What happened to the ETOPS certification back in 2004? I remember Pace got approved for it when we did the proving runs back then.

That was for the 757 had to do one on the 767.

It wasn't during the proving run but when they arrived in GSO the night before.

Right, and in addition to that C checks on 737-300's.

What I heard was 36 aircraft this year.

Well that's all good for the MX department. Anything new as far as growth/hiring on the airline side?

 

[Squirrel29]

Nothing that can be said here. But it looking better flying wise. Just need to get more pilots.

What is the best way to apply? Do they make you have a type first?

Son, anywhere but here, means you got to leave!

 

[climbhappy]

best way to apply would be to come to winston and leave a res with Dir of training and chief pilot.. we have a new hire class of 4 now. no type needed.
i think a good fax is 336 776 3227. put a cover page with pilot applicant in big bold 48 point type to bruce foster, chief pilot...then add your cover ltr, then the res
