Jumpseat Agreements?
Does National have any jumpseat agreements with major (passenger) airlines for international jumpseating (in the cabin)?
I know they fly you into position for your assignment. Am asking for leisure travel... |
I am not a N8 pilot but a good buddy is and I know he once used DL ATL-MCO... Yes I know that is not Intl... So I am sure they have some agreements not sure with who... Perhaps a N8 driver will chime in...
|
Current N8 pilot here. We can go international with Atlas, Kalitta and WGA. Pretty sure we can go on UA & DL as well.

What is the interview like? No-stress or like facing the firing squad? Technical?
Since it’s now via Microsoft-teams, do you recommend doing it via iPad or iPhone or laptop? I’ve never used this sort of technology, clearly. necessary to wear pants? (j/k).. |
Can you fog a mirror? Pants optional.

What is the phone number for Crew Support?

How many credit hours are captains and F/O's seeing per month? I know it varies but more or less!
You can PM as well |

Probably better than Eastern.

Popcorn won’t be required. Is a simple question as to how many credit hours are the 74 skippers making per month on average.
|
Many thanks to those that responded on PM.

January my family had covid so I worked my days off. Then I doubled out and had 17 days off. 15 off in March timed out then. 12 days off in April timed out. 2nd yr CA.

Anyone have any info about the St. Kitts wing strike incident (A330 striking the light pole)? A high school friend was on the flight and she has posted a lot about it on her facebook page. Just a cursory glance at satellite pictures of the airport, it looks like the taxi lanes are set up to be nose in parking on the ramp, but it appears from the videos that the aircraft was taxiing across the ramp to end up parking nose out (towards the taxiway). But you can't tell in the videos if the crew was receiving guidance across the ramp as marshalers are not seen in the screen. My first impression is this is a case of the crew being set up to fail, but don't know what kind of briefings and/or guidance the crew actually received. Any info?

Last year was similar and I ended up with 4 1/2 months off including Nov and Dec.
What life are you talking about? 4 on 3 off jumpseating to a crashpad? With supplemental you need to be flexible and understand the game to play it.

With supplemental you need to be flexible and understand the game to play it. *4 on 3 off jumpseating to a crash pad multiple times each month only to rest and worry about loads well before you’re out the door again. Different strokes for different folks our priorities vary but the above battle is not my game either. It’s amazing how little I care about “work,” yet have fun doing it. |

Well done, 1000hrs and annual time out. Nice!

I see N8 is advertising direct-entry-captain..
what are competitive mins for it? I know the more heavy time and intl ops the better. What about a 7-year regional pilot with 1 year of FO time in supplemental on a heavy jet? also, what is N8 retirement like? 401k? |

Do you think they have a defined benefit plan? Why do these questions get asked? |

Anyone here who had recently interviewed and heard back from National? 757 side of the ops not the cargo side.
What is the schedule like and do you get any guaranteed hours with the 757? |
You mean the Part 135 757's?

All N8 aircraft operate under Part 119. The 757 is Orlando based with a small cadre living around there.

You are right. There is no Part 119. My bad. I should have said “section” 119 under 121.

Does anyone have any insight to life on the A330 at National. Actual credit hours etc
