500h Turbine PIC!!!!!!!!!!!! With that I'd go elsewhere!!

Just curious, where would you go??

 

[FlyHigher]

Continental, Frontier, Cathay, any second tier cargo operator.....

Also, at 500h turbine PIC, I'd continue wherever I am at for another 6 months until I got 1000...and then i meet pretty much anybody's minimums.

Granted the minimums don't get you a job, but they also won't at DayJet.

I just think they will have trouble finding as many pilots as they need at those reqs (if their ops will take off at the level they hope)

Do you have other ideas?

 

[Denizen]

I have no idea if DayJet will work or not. I have my doubts.
But is it really so easy to get a job a Continental, Cathay Pacific, Frontier or any second tier cargo operator? Just apply and start ground school the following monday?

Will the QOL and $$ be as good?

 

[FlyHigher]

Am not sure if it is, I guess not, reading all the posts on this board. But who tells you it will be easy at DayJet? I am just saying that they post minumums in the same ballpark as all the majors - granted for a CA, but its a small plane...

Last we heard Eclipse failed the wing stress test with the FAA. I would be curious to see where this leads...

Where is this documented? I can't find any results on google. As far as Eclipse is concerned, "Eclipse Aviation Projects Eclipse 500 Certification in the Coming Weeks," and that was on the 25th of June.

Hm ok, I don't see where it says they failed FAA structural testing.

Because they never did "fail" structural testing...
