Flight Options MCO?

[mu2]

Flight Options website lists ATL and DEN to chose from for domiciles. How long does it take, on average, to get MCO? Do you airline into your trip?

I believe the pilots from the last hiring class (2 years ago??) are still in their ATL domiciles, and won't get to change until we have a contract.

Are you considering applying at FlOps? If you've not done so, I encourage you to do a search and read up on the current state of affairs. FlOps is NOT a good place to be at the moment, nor for the forseeable future.

Dude, unless you are blind, crippled or crazy, you don't want to even think about Flops. Things are so screwed up at this company you would be better off staying a flight instructor or working at a crap bag fright operation. Untill we get a contract Flops is an employment undesirable.

Flops??? Turn And Run!!!!!! And, Don't Look Back.

I know. I don't want to go there and stay forever. The wife wants to move to MCO for a better job opportunity for her. I just need something to hold me over until I can get to some FBOs and network with some other companies. This would be my first try at the 135 world. I am at Piedmont not so things can't get much worse for me. I think I might need to take a step back to take a step foward.

Does Flops type their F/Os?

Thanks Guys

Yes they type the FOs, but you then have to sign a training contract. Net Jets types theirs too.

Why not go to Net Jets? With the new base list that they are going to vote on MCO would be a choice. Plus, you wouldnt have to network with anyone else if you did that.

Piedmont, Huh? Ask around and see what your fellow workers know about flops.

I would like to go to NJ but I can't wait that long for an interview right now. I will put Flops as my last option but I still need to look at it.

I am also looking at Air Logic Solutions out of Lakeland, but have yet to find much on them.

Asking other Pied-monsters is a bad idea. Most of them are just looking for the flowthru and can't answer any of my questions. Most say "Flight who?"

Thanks, over

Flops hasnt started to interview anyone yet. They arent even sure if they are going to this year.

You will probably stuck in ATL or DEN until the second contract . The first is just setting things straight for the current pilots. Plus there will probably be 8 to 10 years before you can upgrade from the right seat of the beechjunk.

If you don't have any jet time keep looking elsewhere I have been hearing things about how tough the check rides are and how many who were hired in the last round were washed out before getting on line.

With all of the problems here the current pilot work force is not receptive to new hires AT THIS TIME !!!
Things might change in the future..

Keep that in mind before you apply.

That's exactly what I'm doing. PBI based to start class. I live in MCO. We'll see what happens with the IBB. May not have to do the drive at all when I'm online. Took about 6 months from them receiving my app. till receiving a class date if you are wondering on the approx. timeline.

Personally, I'd stay at Piedmont for now and get your stuff in at NetJets in the meantime. I think the wait would be worth the reward in the long run.

Another company with an Orlando base (SFB) is Allegiant. They are hiring a lot of guys right now. I had an offer from them prior to interviewing at NetJets. Hope that helps somewhat.
