A350 orders reduced to 8... Only getting 40 A321... Getting fewer(-40) 739.... Don't shoot the messenger! We just took delivery of 3870 on the 737 side which means we have 50 left so if it's -40 deliveries will be done in may = highly unlikely I also doubt we would go from getting 3 321s a month for the next 2 years to being done in 6 months Odds are we are still getting 25 350s 120 737900s 81 321s |
121 vs 135
Question to the forum. I'm at a bit of a crossroad here and would like the opinion of the pilot group I'd eventually like to work for. I'm about to hit 1500 hrs and need to decide whether or not I should stay at the 135 operator I am with now or leave for a 121 regional. My apprehension over leaving or staying revolves around the likelihood of a street hire with only 135 experience flying a King Air 350 (requires a type >12.5k) getting hired by a Major. I'll be eligible to upgrade with my current company in a few months. I figured fly there for a few years and rack up the TPIC required and then apply for a Major/Legacy or do I give up my great QoL and pay my dues at a regional.

Does anyone know what 4F1R means on your timecard? There isn't a 4.F.1.R section on the contract. It just showed up on a day off that nothing happened and paid me an extra 5:15. It says closed and I have no clue what it was for and don't want to call and ask. :)

Not saying its not possible but getting hired from a part 135 king air straight here would be almost impossible. That is purely my opinion. Delta seems to like "known quantities", reputable training history etc. regionals have that, 135? Well that is all over the map.

I think 121 time trumps 135 any day of the week. |
