RCY (Package Express) is always looking for pilots. Interviews can be arranged and will be held at JQF with the Dir of Ops and Chief pilot. The fax at our new location is 704 795 1612, Attn Tyson. IFR Part 135 WX mins apply. If you are scared of weather, don't bother. Start in PA32 and move up to PA34 or C402 in 6-8 months. Bases include JQF, CLT, CAE, and others possible with growth. Flexibility a must.

Scared of WX?

What do you mean by "scared of weather?" You want idiots to fly through anything and never cancel or delay a trip.

If there's a squall line between you and your destination 50 or 100 miles away you want people to fly through it in a non-radar equipped plane? Going down to minimums, holding, IFR, iffy MX decisions, etc... are all part of the job, but taking stupid risks because you're 18- 60 and bullet proof or simply to cowardly to stand up to management is not professional and not worth it.

Been there, done that... and learned my lesson well. It's a lesson I'd rather have learned from reading and following good advice than on my own. I ruined a perfectly good pair of underwear.

I think that last point fits the definition of MOOT.

As used in a sentence...."It was a MOOT point for the guy that was scared of weather to respond to a want ad for a job where they were looking for someone to apply that wasn't scared of the weather".

No fears here--just a lot of respect fo the weather. I fly a 210 with no radar, no stormscope, no strikefinder--nothing. After a while you learn how to read the clouds in front of you, know what to expect, and do a great deal of LISTENING on the radio to get a mental picture of who's deviating where. Listening to the ADF and counting lightning strikes can tell you the intensity of a storm. You're right Wolffman--can't be scared of the weather to do this job, but you do have to respect it and know that it can jump out and bite you if you're not careful. In 13 months, I've only not flown 1 leg due to weather. I'm not bragging and I'm in no way bulletproof, but I did it today, I'll do it again tomorrow, and the next day. Got a t-shirt---infact I make the freight dog t-shirts. More shirts to come soon.
