Pilots leaving Avantair for Twin Otter 135 Job

[flyzimex]

Why not have some fun hand-flying the steam gauges for a while?

I only wish more of us could have the experience of something like that.

Hey FW, why don't you come over here to the Saharas and fly my Twotter so I can fly your shiny jet .

As far as the handling of an airplane that NWA cap is right, one do learn have to handfly well and take the plane into some short and tricky runways. That's a skill I hope I can have use of once I one day get into a bizjet.

Married couple, job is 'home every night', and they used to work there.

This is a real long shot but their names wouldn't be Bob and Kathleen, would they?

some of the best flights I have ever had were in the Twotter flying over the canyon, getting paid for it was just icing on the cake

Too bad the icing was always spread so thin!

Naw. He's flying a Hawker for NJ and she's on medical leave from FLOPS.

I find it interesting that everyone who's bashing Avantair on this thread doesn't work here. Been here over three years and still enjoying it. The couple who left wanted to be home every night and the Twotter job offered them that.

That's funny. I didn't realize that their names were so infamous!

From where did you know them? For me, it was Grand Canyon flying back in 1990.

Does Bob still talk about people having "good stickmanship"?

 

[gutshotdraw]

I'm guessing we know each other Larry. Does the jingle "Air Nevada....like we really care...." ring any bells?

Just ran into Bob last week, ironically enough. He didn't mention "stickmanship" but I think I actually like that term and may steal it....

I'm guessing we know each other Larry.

Yes, we just might!

Tried to send you a PM but you have it turned off. Can you PM me with contact info? I'm sending an email to my "best guess" of who you might be.

As someone that has worked for Avantair, there was never a happier day while I was there, then the day I quit! Now, I fly something bigger, faster, and I'm home every night.
