Ram Air Freight is looking for qualified pilots for June classes.
Ram Air Freight is a growing Part 135 air courier operator that has been in business since 1982, with 12 bases scattered throughout the Southeast.
With a regular schedule of Monday through Friday assignments, the majority of the routes are day/afternoon runs instead of the back side of the clock schedule like most cargo outfits. It therefore allows you to be home every night and have a “normal” life outside of your job while gaining the invaluable experience of single pilot, multi engine, all weather operations.
There is no minimum multi engine time requirement for applying. Thanks to a 65% twin to single engine airplane ratio upgrades range between 2 weeks to 2 months after the initial checkride, depending upon the employee’s flexibility to relocate.
Training lasts a full week and incorporates in depth ground and flight training, during which Ram Air Freight provides housing. The company will also pay applicants for the week of training at the normal daily rate, provided they successfully pass the initial company checkride.

In order to qualify applicants MUST meet Part 135 IFR minimums, be actively flying and
instrument proficient, and more generally be capable of reaching checkride standards within 6 hours of flight training.


Benefits include Blue Cross Blue Shield, dental insurance, Simple IRA retirement plan jumpseat privileges.
More information is available on www.ramairfreight.com.

No phone calls.
 
Arn't they pretty much always hiring, just like all the bank check haulers?
 
They're paying for the whole week of training now? That's a nice change.
 

IF they pass their checkride. That's a big if!

Maybe they are always hiring because alot of pilots are always leaving,since no one likes to be dumped on NON-STOP!!!!!!
 
Pay at Ram Air is pretty good compared to the regional FO positions offered, and you get to be the Captian of your own ship. Every pilot should spend a year flying the line as a freightdog. It builds self-reliance, weather knowledge, compotence in all types of approaches and aircraft, and... you learn to multi-task like nobody's business. Ram Air has been good to me. I like being home every night, having weekends off, and the benefits. If you come here with your eyes wide open, what you see is what you get... nothing more and nothing less. Most pilots leave here because their plan was to move on anyway. They are finding it easy to get jobs partly because employers see the Ram Air type experience as very valuable. Ta da!
 
Does the company have a policy on using handheld GPS's? It sure would be nice to use something like a Garmin 396 with the datalink weather.

What is it? $85 a day ($425 a week). You guys get a $2000 bonus for putting up with the BS after a year. Couple routes you get 2 hours a day flight time with 8 hours of waiting time. Not exactly a good time building gig. But you are right, go in with your eyes wide open and what you see is what you get. But if you want to fly there, well you should know their safety record is not exactly the best in the business. However, most of their problems this year seem to be pilot induced.
