I guess what I was trying to say is I'd like to work somewhere that I can build time quickly, but also be working in a good environment, with a good pilot group, a fair contract, etc. I'm certainly taking everything into consideration.
Sorry guys...should have re-read before i pressed the submit button.
Its cool man... I just read your post after something happened that ticked me off--I was at an FBO taking a C-208 from RDU to Pine Island, NC (private strip--outer banks) for my old employer and this guy walks up to me at RDU and says he'd do
anything for turbine time. He said "I don't even care about money...I just want the turbine time...right now I'm cleaning a BE-58 and the guy is
letting me fly it with him, I'd be happy to do the same thing with this C-208" Then I got home, read your post--its cool man, my apologies.
AWAC is a good place...there are a few out there. The key is to live in domicile or have a super easy commute (if such a commute exists?). Our domiciles are expensive and/or undesirable. At XJT you will fly a lot, at SKYW you will fly a lot, at AWAC---you will fly...just not as as others. Things are always changing though thats for sure. I've got a four day tomorrow, then a two day I picked up in open time, and a day off. So six straight days as long as I don't run into any 30/7 issues! Then I will probably go 7-10 days with no flying
