Beer and Skittles?

Interesting combo, I shall try that some time.

He's quite correct. Once upon a time I flew Beech 18's for a night freight outfit and was never sharper or more scared in my career.

It's quite a skill and character builder also your confience level will soar.

Homer: Do you have any of that beer with the candy floating in it? Skittlebrau or something?
Apu: Such a drink does not exist. You must have imagined it.
Homer: Oh. Then just give me a six pack and a couple bags of skittles.

I put in my stuff about a month ago, haven't heard anything. Has anyone had an interview with them lately?

bgmann

If you can get a job elsewhere do it. Pilots are leaving in droves.

Yeah, I'm just getting tired of ND. Something new would be nice and i dunno if i want to go to the regionals.

Holy Toledo

Once again, are you going to qualify your statements?

Or are you just ****ed becuase you're stuck in Beckley or Charleston?

If you're not happy beause you're tossing boxes and flying an old, sometimes ratty, square airplane with no autopilot at 8,000 feet, then yes, you need to quit.

And do more research when you take your next job.

Surprised this thread is still going. BGMANN left ACC about a month ago. Thought he would be too busy in his current training class to take time to comment on ACC. Time heals all wounds though.

I'm still working for them but have to say it can be a bit of a pain. Management doesn't treat pilots very well and flying along at 8,000 feet in weather can get old. That said, all jobs have their drawbacks and I have yet to meet a pilot that has't thought their management didn't treat them poorly.

I believe ACC is putting a class together sometime soon. Might be worth making a phone call to Ward Abbs, our Director of Training, if you are still interested. Just make sure you know what you are asking for, you might just get it.

Yeah, i've heard the stories, a professor up here use to fly for them, he had some good stories. I can either fly up here in a single engine pitson during -20 degree temps with 35 knot winds...or go someplace else flying a twin turbo-prop in slightly warmer weather and, less windy conditions. I've email and mailed Abbs my resume alittle over a month ago, and kept everything updated. So i guess i'll find out.

My statements have been spread all over APC.

My statements and the statements of other pilots that have left the same company to work for Part 121 carriers have concurred with what I have mentioned.

I havent been in WV since January. Now with a better Part 121 company.

I get tired of restating it all.
