You might be surprised how many people want to fly the DC-6/C-46. Fly a piece of history? Why not?

So it all boils down to the cool factor? Ok, I'll buy that.. Still not sure what it does for you career wise other than fill a gap between jet jobs.:D

There are still a few ex WSO and civ FE's running around w/o an ATP so it doesn't surprise me, we have a few at my current gig. I agree with every else you said, better pay first, cool airplane second.

I see the pay rate for Everts here on the site, but is there an overtime rate for working beyond your 18 days cycle? Or a different rate beyond the hours min?

Seems like their pay is pretty good starting. DC6 or C46 would be pretty neat to fly!

AsianPRIDE, since I do not yet have the minimum time for one of those jet jobs, being a FE allows me to count one hour out of every 3 hours I spend in the FE seat towards my ATP with a maximum of 500 hours being counted towards the rating (61.159). If you had a tad over 300 hours wouldn't you ask for the opportunity? Also the DC-6 might be one of the most beautiful aircraft ever produced.

The Super Constellation is way better looking!

The pay rates on APC are not correct. They should all be five dollars higher. I will see about getting them updated.

Working a scheduled day off is paid over guarantee. It is actual time flown or three hours, whichever is greater.
