Drift: Is Evergreen getting 400 BCF's or second hand 400 Freighters?

 

[propsarebest]

A friend in training said that the hiring numbers could be bumped up from 40 to 60 this year. 6 additional planes on the way instead of 3.

 

[Captain Oveur]

It tells me how old I'm getting, to hear
-400s referred to as 'second hand'

 

[Sir Innocenti]

sad huh? kinda freaks me out too.....

 

[tubineotter]

be careful what u hear from friends in training they are up in mickeyville way to close to the emerald palace and the cool aid swilling mngmt. 400's at ez when they are here ill believe it and then ill still be sceptical. u cant make any money with 400's

 

[propsarebest]

First one will be in JFK on 02apr...

And that is confirmed.

 

[tubineotter]

I say i say i say again u cant make money with a 400. we are short of crews to fly them any how LK&slappy cant cover all the trips. im surprised we are not buying ups's dc-8s they are for sale and half the crews here would only have to go thru recurrent

[Zoneload]

If it is CU then he will be one of the DC-8 guys..

 

[Nevergreen]

And if Bauer is to be believed......they can't make money with classics either.


So what's the latest on 485. Is it headed to the bone yard due to the tail damage?

 

[propsarebest]

The tail is fixed. The fuselage crown however...

 

[Nevergreen]

dare I ask....what happened now?

didn't 485 just come out of a check in Xiamen?

 

[Zoneload]

A little trouble coming out of the hanger...

 

[avbug]

I say i say i say again u cant make money with a 400.

Wrong!!

 

[Nevergreen]

A little trouble coming out of the hanger...

From a previous post, I thought the tail was fixed due to the hangar damage........

Is this something new or it is still damaged from the hangar incident?

 

[propsarebest]

same hangar,different incident. They were rolling it out of the hangar when the new incident happened.

 

[Nevergreen]

You have got to be kidding.......

 

[propsarebest]

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

 

[tubineotter]

[Nevergreen]

It is time for Del to retire!

And then bring on the -400's!

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!

 

[Sir Innocenti]

Damnit...wish I could get called....always wanted to fly for Evergreen so I could do my side biz.....

 

[spitfire1500]

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.
