Ram Air Freight Needs Pilots

[Flyin Tony]

What kind of GPS do the planes have?

 

[Big Dog]

All our planes have the Apollo GX50, most with the Apollo external CDI. And the cards are updated every 28 days. All the approaches we do are basically ILS/LOC/LDA or GPS.

Have fun a Comair pushing RJ's man! You deserve it!!!

 

[ilkwamh2]

I won't have to fly through the icing and the thunderstorms anymore!!! well maybe I do, it's just that I'll have better ice protection and storm scope.

I've been at Ram since last August and it's been a great 7 months there...good people(well mostly) and great experience. After being there for a few months, you won't be afraid to fly through low IFR, fog, snow, or windy conditions. I'm still afraid of ICE and always will be. Won't even have ice in my Coke now.

Right now we are hurting for people cause everyone is leaving, and we prefer that you have low Multi-time, 15-25 hrs. that way you'll stay longer. Bidding for the runs is done on a 3 month basis and on seniority number. If you're outbased at city A, someone who's base is in city B with a higher seniority number cannot bid for your run in city A. Only people who is at the same base as you can outbid you. You can only bid for another base if someone from that base leaves. Hope I have not confused you.

Sad as it may seem, you probably had a better storm scope in the Baron than you will in the RJ The radar is a piece of sh...err, is sometimes less than optimal.

Welcome to Comair.

Unless freight has changed in the last few years, I doubt he had any radar at all in the Baron.

Then he'll feel right at home in the RJ

 

[ilkwamh2]

I was flying the Senecas and only one of them has a stormscope. I guess what I meant originally was that at least I would have a stormscope in the RJ.

[l-ron]

does anyone know how long it will be to upgrade to the twin in orlando?

 

[Big Dog]

None of the FL runs are in a twin yet.

 

[l-ron]

any idea of which city has the quickest upgrade?

 

[Big Dog]

See the previous posts, you could get a twin 2 weeks after you start training, it's all a matter of what's open at the time. The key is not to get your heart set on any particular city if a twin run is your goal.

 

[ilkwamh2]

The reason why there are twin runs is due to the icing up north, so I don't think FL will ever have any twin runs, unless the banks are willing to pay extra for it. The lances are mostly based down South or in RDU, the Barons are mostly in RDU, and the Seneca's are all outbased. So if you want a twin run, your chances of getting the Baron in RDU are very slim, as I think there are only 2 or 3 twin runs out of RDU. I think Baltimore is the best chance of getting a twin run since the duty day up in Baltimore is the longest and everyone tries to get a different run after being up in Baltimore for 2 weeks.

 

[Big Dog]

Bump, we're still looking for a few good pilots.

 

[Flyin Tony]

How are the Seneca II in icing?

 

[upndsky]

Not bad. They'll haul around a ton of ice. Normally, the Seneca is a POS, but in icing, I would take it over a Baron or a C-402 any day.
