Good Luck! There are only about 100 Mesaba pilots looking for jobs there as well.

You could get a crappy freight job at STP and network your but into something good... That's if you really need a job.

Good luck friend...Ive spoken with a few Cheif Pilots with Fortune 500 flght dpts in the past few weeks-months and all have said the same thing....

I hope you know somebody...and even then you have to hope that positions open up

Bemidji Freight posted pilot jobs a couple days ago if that helps.

Anybody heard anything from shwanns?? I submitted a couple weeks ago but didn't hear anything.

msp is also flooded with PDT and horizon peeps trying to break into the corp gigs. not going to happen unless you got some good friends and over 3K in hours for insurance

 

[BengalsFan]

does the schwans job require you to live in Marshall, or can you commute from the cities?

 

[Workin'Stiff]

Pretty sure you have to live in Marshall or close to it..

 

[BengalsFan]

anyone have any info on that bemidji aviation company? I understand the no weekends thing... what about during the week? Is it the late night bank runs? Do they require overnights, or mostly out and backs... and how is the work in an all around sense? Basically I am looking for something in MPLS that doesn't require a ton of overnight travel, and would like to get hours quickly to add to my military time so I can meet the fractionals total time mins.

thanks

I've had a couple of friends who have flow at bemidiji. He was based in Rice Lake WI. He just did a run from Rice Lake to MSP, sat in MSP for some ungodly amount of time and then flew back to Rice Lake. I think he only got something like maybe an hour and half Hobbs per day. I know that they do have the cargo gig with UPS flyin' QueenAir's and BE-99's... I'm also pretty sure they've got a 135 outfit flying KingAirs... I couldn't tell ya specifics though...

 

[BengalsFan]

If you have contact info from your buddy, or if he is a part of this website, I would love to be able to ask him a few questions... if he wouldn't mind, could you pm me with a way to ask him? thanks

 

[Workin'Stiff]

No prob... I'll track him down for ya...

Executive Aviation at FCM is always looking for some suckers...

 

[BengalsFan]

is that the operation that flies King Airs and Beach400s? They want you on a pager for use all the time, with no benefits... right?

Bemidji does have a King Air that they use for Charters. Also they have a contract with Mesaba to fly Mechanics and parts around, Usually in the middle of the night. There biggest contract is with UPS, they have probably 20-25 aircraft dedicated to that. And also a couple of smaller ones for DHL.
