Evergreen updates?

[propsarebest]

Nope. After the tail was fixed they started pushing the plane out of the hangar and it was hit...

You make it sound like running the Gauntlet!! Groundschool is like anywhere else, you study you will pass. Sim training I found easier than my RJ training was. Sim training at EZ is pretty much handled by retired United 747 drivers, very easy to deal with and they will help you out (guess thats why its called training). You will run through a Nav class for plotting and carrying out oceanic crossings but the bulk of it is done on IOE. Groundschool is in McMinnville, sim is at UA in DEN. The 400 training is all done in DEN. Instructors great, very experienced and also do training for UPS and Airforce 1 aerial refuel training.
In groundschool blend in don't stick out is my main advice if you come aboard as a new hire!! As stated here by others, the schedules aren't for everyone and some of the destinations aren't either....but the flying is the funnest I've ever done!

If you think that is fun you should come fly in Alaska!

Is there still hiring going on?

 

[ABUSED PILOT]

I think they are still are filling up the pilot pool .

 

[propsarebest]

There were a couple of interviews last week, for the mar-apr schoolhouse.

It sounds like interviews are going to happen at least until Sept.

 

[Frank Towns]

I was on their website and don't see a link for hiring pilots. Do you mail resumes or what is the typical process? I'm current and qualified on the 400, and soon to be out of work.

Fleet

What does the current fleet consist of, including the LCF?

What does the current fleet consist of, including the LCF?

APC says 9 -200s and 4 -LCFs. Evergreen is getting 3-6 400s this year but I'm not sure if they are for growth or replacement of 200s.

 

[ABUSED PILOT]

Just heard 2 of the 400s will be replacements for classic 747-200 going to the bone yard. It would take someone at the very top going away before we get 6 400s on the property. The hotel and water park come first.

They come first until September... after that, WHO KNOWS.

 

[propsarebest]

Ohh, the 3 BCF's WERE supposed to replace the 3 JT9 powered SF's.

One just got a new skin, so that POS is gonna be around for a little longer.

Thanks for the update, glad to see that you guys getting some more 400's

 

[tubineotter]

good thing we are getting more 400's cause atlas is going to be getting 4 LCF's come sept!

 

[Zoneload]

Where did you hear that? Did Boeing cancel the contract with Evergreen?

 

[tubineotter]

just doom and gloom rumors. the contract is up for review every 5 years. evergreen has done a stellar job with the LCF. But its hard to say with boeing. Atlas was in the running initially. just fishing for info from atlas crews.

 

[Zoneload]

Doom and gloom keeps us going I guess..If we get some 400's then I can have the doom and gloom guys doing the AMC flying also.

Have they pulled it SAFELY out of the hangar yet? That task seems to be beyond JFK maintenance's capability.
