Skylease Cargo MD-11...old thread wore out
Just curious if anyone knows for sure if FO's get typed in the MD-11 upon completion of training. I have read the older post in here and other forums and keep hearing different things. I know its a crappy company to work for but I just want some heavy time and the type would be nice. Thanks

BJS is the same as SJS. Why support a $h!t ball operator that is bringing down the widebody ACMI pay rates to those of a regional operator? They are a scumbag operator, you know it, and you still want to go be a part of lowering the bar?
Pilots are their own worst enemies; Just baffling
The MD-11 type rating isn't worth crap anymore and it's not going to help you get to FDX. I know many with the type that have not ever been called for the interview and some more that weren't hired.

^^^^^^
This
Just a random example. A five year widebody Captain making $84,000 a year??
25,000 training contract
$24.00 a day per diem. Try to eat three meals on the road for that!
Sounds like a real Bag'O Summers Eve operation.

Palmtree.....You are ABSOLUTELY Correct on BOTH Counts.....Worked there....Left There.....and the MD-11 PIC Type Rating has NOT helped me get through ANYONES door.....
MD-11 Type Rated....Still Unemployed.....Still not getting even an invitation for an Interview....
Skylease was not worth the gamble......Has not helped my career....and the other comment about the Miami Mafia" is ABSOLUTELY true....
Still trying to get back to ACMI Flying with someone that you can actually earn a good enough living to support my family....
