Talked to AirPac a month ago... They told me i was overqualified and their flying was nothing like the flying i am used to (furloughed CRJ pilot but 100 hrs in seneca from teaching)
I was going to hold out a bit longer for the furlough but things are not looking that great.. I heard even Aeroflight is fat on pilots..

The only 135 guys I know of that have a base in Seattle and are hiring is AmFlight. I've talked with AeroFlight & AirPac both, neither seem to be in need of pilots right now. Sort of scary when these guys aren't hiring!

WOW REALLY???? Yeah, if Airpac isn't picking people up, you know the bottom of the barrel has been scraped.

Then only thing with Amflight is that BFI is turbine only now. So don't plan on being based there any time soon. Not sure how long the upgrade time is now. My friend in training there said under a year. Good luck!

is ameriflight not hiring into the turbines if you are qualified? it sure would suck to go back to single engine piston. i haven't flown anything with one engine for 7 years.

Single-engine piston is the best powered-flight around...! You're right -- you've been flying jets for far too long

I pretty sure Ameriflight got rid of all their Piper Lances a while ago. But I've been wrong before.

not only do i think flying singles is scary but flying low through the weather and ice again makes my skin crawl. yes i have been in jets too long but not long enough.
