whopping 26K. Is it worse than that?

Hell, that's like getting a million in New York. Just think of all the broken washers and dryers you can buy with that dough to put on the front lawn.
