No, that's my correct time, I just started the IFR course and should be finished with IFR/COMM/ME/CFI/CFII/MEI within the next six months. I've finally saved enough ca$h to start seriously training and I'm only "gearjamming' part time...FN FAL said:You know what, that one came up for bid several times over the last year, but not recently.
The company does it's best to try to hire people to fit the jobs, IE: if you live in the town and you happen to be under the advertised mins, but have good references...you got the job.
I'd say if you are interested...send a resume in with a cover letter expressing an interest. They will call you when a position opens opens up and it has been bid and no one takes it.
You have to remember, unless someone really wants to move at their own expense, the bidding process is just a formality so they don't wind up hiring someone and getting a call from some ticked off pilot that may have wanted to move to that job.
Yes, there is a guy that wants to take the ESC run and move at his own expense, but that situation is very rare.
If you live in the FSD area, I'd let them know you are interested. If you look good to them, they may just hire you as a FSD floater, just to bring you on till something opens up that you can bid on. I'm not promising anything, but you never know till you try!
In theory, if they hire you as an FSD floater...you could float throughout the system.
Good luck and don't hesitate to let me know if you need any more information.
Ooooops...I just looked at the time you posted in your specs? 125? I'm assuming if you are asking, that that isn't your real time. You got to be close to the mins...not dead on, but at least close.
I was asking more for future reference since I think I'd like to try to get into "Feeder" Ops after I get the required times....I'm 31 now, and I just don't think that I'd "fit in" at a regional by the time I'd have competitive times...I was interested in FSD because I'm originally from a small town in SD and would perhaps like to return there (IF I can forget those $hitty winters!!) if it would mean a decent job.
I thank you because until now I didn't know who did feeder ops in that area....jeese, first the "corrugated paper" thing and now this!
