The reality is its always important to remain current if you are looking to move on. The flight time is often more valuable than pay and conditions.

Thats why people fly for regionals starting around $20K.

4000 bucks plus membership fee's is rather pricey for a king air

any add on prices for fuel price changes?

I don't care what the pay is..( it's only a measly 75k for a capt) that schedule is bull********************. I feel like trying for a interview just to tell them to stick it to there face.. This industry has really turned into a bottom feeder job..at least ditch diggers work decent hours and have weekends off..

Valid point, which begs the question...IF this thing takes off (no pun intended) will it be nothing more than a "keep current" factory?!?

Or retirement playtime for the gummers in the crowd.

I think with YipPilots' predicted pilot shortage coming online ... yeah... I gotta go with the gummers theory.

WTF would anyone fly for a frac if you need 2500 hours ... when you can fly at an airline instead?

That is 10 days off a month, a lot better than many of the 135 operators out there, in fact better than my IBT union contract a former 121 air carrier. If you live in base that would be an alright schedule. Just about the same as our DA-20 drivers, who used tot get 7 days a month off.

^^^Sorry-but a 6/3 sched is horrible. Even if you live in base. The only thing that I have seen worse is 12/3 by another operator. At least give pilots an 8/6 or Heaven forbid the dreaded 7/7.

Valid pt. No training contract.
