Year End #s....

[flywest]

Also work for a fractional; total for the year is 335.

 

[Superpilot92]

994 and i have been off the last month and a half since early November, because the company timed me out for the FAA 1000 mark~~~:beer:

I averaged 14 days off a month and usually about 10 nights a month in a hotel room. Not bad for a airline gig.

I did it on purpose!!!

 

[TXGold]

476, but we were very busy this year for certain business reasons.

 

[CitationCapt]

478- Pt 91 and 135

[filejw]

190 hrs airline DC10 res. But that gig is over as they sold all the A/C .I'm sure next yr it will be back to about 900 hrs.

.the goal is to brag about how little you flew, not how much you flew.

Ya got that right.
Seems like many of us pilots just hafta get these flying jobs so we can earn our livings flying, but once we're doin' it, it's all about how little you fly.
What a weird profession we have LOL

OOPPSS, yall should have made that clearer to me at the beginning of the year. I seem to have gotten it backwards. Oh well there is always next year!!!

If I only flew 400hrs a year that'd be like being on vacation!

 

[Hawker800]

PT 91 only. 173 hrs. total. Done for the year.

 

[icefr8dawg]

650 this year half charter half 91 for the family. Probably be the same next year if they keep buying the planes before the pilots. Just got my bonus, $1000 pre tax, lol!

Bonus???? WTF is that? LOL The day we get a bonus is the day everyone should start praying because armageddon is sure to occur before the check clears.:laugh:

Great if you were building time, if not, my sympathys.

 

[Tgaug6300]

No doubt. I hope he is not one of those guys making 19k/yr.

A guy I recently flew with asked me about the 4 levels of flying.... I thought about it for a second, dusted off my ancient CFI knowledge from 10 years ago and said: Rote, Understanding, Application, Correlation. He said I wasn't even close. Here's what he said, which I thought was pretty funny and very appropriate for this thread:

Level 1 - You pay through the nose to fly (student)
Level 2 - You fly for free (time building)
Level 3 - You get paid to fly (regional, Part 135, cargo, etc)
Level 4 - You get paid not to fly (frac, major, cushy corp gig)

What level are you at? I flew 800 hrs last year so I guess I'm level 3....

You left off Level 5 - You retire, buy a little airplane and pay through the nose to fly. Like everything else, what goes around eventually comes around.

Unless you go into the military, then you're paid from day one. I bought a vette while I was in flight school.


525 flight hours

125 flight days

57 RON

2 X 5 day recurrent training

No sir not time building. Well maybe I am, considering this is just a stepping stone. All 1072 hours were part 135 cargo (Ameriflight). and nope I dont make 19k, I made 46k+bennies. Flying roughly 20-25 hours a week 5.6-6.1 nightly and I only work Monday-Thursday all holidays off and quality of life is good. I can say though it will be a welcome change to stop flying the back side of the clock and to fly something with an autopilot/FMS/anything invented post 1960:beer:. Fly safe Gentlemen

I am going to skip that one and dump my money in a hole in the water!:beer:
