Any hope for Flight Engineers?
 
So here I am with 3200 flight hours experience on the 727 and no place to go. Is there any hope for Flight Engineers who love the job and want to want to keep flying? Is anybody hiring?

USAF KC-10s will probably have them until they go to the boneyard in a few decades. We're always hiring.

Don't forget the C-5s.

If you wanted to be a recip FE the CP at Everts thinks their DC-6s have another decade or two in them.

Lyndon's civilian Hercs will probably be around for a while as well.

Kalitta has their 72s running around still I think.... And Connie will probably keep their Classics running longer than anyone else will. That said their fleet will only be getting smaller.

We have 22 or so Classic FEs on furlough here at Kalitta since Connie parked some of them

Not sure if Doug's operation is hiring 727 FEs.

Heard Charters II recently hired 4 FEs for their 72s but I wouldnt hold out much hope of K4 hiring for the 742 ever again at least in the FE seat......but stranger things have happened.

From what I heard you can't go direct into a KC-10 FE seat unless you've got prior military FE or military A/C MX experience. C-130s will take you fresh off the street though if you talk to the right people and willing to do part time. If I misheard, I'd be glad to be wrong.
