Wink wink...nudge nudge.

That's a shame. I've had my eye on Airnet for a couple a years now. Just as I was getting ready to apply was when the company went down hill. Mind you if I DID apply when I wanted to, I would have been furloughed before my class started (terminated really).

Hopefully the Holiday season will jump start them and Airnet will start back up.

Is Airnet using recalled pilots for the C182's out here in the West? If so, good luck to you guys/gals.

Are you sure it's a 182 and not a Caravan?

Does it say "AIRNET" real big on the side of it?

There are some new routes out West, Airnet will be flying some in Barons and Flight Express will be flying some in 210's. Those were probably Flight Express airplanes you saw.

Yeah! Don't dis the 210. Even though I'd rather be flying a Baron, the 210 is still an awesome airplane.

Does it look like they are going to be hiring after the summer, and hiring guys/gals under 1000 hrs? I'm trying to at least have the Airframe done of my A&P before the hiring starts. I'd like to work for them after my CFI gig.

With the amount of qualified guys out there looking for work (and I mean IFR 135 PIC qualified), I doubt that Airnet will be looking for <1200 any time in the near future.

I guess stranger things have happened though.

I've had my information in at Airnet for a long time. Over 2100 hours, ATP, 135 qualified in a Baron and a Navajo. Not even an email saying "Thanks, but no thanks", so I'm thinking that around 1000 hours isn't going to get you a job there for awhile unless you know someone on the inside.

The aircraft are not out here yet. We're flyig the runs until airnet gets into place. I was told they outbid us with 182's. Even if they are 210's, whoever is flying them, be safe out there. Bishop and the Owens Valley are not fun places to be at night and in ice.
