Recency of experience

[AA717driver]

I've got a friend who is trying to get back into flying after being out for a couple of years. A couple fracs have the recency of experience requirements that will shoot him down.

Are there any that don't have that requirement or will waive it? He's a former TWA captain w/10k hours. Thanks.TC

I faced the same problem in 1889, after being out of professional flying for about five years. I went to a regional flying the mighty DHC-6, made Capt in ground school, instructor pilot after a month, then 6 months went to a decent Corporate job.

I have not flown in a year and Netjets did not offer me an interview, but I did get hired by Flex. So I'd say they are your best bet.

So that's why he thinks $100,000 is a lot of money! That was like a kajillion dollars in 1889.

Yeah he deifinetly has no concept of what a professional wage is. 100,000 a year is a blue collar wage.

It is all relative $100K to a guy making $50K is a big number, to a guy making $200K it is a poverty wage. But $100K puts you in the upper 95% of US wage earners. Besides flying an airplane is skilled labor job by Dept of Labor defintion. I have never broke that number, so it would make me happy to see that number. If to you or someone else it is not a good number, so be it. But do not define for me what is correct and what is incorrect. One does that for themselves.
