Paying 4 climbto350.com, worth it in my case?
 
I'm employed with an ACMI but, I am interested in trying to pick up some pt 91 contract flying in anything from ferrying piston singles to SIC in a t-prop or biz jet in my off time. Does 350.com have these types of ads often enough to justify paying the membership fee?

Most of those jobs get posted up here anyhow :rolleyes:. You pay for the service and somebody that's trying to "help" shares that info with the world.

Dont waste your time or money, unless you have thousands of hours. Any non ATP wont qualify for 90 precent of the jobs you pay to see, in the currnet climate

It seems like the contract jobs listed are more long term contracts as opposed to the one time trips that you're looking for.

Agreed. I was looking into the same thing, and paid for a month or two, but didn't qualify for squat. Very little part time/ferry stuff unless you're willing to travel to the usual third world garden spots. Or have a type, are current, with 3000 pic on every bizjet known to man. Waste of time/money.

I do have several thousand hours and an ATP. I also have some biz jet types, I'm just not 135 current in them. That said, are you saying that it might be worth a membership?

I would say its not worth your time or money.
I tried the same thing a couple of yrs ago when the economy was stiil good and it always seemed I would make enough money to cover the cost of a recurrent or the flight would go when I was already on another trip. A logistics nightmare for me.
Why not just pick up an extra trip on the -10

Normally, I would be glad to do overtime and ***** myself out for the extra money. However, I won't volunteer for extra flying while my coworkers are furloughed.

There are a ton of free sites. Screw the pay sites!
