What comes after Airnet?

[8inMan]

I'll second the question about where the day runs are based. Airnet might be a little more appealing for me if I knew I had a good chance of flying during the day. Any day runs based in STP or MKE?

Hey HAZ you in the sim yet? Positive rate....Gear up....Autopilot on

Yea, All typed. The instructor got annoyed that I never used the flight director. He also didn't like when we were entering the hold and I told him what kind of entry it was without refering to the FMS to see what IT was going to do for an entry. The days of turning base legs at 250 are done man!

Day runs.... Prop... One in CPS. Quite a few in BHM. Three in MEM. Possibly one in TEB and one in HKS (Jackson Mississippi). There was one in RIC and BNA, but I don't think they're around anymore. The Lear day runs.. one in LCK, BWI, DEN (or SLC not sure) and ATL. The semi day run out of BOS was weekends. I'd say 85% of the 240 pilots work from the time frame of 6pm to 8am

Look I did not want to imply that you can get a day run if you want one. Most are at night. Dont apply unless you think you can handle a night schedule. If you can hold out how knows. I have no idea what the ratio is night:day runs, or where they are. Been out of the props for several years, and my old lear run has been changed. Maybe some of the current freight guys have good info for you. I went over to the Dark Side.

Edit Woops I should have read all of Hazmats post, he answered most of your question, sorry.

 

[uscpilot]

Hey Hazmat, you should have come over to the Dark Side. We still do alot of those things when we are empty. The 250 can be kind of hard, the 60 does not slow down the way the 35 does.
Good luck man!! Have fun in the Slowtation!!!

How often does USC 110 open up? That run would seem sweet! I know its potluck as to what positions are open after training and whatnot. I hear that run on the radios every weekday going back n forth.

Hey do you work for Jetride??

If so, do you see jetride as a good place to make a career?

Hows the QOL, etc

Yeah, been here since June last year.
That is a tough question about a making it a career. I would be happy flying the 60 here for the rest of my life, provided that I get yearly pay increases. Not to say that this is not happening. Right now it is only 3%, not much of an increase, hopefully this will change.
I guess I could sum it up like this: I am happy here, but would always be open to something better.
My QOL is drasticly better than it was when I flew freight. I made about 50K flying as a 35 copilot. When I came over to Jetride I kept about the same salary with about half the work load. I am now able to see my family much more. I was commuting while flying freight and only seeing my family only 1and1/2 days a week. Granted it was self imposed, nevertheless it was five days a week 5-8 hrs of flying and 10 - 12 hrs of duty a day.
QOL is a relative thing. For me it was a quantium leap, however I cant convince a friend who has been a 35 copilot for years to come over. His pay would nearly double, but he wants his weekends off.
The normal schedule is 2 weeks on call 1 week off. There are 3 pilots assigned to each aircraft, 2 Capts and 1 FO. I just started the reserve schedule, 9 days on 5 off. Days 1 and 9 are for travel.
Our pay is low average compared to NBAA numbers. But the schedule is very easy, 2 hour call out. Usually 1 possibly 2 ASAP call outs for every rotation. Sometimes it wont happen for weeks.
Hope this helps,

What comes after AirNet?

Bars open at 8am in NY.

 

[100fly]

and the bars close at 4:00am in NY. Considering I get off of work friday at 6:00am, it can make for a long weekend of drinking.

The RIC run was 904 that was during the day. It is now closed. Very high time run. Started around 1pm ended around midnight. 7 legs, 7.5 hours of flying. I am now at a regional. Life is SO much easier now. In a month when I make second year pay I will actually make the same money I made at AirNet. I can sum up my time at AirNet with one sentence. I am glad I did it, but I am also glad I am not doing it anymore. Looking back at it flying at AirNet was the most fun I have ever had flying. When you log 130 hours a month you get really good at flying whatever it is you are flying. You will get extremely confident, and when you go to that regional interview and the sim ride is set up as a Baron it will take everything youve got not to laugh. So for all of you PFTers out there. Stop being a PU$$Y and go fly freight.

2 pilot rotation on that run. i think both guys are married and live in cbus, and probably holding out for lear lck spots.....which is not going to open anytime soon.

Thanks, I've got a year or 2 before I will apply for cargo ops anyway. Just curious.

Where did the DSM Sic go to? I thought he was wanting to upgrade to the PIC spot when it opened.
