they hire PFEs, Professional Flight Engineers. And until you’ve had the opportunity and privilege to fly with highly intelligent, experienced and qualified “sideways” flyers, as a 4 Striped B727 pilot, my suggestion to you is that you sit down and zip it. our guys came from the uniformed services (for the most part) and I’ll take anyone on the flight deck humble enough to recognize they are an integral part of the operation, versus someone like you who thinks he (or, she?) is better than the professionals who aviate “sideways” on a daily basis. I bet a large quantity of money that the poster does not indend to become a 4-striped 727 pilot. He is looking for a stepping stone to get to his ATP mins. |

Nice claim, but also wrong. Calm down sparky - it's not that complicated... check essential and make all/most of the light bulbs turn off - then airplane go brrrr. |
Did IFL get rid of there 727s, 216we has been parked for over a year and 215we has been in hamilton since april?

IFL first year FO pay
I’m looking for information on IFL, what I can realistically expect to earn first year as a FO. I am about a 45 minute drive from PTK, is this primarily an on-call? I don’t see any current positions open on their website, if anyone has any insight I’d appreciate it

Oh holy god… the PTSD and deja-vu all at the same time over that sentence. That and Essential Power being on the overhead. Thankfully only had to endure a 231 a handful of times before it went on to its next life as a beverage container. My head always hurt after flying it because of my eyes going crossed looking back at the strangely arranged FE panel to scream at the Engineer for not configuring the bleeds correctly and my ears are popping as we climb out.

I knew Alan Ross, founder of IFL and what an extraordinary man. Kind, smart compassionate. I was flying for another employer and had many significant moments with him. In 35 years of aviation he stands out. May his memory be a blessing.
