What Fokkers&Beer said is right on. most of the caravan guys have outside sources of income, military retirement, spouses job, etc. They are pretty happy to fly their overgrown C182 back and forth to where ever. The 121 crews, on the other hand, live like freakin' gypsies. If ever there was a pilot group in need of a union it would be them. I hope it works out. While the company blows, the crews are top notch. Good luck and God speed to my former SEA bros. where ever they may be.

You can go straight into the ATR.

And, if you're lucky, you can go directly into the left seat of the ATR if a spot is available, and you have the minimum quals.

Empire has hired 'many' off-the-street captains lately. For both the ATR and the F-27.
 
Hey it's great to "see" all of you again. Fokkers & Beer I will give you a call. ATRCAPT hope to see you on a trip on SW.

Man! I wish I was rich enough to own one of those! Still trying to find a way to get in over 80 hours in a month.

Come to SEA and you will get the 80, but you will also need the Glock to go with it. Always here to help out my home boyz. By the way I
recommend the model 23.

If we ever get rid of "the old reliable", I might just make it back to SEA again some time.

I wouldn't mind having a 19, myself.
 
I agree with Mr Trippe, the model 19 is my choice.
I also would stick with old reliable, especially on those gravy 45 minute runs. Are they just running spare parts around bailing out the ATR?

No we still use the "VAN" to bail both out of trouble.
 
Man, I totally can not sit back and let you guys have all the fun. Oh, the good ol' times of hi jacking a Empire thread to rap about such things as, drinking, puking and drinking and puking together. It was a good time "back in the good old days." Flying the F, drinking the best dam beer EVER, Alaskan Amber and creating overall mayhem.
Even though I wouldn't steer anyone over to Empire (check the countless posts about this same subject ie use the search funtion), I'm so glad that I got to see the places that I did and hang out with my SEA brothers and with the best check airman on the face of the earth, D.P.
It was fun while it lasted and I hope everyone is doing just fine.
And BTW, my mom has a G-19. Get a real Glock like a 27 or at least a 26. Sheesh, buy any gun while you still can President Pantsuit is coming.
 
Bling as always good to here from you. Hey you missed out the other day. It was my turn to puke, I wish I said it was way toooooo much beer, but alas it was bad food. Some day over a beer I will tell you all about it. Great fun. Oh yea the best part was the it was the FO's first trip up to JNU. Hey PM me soon and let me know what is going on. By the way Duddy has changed his mind and is not comming over right is the rumor.

That's too bad. I was looking forward to that "what have I done" look. It's kind of like that part in Shawshank Redemption when they all line up to watch the new fish coming off the bus.
Did you get sick off the Frontier Suites goremet brown bag lunch?
I'll give you a call before we head to Viet-freaking-nam!
 
Hey you big fed. Hows things on the government side? Just once I would like to be the guy who makes people tremble when I hand them my business card.
How's the family and the little one?
Hope all is bueno.
 
When you are as ougly as I am you always make people tremble when you hand them a business card.
Seriously I hope all is well in India. If I get over there this month I will drop you a line.
 
fokkers & beer, how time flies! I remember when you brought your 150 over to the shop and James would wrench on it. Now MD-11's!

congrats!

Mike
