Can anyone tell me the name of some reputable ferry companies tha are out there? I know NW is self employed, but are there companies that hire ferry pilots to do this?
Do companies like Cessna, Piper, etc use in-house ferry pilots or do they contract them out to a company?

All are contracted out except for Columbia Aircraft! I have picked up a few new Cessna's in Independence, KS. There is really no Domestic ferry work out there if thats what your looking for all the biz. is international.
 
And in female human hunting.
 
Thank you Avbug for those names. I think that is the type of info I was looking for.

Yes, I am looking for international work. Particularly I am looking to ferry aircraft to/from Europe. I have heard Southern Cross does mostly trans-pacific ferries. I will go to the site later and check them out.

I am currently a newby CFI with about 500 TT. So this is something I am looking to get into after I gain more experience.
 
QP,

You might try Barron Thomas, then. He uses pilots with your experience range to move things like Cessna 172's and 210's around the country, as well as pilots of other experience levels to move other airplanes around, too.

I think he requires 700TT and you to relocate to AZ pays $125.00 a day when flying. 1 to 2 planes a month. He also wants you to have airline passes. Thats the info I got when I called once on his advertisement for employment. It's better to get hooked up with a few good brokers they will keep you busy.

I am hooked with a few brokers now. I got my Pick of a few flight's but I am holding out for the multi's and the caravans. The AC-500 will be ready to go again soon.

Nope, this AC-500 don't have an autopilot! It was something mechanical so keep guessing I will tell you all what happened when it gets to it's destination.

Flying to Bend. OR to grab a COL4 to take to it's new owner. Later
 
Can't tell when you don't have any? Sorry NW, but you just can't jump into a 'Van and fly away with it. I've known of plenty of PT6's that have been fried by pilots that were supposed to have been properly trained to operate them. Not to mention you need to know the electrical system very well before you go on a long flight. What you don't know about that airplane will kill you very quickly... no matter how docile a reputation it has.

He thinks that he can fly a turbine just because he heard one start across the ramp.

Just wondering if you let your clients know about the turbine time?
