Yeah, it was posted on climbto350.com. I loved AirNet and I hope I got the job, my interview went well. I already declined the CIII job.

Just out of curiosity...what was so bad about the job on climbto350? Do you know something about the company?

Really curious, let me know.

It took me two year and two months to upgrade to the Lear...... I blame the events of 9-11 for that. In the last year or so I've seen one guy upgrade in 8 months (from prop to jet) and from Jet Sic to Pic 7 month's. But on average it will take you about 10-12 months, provided you are willing to relocate.

A PIC prop makes about 22500 base pay. However most runs will pay better than this. On my old prop run I made about 35000 a year.

Hey guys, im looking into AirNet now. Any of you still fly for them??? Or have thoughts about now?

I flew for AirNet back when it was called US Check (95). I was only there a year but I loved it. I remember upgrade, just to right seat of the lear, was about three years. Because of the lack of movement, back then, I left AirNet. Once I left I went to the commuters (quick upgrade), US Air and now FedEx. Looking back, the training was good, the pay was pretty good and they treated us well. I had a fifth night run and made a little extra. The wx was certainly an eye opener coming from CFI work. I didn't go through Columbus so I loaded my own freight. I flew 4 to 6 legs a night. The flying isn't for everyone, it can be quite challenging. However, at times, I thought it was some of the most enjoyable flying I've ever done actually. IMHO, it was a good move, taught me a lot and I had a lot of fun in the process. Good luck with your interview.

ya, i have gathered from everyone that because of the night flying, pilots are faces with some pretty tough weather. and that because of the cargo, some times pilots can get quite uncomfortable with what they are doing. this is something to keep in mind. but i see it this way...something that is very challenging will make you a better pilot. i mean, i have been flying Cessna 172 for about 6 years. I feel completly at home in that airframe. and on days that the weather is nice, i just jump in and go. it becomes more like driving a car, then flying an airplane. so if my resolve and flying ability were constantly challenged, i believe that my skills would skyrocket.

plus, i am single right now, and plan to keep it that way until after i am setteled in my career. i have heard from many many people, that if you are married before you start flying for the airlines, when you sign your employment contract, you might aswell sing your divorse papers. im not really sure about that, but when i am a bran new FO, i will want to concertrate on my career.
