Saw a 5/8/15 posting for FO position for several more locations for the ATR than I have ever seen posted before... (MCO, TPA, several more)

I plan on stalking Flight Aware to see what hours the ATR flies, everything I read seems to say the flight time is about 2.5 hours a night???

Has anyone heard of someone working Mt. Air Cargo at night and doing another job during the day?

Many thanks

Any idea on what goes into being a 'floater'?

Not sure if I take in enough fiber...

As a floater you basically have no base. You live within an hour of your home airport and are commercially flown where you are needed. You fly out on a Monday and return home on Friday unless operations dictate you fly into Saturday. You do this for 3 weeks then are given 1 week paid off. You can work that paid week off if you like for double time. Per diem while away from home us $32 per day. They say they provide hotel and rental car while away. Was told not to expect 300 hrs a year in flight time. Hope this helps. I am heading up for final interview in a week but would like to talk to pilots working there. Management always makes things sound much better then things actually are.

I'm a current Mountain Air Cargo ATR captain PM me if you want more info on the company!

That's not too bad!!! So, if there was a Newark floater, do you have to airline out of Newark? Would they do SWF or POU?

Floater = Not based with aircraft,you'll work out of a different city every week,position is used to cover sick calls,
pilots scheduled time off etc...

F30, sent you a pm. Thx

Any current (or past) 208 guys have any insight on how many hours you fly per year, on average?

C208 Single pilot or dual?
 

I'm considering a position at Mountain Air Cargo, I was just curious if anyone knows do they fly the Caravan single pilot or dual? The position is advertised as Captain with no FO positions listed so I can assume that its single...just wondering if anyone out there works for them currently and can offer any insight....Thanks
