Falcon Driver,
I wanted to touch base with my favorite forum and let you guys know that Corporate Aviation is alive and well. I am fortunate to be working at an FBO here in town and had met the owner of a company that has a Lear 24 and 35. Recently he put the 35 out with EBiz (?) for 135 work. I happen to park them one night when they came in and asked him what a 1000 CFI could do to build turbine time. He offered me a job flying SIC in the 35. Talk about being blessed. One minute I am just a CFI, now I am somebody!! Of course, I am kidding (about being somebody that is!) but found myself 2 days later taking a flight test in his 24. Things went as well as could be expected, seeing as I have never even been in a small jet. But, as of last Thursday, I was informed by the Cheif Pilot that I would be going to Simuflite for SIC school next month.
My question is, what can I expect for starting pay? What is life like as a 135 pilot? Man, I could go on and on. I have several questions, but feel that they will be answered in time.
I know that the other FO and I will be slipping seats every 5-6 days, according to the CP. So I eagerly await the job offer that is to be mine oin a few weeks!!
Ron
PS Any GOOD advice will be appreciated!!
