[LITCHAT7]

Anybody be hiring direct into the left right now? I know big sky yet any others? More specifically without a training contract! Thanks for any help!

 

[RedDogC130]

I have a buddy that was higher into the left seat at Mesa in the Dash 8. This was just a few months ago. Another friend was put into the left seat at Colgan.

Doubt it. I think they'd rather just drop the mins for FO's to upgrade into it if they couldn't find any takers already on the seniority list

I find it difficult to believe that a pilot with the experience level you claim can not spell "hired".

GIA is currently hiring street Captains. EYW, FLL, MIA, PBI, and TPA bases available. PM me your quals if you are serious.

OK, Mr. acaTerry, the web spell patrol man or woman, let's see. I would give you two days to look up your own one-sentence mail and see how many grammar and composition rules you broke?

Two days.

Why on earth the good pilots on this forum fail to realize that the internet is not a place for formal use of English as a communication tool! Repeat after me: Web based blogs/forums are a place where an informal form of English is used. It's OK to use lower case letters to start the sentence or miss a period after the sentence is finished. How about those for who had to learn English to be pilots. Yes it may surprise you Terry, but even in Europe, Asia, Africa, etc., all those fine pilots have to learn English and no where it says they have to be perfect in English. It truly is unfair for all those pilots to make an effort to learn a different language from their own because of the profession they chose, isn't it.

How would you have liked if, just before you started your first flight lesson in a small SE piston, that you are required to learn Chinese before a license could be issued.

Be respectful of that fact and accept that thousands and thousands of pilots fly in to US each day from other countries (and yes they fly much bigger planes than anyone on this 'regional' forum does - 777s, 747s, etc.).

But, all you could do is to point out a little mistake. Why is it that no one sticks to the actual topic of the forum? We’re talking about street captains, but no, you have to practice constricting your already narrow (besides your mind) arteries.

Move on.

If you’re with an airline, and find a time at an international airport, try striking a conversation with a flight deck crew that just landed from Europe, Asia, or any other foreign county and a very big plane. You’d be surprised that most of them do a good job with speaking English, but written English is a different beast.

Believe me, and I challenge you, to have a phone conversation with me and I’d give you few words from your ‘own’ American English dictionary and you won’t be able to spell. For instance I’d give you words like ‘desicate’. Now did I spell it right? Can you tell me right now at this very moment?

If you can, then I think you’d be able to pass my 25-word quiz and if you pass 100%, then you can come back on this web as a ‘spell patrolman or woman’.

So, move on. C’mon…move along now.

While I agree that being a spelling/grammar Nazi is a bit overboard, I will tell you that every single time I see words misused, misspelled or grammar being horribly mangled, I cringe like I just heard about an electrical failure in IMC. (Ok, that's a bit strong) And for the record, I'm my own biggest critic. I HATE when I make a grammatical mistake. And while this is an informal media, I think we should strive to do better.

FlyBunny made his point without going overboard, while you on the other hand...

You get my point.

Fly safe.

Oh, back to the topic:

Sorry guys, I don’t know details and dates, but…


Several checkairmen/interviewers told me that there may be a few times this winter and early spring that we will probably not have enough qualified people to fill the Bro (emb-120) upgrade slots. This means that a few lucky, qualified new hires will probably be able to bid for and hold the left seat on their first day of class. I had a friend with plenty of multi-turbine and total time, but not enough crew time.

I HATE when I make a grammatical mistake. -JP

I think this is an incomplete sentence:
"I HATE(it/myself/something) when I make a grammatical mistake". Or are you saying you become hateful in nature when you make a grammatical mistake?

No. It shows a lack of attention to detail, lack of understanding of YOUR OWN language, and general laziness. If it is just too darn hard for you guys to at least LOOK like there is a brain in your grape, then I guess you're a bunch of lazy idiots. BTW, I have an MA in English....don't F-ck with me.

The point is that many of you guys out here want to come off as professionals, yet you look like dropouts when you attempt to write. I'm not talking about obscure tricks. I'm talking about the language you were BORN with. It's not like English is your second language. How hard can it be to just take an extra few seconds to come off as if you had something going inside those heads besides porn and whining.

 

[Geronimo4497]

What kind of times are they looking for on the Bro for occupying the left seat?

 

[Quillpig]

For instance I’d give you words like ‘desicate’. Now did I spell it right?

No, you didn't.

 

[joe_pilot]

Ok, I royally screwed this one up. What I MEANT to say was acaTerry made his point without going overboard, while you on the other hand...

I tried to edit this, but it didn't work.

Don't quote me, but around 2500 total, meet ATP minimums plus 1000 turbine crew time.

 

[viper548]

The girl that assigns bid awards told me that they'll go down to 950 turbine/crew for the EMB left seat.
Brad Holt told me that everyone should have their bid in for whatever they desire. When your number gets called they'll decide if they'll budge from the posted mins for upgrade.

 

[joe_pilot]

Good advice. I'm well past the requirements, enjoying a great schedule. Probably won't upgrade for several years.
