T-Gates said:I guess it would suffice to say that if you don't know much about Scenic, then you probably aren't qualified enough to say "Don't waste your time at Scenic".
Things that make you go..........WTF?!
Steveair said:Lets see... fly for an airline that's tiny and hardly anyone has heard of (and flying older aircraft), or get seniority with a good company that you can upgrade quickly in. There's a toss up. I was in no way trying to insult scenic guys but I think SkyWest is a better pick.
Steveair said:Okay... I looked up Scenic and I agree that the plus is hand flying and home every night. BUT, geez that's gotta be hot! I hope they let you guys fly in shorts. Also, is it really quality flight time? Are you flying cross country at all? Do you ever get ANY kind of actual? Do you fly any more than 3 routes? Pay doesn't look too great for you guys either. If the guy asking the question is like most pilots, he wants to go into a career at the regionals and the majors and the quickest way to go would be right to SkyWest. 1000 hours of PIC... great, but that takes a year AND who knows what this industry is going to do in the future. Not many airlines hire street captains.
It all comes down to your seniority number. The sooner you're on... the better!
As for whoever was ragging on an 1800 hr CFI... yeah, I'm sure your much more knowledgable on straight and level and doing no other manuevers or teaching anything. But I guess thats what you'd expect from a 1500 hour tour guide.
PS - Jim, sorry to here such a nice guy was furloughed. Fly Navy? The Navy is obsolete.
