the life as a "corporate pilot"

[SCT]

So did you guys get any snow, today? I kinda miss shoveling snow now that I live in the Carolinas. It was very stress relieving.

 

[Lead Sled]

Yep. It really is stupid. But, that's what you get in Winter... TC

Winter? Oh yeah, I forgot. Living here in Paradise, er... San Diego you tend to forget about snow and stuff. It was 70 something degrees today and perfect convertable weather. My vote is to ask the moderators move all of our liberal friend's ranting incoherant posts over to the non-aviation section and let him rant and rave over there all he wants. It's time to continue discussing "The life as a corporate pilot."

P.s.

As long as we're discussing the life of a corporate pilot, I'll say that my life (as a corporate pilot) has been practically perfect for me and my family. There's really not much I'd change, even if I could.

I was in SAN last week. Do you think the port authority will ever allow competition against Jim's Air? Those people are highway robbery! I do like San Diego, though. We stayed at the Hilton Gas Lamp and had a nice night on the town. I hope to catch a Padres game sometime next spring. Wh y did they allow them to build the parking garage on the end of 27.

I'm sorry to get off topic, guys.

LS, there you go with that Liberal business again. It's only incoherent because the raw contents of the information is well past any comprehension level which you posess. If there is something you do not understand, which is simply the case here, maybe you should read and listen and maybe learn something instead of knocking it.

now, about that shine box of yours...................

Its kinda funny when you think about it, apparently alot of us have been carrying alot more "baggage" around than we knew about.

Do I think that the airport authority will allow competition against Jim's Air? No, they're a bunch of LIBERALS. Why did they build a parking garage there? Because they are a bunch of LIBERALS. That's why we avoid SAN like the plague - there's no one over there but a bunch of LIBERALS. We fly out of San Diego's CONSERVATIVE airports - Gillespie and Carlsbad.

Sled--We get into CRQ every so often. I'll give you a heads up--I'll buy! TC

P.S.--Not shovelling here in the Heartland--it's just bone-chilling COLD!

I don't want to sound like a whiner, but it was damn cold in Orlando last night, about 35 or so, which is freeking cold for my ************************* Ft Lauderdale ass.

Not too long ago I did a trip along the Canadian Border and the Northern Lights were spectacular. Then, when we got to our destination, I found a shiny quarter when I stepped onto the ramp. Oh lucky day!

Also in the news: Pitchers and catchers report this week.

I'll look forward to it and we'll flip to see who buys.

Hey guys, thanks for the info about corporate life as I am a hopeful corporate pilot to be. Currently still hanging around the bottom rung trying to move up from my current flight instruction job and get into something a little more interesting.

Carrying 16 primary students can get a little old... stalls, steep turns, slow flight... repeat... But with nearly 1200 total time I am hoping to move on soon. And from the majority of the comments it seems that most people really love the quality of life that this career line offers. Thanks

When you hit 1200 hours, why not try to get on with a freight operation flying checks part 135? RamAir? AirNet? etc.?

It provides excellent experience operating in the IFR system. You will learn decision making. You'll learn when to say the word, "No.".

Really outstanding experience that is invaluable to someone with around 1200 hours. After a year or two doing that you'll find yourself to be qualified and confident to pursue whatever direction your career takes you.

I will look into both of those companies, I am hoping that my current boss gets moving on putting me on the insurance for his E90 King Air that he runs part 91 charter with...

Part 91 Charter?

I will look into both of those companies, I am hoping that my current boss gets moving on putting me on the insurance for his E90 King Air that he runs part 91 charter with...

I'm hoping that you mis-spoke or mis-typed that. There ain't no such thing as part 91 charter and there's probably no quicker way to run a foul with the Feds than to try to pull it off. I'll second what Bender Gonzales posted.

Part 91 Charter??? Whoa, RED FLAG!

Hopefully he's got a P135 AOC and you mispoke. Otherwise there's not much quicker way to face certificate action than running an illegal charter .

my bad the E90 King Air is the 135 Charter ops,
he runs another King Air under Part 91 for a private owner
and as I am still a little low on the XC time by about 150 hours
I could start there before going to the 135 cert.

... jeez you guys are quick to notice the misprint

I agree with my tocayo, not only will IFR build good experience but it's fun...I know I personally loved it when I did it.....good luck

I am also lookin into AmeriFlight just so I could stay in Arizona another couple years while my girlfriend finishes up school. Being based out of Phoenix wouldnt be so bad.
