Texas freight operators

[S2R]

Bugchaser,

Who are you working for now? I am from central Texas also. If you want out of Ag get ready to starve and never see home. My advice is if you have a good seat keep it. I wish I would have.

RVSM

I have been told that Ameristar like Kalitta is using Avcon to comply with RVSM and TAWS requirements. Haven't heard about Cherry. And the is is FL280 or below for non-RVSM aircraft, not below 300. ANd finally, operators will be allowed to climb above 410, WORKLOAD permitting. But on the east and west coasts, plan on the workload to never be permitting. Plus it means climb straight through, no stops. A lot of the older 20s with tired engines can't do that.

Less than a week and counting till RVSM...FL420 is impossible with a cargo falcon. Even so thats the cieling of the plane anyway.

Try MRA

Try MartinAire, they are hiring, a C208 operator, great chief pilot, $22,500 per yr to start, not great but with per diem better than regional, good bases in TX and good schedule, no pressure to fly in ice and lines. In enjoyed my time there. If you can get SAT, it's the best base out there. Good luck.

Every one talks about fuel burn in a Falcon @ 280 as if will be guzzling fuel like a freshman pleab suckin on a funnel. Fact is the fuel burn is the same. You will have to give up some speed so distance will shorten for the same flight time, but it aint no big deal. Most flights don't push your fuel anyway.

Does anyone have any addresses or ideas on Berry Aviation? Are they hiring and what address would I send a resume to. Thanks. Remember, the dirty side is down for a reason.

I work at Berry. I don't know think they're looking for anyone else right now, but that could change soon if they put another Citation on the certificate or get some more Do-328's.

You sure do have a sh!tload of time to be thinking about flying Metros, don't you think? But if you're just looking for a place to work in Texas, someone's looking for a Be-90 pilot in Waco and a Lr-35 FO in Austin... and then there's Colgan out of IAH soon.

 

[BSAV8R]

Thanks for the address Piper and the ideas V2Plus25...What about Colgan out of IAH? They starting something? Good luck guys.

Again, try the Dallas area, most often the best bet for jobs, or Houston maybe. You could always go to A&M (BOOOOO!!!! they $uck DIC'K).

Nice, teasipper. What are you, like 15?

Baron aviation runs a C-208 out of BWD.There is also Texstar.. I used to work for them. Only stay as long as you have to, they have had 3 fatalities.

It used to be a 6 month commitment.
