Do they have any flying in the lower 48 or overseas?

Yes, not overseas though-Yet. May 27th class for DC9/MD80 and EMB120 Capts and FOs.

Everts Air Cargo = :eek::eek::eek:

Of the eleven posts you have made so far under this username all have been deragatory towards a variety of airlines. Between those posts and your username I would think you should talk to your doctor about a change in medication.

Their MD80 is Laredo based and does lower 48, Mexico, and canada.

Natca,

Check your PMs.

Ok so the pilots are not based in tx but that airplanes does spend most of its time in elp and lrd

Do their planes have lavs on them, specifically the 9s and MDs?

No lavs :mad:. Only a blue juice porta john that is about 8 inches off the ground. You have to pull it out from the bulkhead. When I was there I didn't hear of anybody using it. Most guys just use a bottle they bring along.

At least you have a pilot uniform, you can walk through the terminal
Holding your head high.
Just don't tell anyone you sh!t in a box, like a f:cking animal.

Friskies Mouse Flavor anyone?

It is just me or does the crew in the Envoy ad seem so much more inviting than the Emirates version?

Yeah, back in the day I worked for an outfit that had a similar setup. It's not the best situation but could always be worse. It gets really bad if you're doing legs that are 4 hours or more. Haven't heard much about this outfit though.. Are they hiring Captains? What's first year pay, schedule.? Are they in CASS? If so, do they have a commuter clause in their contract?

FEtoCPT...

Check your PMs.

Um... Actually it sounds like a pretty bad situation:eek:. I'm a little shocked that this place would subject their employees to these conditions. This is extremely unsanitary and must be a very big inconvenience for the crew. Who cares how long the legs are, when you have to go, you have to go. Shouldn't professionals be treated a little better?

Some Pilots amaze me...
Multiple sources could post that..... a company is the worst outfit in the world. Citing examples of garbage pay, no benefits, no schedule and on call 24/7/365, broken and illegal airplanes, non existent training, .50 cent per diem, floating domicile, and instead of a lavatory onboard you crap and **** in a bucket......

Yet there is always someone who responds right below the above post........ What are their mins. !? Can I go to the right seat of the Jet, will they hire me if I bend over and take it up the arse!?

:eek: < FACEPALM !! >. :D

Sounds about right for the on demand 121 world. You Forgot to add a 30 min call out and 1 hour from call gear in the well time.

Yes this is real

Any pilot that bases a career decision on a message board amazes me.

Captain year one pay $92/hr, 60 hour guarantee/28 day period. First Officers $57/hr.
Medical, dental, 401k with 50% match to 8%, paid time off.
Lower 48 schedule 18/12 and home based. Tickets to and from work on the first and last day of your 18 days of work. Per diem $1.85/hr starts and ends at your house. Minimum 10.5 hours free of duty every day. Accomodations provided while you are at work.

Alaska based crews bid a schedule and are in their own bed every night. If the aircraft is broken write it up, no harm no foul.

Training for the turbojets is a minimum of 8 simulator sessions in a level C or D simulator. No such equipment exists for the DC-6 so that training is completed in the aircraft.

Never furloughed. Never a late paycheck. Got a problem? Walk into the owners office and hash it out.

Yes, it can be hard work but you can sure do worse out there. I hope you are as well off where you are.

Jim

I was really just making a joke and speaking in general terms of the message board. Nothing against Everts directly although I found the bucket lav comment above, humorous.

Good to see a positive light about this company in your post. Many companies have positives, but people always seem to disclose more negative.

100% true. Add to that, the people at Everts are some of the nicest, most straight forward folks in aviation. Some of the "best" jobs in flying can't match the crews, mechanics and staff you'll work with at Everts.

Excellent post. Thank you for the accurate information.

Edit* I'd like to add that I've worked at a few small places before my current employer and the 2 that you could easily, without appointment, walk in and settle an issue with the OWNER were the best jobs I ever had. Takes a lot of respect on both sides of the desk to make that happen

Do you Everts folks think I'd get an interview? 5000+ hrs, 2400 turbine (1250 of that PIC) and AK time...but, I haven't worked as a pilot for over 10 years. Love to get back to AK and flying but can't afford to work for nothin. Always wanted to fly a DC6 or a 9...

It has been done in the past but with less than great results. It's tough to jump straight into a simulator after that much time off and still meet the standards in the scheduled time.

Why did you stop flying ten years ago?

What have you done to get current/proficient since then?

Jim

Hi Jim, thanks for replying.
I haven't done anything to get current yet. I thought if I could get a provisional 'yes' from someone, I'd get on the Microsoft sim and then go to ATP's and do an IPC and maybe even their RJ training to get up to speed. I've had time off before and - not to big note myself - I've always had strong IF skills so it didn't take much to get back into it.
Why did I quit 10 years ago? Probably get writers cramp telling the whole story, suffice to say I didn't plan it that way...part of the story is I ended up owning a 10,000 acre ranch in Australia for the last 7.5 years; I've sold that now so am free to pick up my life where I last left it!

Agreed. 100%

Is Zach A. The DO ?

Plane off runway
 

So this is interesting: Incident: Everts MD82 at San Luis Potosi on Nov 2nd 2015, runway excursion on landing

Not sure I'd want to be working for this company. Who cares about paychecks showing up on time when stuff like this is taking place. I wonder what's going to happen to the crew?

Your point is? You posting to post or you have proven points regarding Everts' safety record?

Not posting to just post. Try to limit yourself to munching on only one retard sandwich today.. Thanks:D

If you don't want to work for an airline where a crew has been involved in an incident your career choices will be severely limited.

Jim

Yes... well I'm sure your carrier has cornered the market of incident free Aces of the base. And I'm sure your are carrier's poster child.

Happy flying

capt.

Yes he is the DO still. No sign of him leaving. The owner really likes him.

121 airlines that have been involved with overruns from the top of my head: SW, FX, AA, K4, DL. I'm sure there have been more. Does that mean that those companies are bad based on just that one merit? Please elaborate and give the forum something more to go off to convince us.

Any updates on this?

what's current upgrade time on DC-9, MD-80?

If you have DC-9/MD-80 experience you could be a DEC. Otherwise, it depends on when you're ready and if there are openings.

The DC-9 is fairly stable on the captain side of things. Atlas could always change that again.

The MD-80 fleet is expanding. Both captains and first officers are needed. As Packrat said, you could go DEC if you have time in a turbojet in the 100k plus range. That assumes you meet the faa's PIC requirements.

We are working toward cargo personnel on all lower 48 flights to remove that burden from the flight crews. Stay tuned for that one. Home based, 18/12 schedule. Details are on APC's website.

Jim

Not being judgmental, a job's a job. Just curious, how long does it take two dudes to roller jack, position & strap down a load of steering columns on something the size of MD80?

Really, it only takes about an hour to unload/load the plane. Of course, the Captain has to do the required paperwork in that time as well.

The good news is that when the cargo is unusually large or unwieldy, the customers often provide labor to help. In Laredo, loading isn't an issue. Of all the carriers in the "Ypsilanti vortex," Everts managment is working hard to make the job more palatable for the pilot group.

The majority of the time the customer provides laborers. You can often just tell them where to put the cargo and how to strap it. I have never had an occasion where only the flightcrew was available to load. Although we didn't have to load them there was a time when we arrived at the destination one hour early. In that case we could have waited for the load crew to arrive but chose to unload the 132 loose loaded semi tires ourselves so we could head to the hotel.

As I said in an earlier post we are planning on adding a loadmaster to all turbojet flights to free up the flightcrews time.

Jim

Good news about the loadmaster
