correct, But at IFL this point is mute. Our engineers only sit in the seat for about 6-8 months and around 300 hours before they're pulled over to the right seat in the falcon. I didn't log a single FE hour in my logbook, just kept a post-it note for my 50 hour currency.

Honestly, I don't harbor any ill will towards IFL. As I stated in a former post, I enjoyed my time there and, overall, had a positive experience. As far as I know, I left on good terms with the CP, DO, and others in the office. I fulfilled the terms of my two weeks notice, and on my last day I walked all company property back to the office, unlike the manner in which some former employees left.

However, that does not negate the fact that, as I said, at least on the 135 side, the flights are being operated contrary to the requirements of the FARs and action has been taken against employees who attempted to operate in such a manner.

Your a good person. Don't let others put you down because they are jealous of your current position. IFL is a good place to "Cut your teeth". However, I won't defend IFL if you say what is true is true. Blinded allegiance is dangerous!!!!

Any advice on submitting an app? I assume they would like some info in a standardized format..?

The formal procedure is to bend over, touch your toes and cough. Be sure to get it on video and and email it to [Godaddy].

There's no computer system here. So I would say the best thing to do is follow up

Still using the magnetic board that was there with the DC-3's ?

Yeah. It probably looks a little different now though. But let me clarify, there's no computer system for getting your resume selected for an interview.

What are the basic requirements for the pilot positions?

Basic mins are on the APC forum site:

Falcon 20 - Multi-Engine Commercial Rating and 300 hours
Boeing SIC/Convair/CRJ - ATP or Restricted ATP mins
Boeing FE - FE Rating or at least a Single-Engine Commercial Rating, 250 hours and take the FE written
