Question for Ferry Pilot

[PacoPollo]

See the problem is your helping aircraft owners whilst not helping your brother commercial pilots. Plus I beleive that ALPA would have something to say about you using the jumpseat for a business function. You are very well aware what it's meant to be used for.

So far you are:
1. undercutting other ferry pilots who do this to make a living
2. contributing to the downward spiral of the industry
3. Taking a job which would primarily be done by low timers and professional ferry pilots.
4. Misusing the jumpseat.

If word gets around as to why you are jumpseating you might find that you start getting denied.

This is just my opinion so take it for what its worth but I really think what your doing stinks.

I wish we had a Union amigo.Im not undercutting no one. Im just trying to survive like you in this business.I got to take care of my family down the border.

I think Espalda Mojado and PacoPollo the same guy. On every thread one always posts about how proud they are to work for peanuts and right away the other replies in lockstep.

We could always ask a mod to look at the IP's and tell us!! I don’t think the guy is smart enough to use a proxy!!!

This comment strengthens my opinion on closing off our borders to immigration of new humans in to this country unless they can be financially responsible and not take jobs form people that have families to support here in the US!!! Look at immigrating to any other country usually you have to have financial stability or deposit a large sum of money in to an account or invest in to the country economy!

A good example of our new low-cost aircraft ferry service is www.flyit4u.com.

We will only use experienced professional pilots with over 2000 flight hours to provide ferry services to customers. I already have over 10 ATPs from all over the US who want to sign up and do some fun flying on their days off. These pilots have countless hours of transcontinental and oceanic crossing flight time. Most of these pilots also have a CFI and are willing to provide low-cost instruction to the owner/operators of the airplanes.

One attractive feature of our network is that we will allow less experienced pilots to fly right seat for a nominal hourly fee. These pilots will build valuable experience, and the fees will help to pay for the expenses of the PIC. That way , some of our flights will actually be free of cost to the customer, except for fuel and government fees. This will be a great way to do some recreational flying and give back to the aviation community.

Thats a tremendous Idea! Put this 200-500hr wonders in the right seat of a 172 and charge them a fee.They would log it since its dual given.
BTW me and E.Mojado are not the same .

Well someone like myself that ferry’s airplanes for a Living take’s pride in the industry, their quality of work and we love to fly. Since I Started this adventure almost a year ago I have found out that most any person with morals will support the U.S. economy rather than someone that will do it for free.


I have ferried a few airplanes that have been abandoned by their ferry pilots and have had numerous conversations with customers that have been/or have had their airplane abandoned by the airline pilot or free pilot. The number one reason for being abandoned is that they had to return to their airline job or their regular day job and did not have time to finish due to weather or minor mechanical issue.


The ATP’s that are defrauding their employers by using their jump seat privileges in furtherance of a business or for financial gain is not moral or ethical and I would not want them flying any of my aircraft.

hahaha, I don’t think that would work out very well! I don't know of any private pilot or commercial pilot that’s going to pay for 2 1 way airline tickets + pay for instruction, food, lodging, ground, transportation, etc. for a meager amount of flight time in an unknown airplne wich usually is in questionable condition maintained by god who knows, they would be better off renting or starting their own business ferrying airplanes.

There are plenty of 100hr-200hr pilots that dont wanna do the CFI route.Plus you gt to fly x-xountry most of the time till they log 500hr to get a descent sic job.
