Default Current Info

I'm a line guy at US. We have 60 aircraft give or take depending on the time of year. Yes instructors are really busy and you will fly a lot. Chinese contract students mostly.

Fleet is made up of Diamond DA20's and 40's and C-172's and C-150/152's. There are also 4 Seneca's.

We also have 4 King Air's that cycle in and out as three are leased. Our King Air pilots are really high time guys so don't expect to get a gig doing that until you spend some time here.

I just flew today with a guy who has been here 4 years. When he started he had barely 400 hours TT. Now he has 3500 TT and 2000 are Turbine PIC in the King Air. I'm not promising that will happen to you but it's not too far fetched if you hang around awhile. Most instructors come in, get their regional mins as soon as they can and are off to the airlines.

Good Luck.
