I am sure you have looked into it, but if not;
Fractionals? You have the time, experience... Flex Jet (Challenger) or NetJets (BBJ, although might be awhile), something like that? They aren't going anywhere for awhile, more stable than the private side. |

Gotcha. However, I don't know how much QOL airline flying will give you, until you get seniority. Pay will be low, RESERVE!!! As long as you know what you are getting into. Airline and "stable" don't go together.
What ever you do though, good luck. With those times I would look at other places in addition to a "regional". |

Thanks thats good advise. I dont think anyone getting hired now will ever see the BBJ at NetJets though. However, I am over the big airplane quest. Its really about QOL now.
Not much sitting Reserve here at XJT now. I know guys who held lines right off the bat out of training recently. You are probably looking at West Coast based right now. Upgrade is quick. My pay has doubled every year i have been here and QOL has been Awesome in My opinion. Up till now i havent commuted so that helps. I upgraded at 2 years they are telling us in Upgrade now that the company is projecting upgrades to go down further to a year and a half. Good luck with you choices. |
They're really saying 1.5 years? Man, that just seems so low to me. They gotta mean on the junior branded side I guess, cuz I know here in IAH it's really slowed down :(

know your jepps, know your aircraft systems, lots of "what if your captain is drinking past the 8 hour rule", "what if blah blah blah", know what the stock closed at, CEO name, chief pilot name, which bases are for continental, which are for delta, which are for xjet branded flying (the guy in the second room that day was in a bad mood). they're gonna ask you about your previous work experience, things you liked, things you didnt like, your most challenging flight, name 3 qualities that describe yourself, etc etc. brief an approach, or brief a departure. They gave me some departure out of somewhere in mexico and had me finger fly it. was easy, they're very similar to american plates. They asked me crossing altitudes, airspeed restriction (know all your airspeed restrictions, inside class B, below class B, in class C, etc) . know when you need an alternate, and what the wx needs to be there to allow it to be filed as an alternate. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at [email protected] good luck! |
Do you want the interview answer or the real-world answer?
