When you guys are flying contract on one aircraft are you generally paid during training whether it be recurrent, medical, or otherwise?
When you fly "contract" you only get paid for the days you fly. When you're at training its usually your own expense, so why would anyone be paying you?
Don't really get the question...........whats "medical or otherwise"?
Oh and any suggestions for global nav schools, not looking for just a pencil whip, I'm looking for actual learning. It's been over 10 years since I was in a global nav class.
You paying for that training yourself or is it a company you're with?
My friend got hired to fly a Global Express in January this year and he had never been across the Pacific or Atlantic before, not to mention he only had 300 hours in fixed wing jet aircraft, 80 of which was on the Global. Pretty lucky guy.
But he had to sit through a 5 day school with an instructor that the company hired because every flight they do is Atlantic crossings to Europe and he didn't know what a plotting chart was.
I can ask who they used for the International Training, it was a company where they got this guy from.
My friend said it was the best training he could have asked for. I think it was like $400 a day that the guy got paid.
