Feeling very lucky to have this job. Logged another 80hrs last month, 35+ approaches, 60+ landings. Hard work and long days, but I'm having fun and getting paid good money to do it!

I wish I could get everyone a slot up here.

I'm really glad for you man. You think you'll fly that much during the winter?

Depending on your base, you'll fly your face off in the winter when the weather is good. Charters pick up during the school year.

I just got off the phone for my interview. They said we should hear back by the end of next week. They said the class would either be September or October, more leaning towards October.

Good luck to all who interviewed!

Hello to everyone, new guy on the forum. I'm in a good job now but love everything aviation and looking for something to supplement retirement in the near future. About to start training for IFR and CPL. I think I'd be content with, and enjoy flying 207. But, say a guy flies a 207 with Hageland for a handful of years and then wants to move over to a Caravan, do you loose all of your Captain pay to sit right seat in the Caravan until you can get in as a Caravan Captain?

Sorry if this is a silly question, I'm not all that familiar with aviation as a business/career. Any insight would be appreciated!

With the amount of attrition over the last few years and movement in the industry, you probably wouldn't be in a C207 for over a year unless you wanted to be.

Once a PIC, you stay as a PIC

Nope- The progression goes:

Right seat 208
Right seat 1900 (if you have a multi ticket)
Left seat 207
Left seat 208

Plenty of people stop there, but if you have a multi ticket they'll probably eventually want you to have your ATP so they can dual qual you in a Navajo.

No idea how long it takes to get into a 1900 left seat right now, but probably a while.

Will they hire directly to 207? I'm at 700TT and currently flying a 207.

I can almost guarantee that they will put you directly into a sled if you apply with sled time and over 1000 TT.

They're upgrading some guys into it as low as 750 right now, but that's obviously a lot easier than doing it off the street.

In my ground school last year I think one street sled driver was around 1400 or so? I had 2500 with a year and a winter of AK experience and my ATP scheduled the week after training and I still went into a sled instead of a van to start lmao.

So it's a bit hit or miss.
