Hiring at majors

[suupah]

Hey, I know that this may not belong in this forum but I am thinking of going to a beech 1900 operation and I was wondering how the majors view flight time in this kind of plane compared to an RJ? Is turbine pic the same regardless of the plane?

thanks

With your spaceshuttle time you will be a shoe-in.

Actually SATURN IV time. But that is only single engine so I guess it doesn't count for much.

Actually, the Saturn IV had something like 5 engines in the first stage (I think).

Okay, I'll shut up now before you start thinking I'm some kind of NASA geek...

I'll be the space geek for a second

The Saturn IV, more commonly called the S-IVB, was the second stage of the Saturn IB booster and the third stage to the Saturn V moon rocket. It was powered by one J-2 engine that used liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen as propellents. The Saturn V did have five engines on its first stage (The F-1, which developed 1.5 million pounds apiece burning RP-1 and liquid oxygen).
Sorry, I sound like such a geek, but I love that stuff.

Lord have mercy, I have trouble lighting a bottle rocket, let alone what it makes it zoom in the air.

suupah-

To get back to your Q...

Getting turbine PIC is the ticket.

I got hired with King and 1900 only time.

Hey Borat,

You need to tour Scaled Composites at MHV if you haven't already (they say they don't do tours but if you tell them your a pilot and ask very nicely you'll get one). I did it a couple months ago and it was very cool. BTW, Burt says, "Hi."

 

[RichardFitzwell]

Oh, by the way Borat, they made me promise not to tell anyone about the tour so keep this between us. Thanks.
