Dual Rated

[AKAAB]

Just a WAG, but I'm betting you'll need 1000 and at least 200 turbine. Plus, for the Agusta they used to insist on the factory training. (Is Larry Graves still the CP for Agusta?)

AKAAB,
Honeywell is looking for dual rated pilots but they require 4000 hrs of FW time. Maybe a good job for you that pays a lot more than the airlines and you still get to fly helicopters (AW-139).

Sorry it was 2000 hours, here is the link.

Does anyone have the name of the Chief Pilot and the address of their Flight Operations Department? Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the lead, but it's not for me. I left the vagaries of corporate flying so I could be home enough to watch my little kids grow up. I've got a nearly perfect schedule, a pretty solid paycheck, and seniority in the top 40 (out of 2000).

I'm going to have to get back in a helicopter on my own dime, I think.

Keep posting great leads like this, though. We have a lot of dual-rated brothers and sisters out there looking for a job like this.

This is a crazy business. I left the vagaries of airline flying for a corporate job! I am virtually home every night too vs. night after night in hotels with the airlines.

 

[AKAAB]

I limit my nights away from home to a max of 4 a month. Many months I don't do any layovers at all, but that is all because I got my foot in the door at the right time.

There are some fantastic flight departments out there, but I can't say I ever worked for one of them. Just ditching the pager and not being expected to be on call 24/7 (in case the bosses wife needed to rush to South Beach because she heard Marla Trump was out partying) made the move worth it! (For real...)

Heyas,

Dual rated here. Had a commerical/ME/CFI/CFII fixed wing when I started the heilo thing. A guy was trying to start a rotorwing-instrument program back in the day when the insurance companies were starting to push for them. He subsidized a chunk of my transition cost if I worked for him for a year.

I wound up with my ATP-Rotor/CFI-H/CFII-H and about 800 heilo, with most of that dual given. Back in the early 90's, it was a dead end, and the airlines offered a better top end, so I went back to FW.

I've dabbled bit in trying to get a corporate dual rated job, but they are very tough if you are a FW heavy guy. I certainly wouldn't cough up the $$ for RW if that's what you're thinking of doing, because you will be starting from scratch as far as employers are concerned.

Most dual rated jobs go to RW heavy guys that happen to have FW ratings, and generally not the other way around. Most "postings" for jobs like this are already filled, and the posting is only for legal purposes. But, as always in the corporate world, there is the chance of falling into something. I got a very decent CFI gig because I was dual rated, so you never know.

In a similar vein, is there any way to do some part-time helo work, with a full time FW job at an airline or something like that. I mean, I guess it's possible--anything is, right? But I guess what I'm wondering is there a market for part time helo work?

I would only imagine if you had the required heilo time. Most employers I've seen are pretty much unimpressed with any kind of FW time, and you need the same quals as a heilo only guy.

The other issue is flighttime/dutytime. Anything you get paid for counts towards your flight time/duty time limits.
