New base hopeful for Airnet

[Ridgewoodpilot]

Just wondering if anyone knows, or have even heard if Airnet was considering opening any bases in the Long Island NY or the Newburgh NY areas? I would definitely consider becoming a lifer at that point. (providing I get a job with them).

Unless something has changed in a very drastic way during the last 4 months or so, I think the closest you're going to get to Long Island would be the base at Teterboro.

Thanks Prince, hopefully the chances are good as far as getting based in that location go.

TEB is routinely open......

Also curious to how often pilots get transferred as per company order?

Be willing to live anywhere for a year or lie through your teeth if you want the interview. PS there is only 1 Lear PIC in TEB and he's definitely a lifer.

Best of Luck

I think if he wants to live in the New York area he probably only needs to be able to live somewhere else for 3 months at the most. At least for the props. If you lie during your interview it will probably come up in training.

I have to say 3 months is better than a 1 year, but then again who's to know. I am definetely a fan of airnet and have been following this company since US check days. I'd love to eventually work for the company and hope to one fine day. Again having the house, wife and newborn at home puts some time on for extra planning but where there's a will. Thank you for the input gentlemen and would always appreciate any input you have.

Oh, and by the way Chickenwolf looking at your type ratings, you wouldn't happen to be that one lifer at TEB on the Lear?

Bases

Not to hijack the thread, but since we are talking about bases, what would the chances of a new hire getting BHM, BNA, or MEM be? How long would the wait be for one of these bases after getting hired in your opinion?

Additionally, do all new hires go to the Baron or do some get the Caravan? Thank you in advance.
