I too like a steamed towel with my foot rubs. |

All kidding a side the upgrade deal is pretty straight forward. 4 conditions must be obtained. 1. Seniority 2. Experience 3. Performance 4. An open spot. Any one condition is a deal breaker. They will upgrade out of order if performance or experience aren't there but they work down the list then go to the street. We are flying a large, complex, fast, transport category turboprop on demand, at night, all weather, into dark holes in Mexico and random airports any and everywhere else you never knew existed on a whim with long flight / duty days. They demand solid performers in the left seat and will not compromise (rightfully so). If you do a good job in the right seat and the other conditions are met you will upgrade and as of today its < 1 year. YMMV

That is very very respectable for a TP on demand operation. Beats a lot of Falcon gigs too.

If you can get a Falcon gig.. take it.. (I just saw one in FL).. That can lead you into a whole new market of flying. I flew a Falcon 900 for a while, and we were paying well into six figures, and staying in some nice hotels :)

There seems to be confusion about what type of Falcon gig he was referring to... Pretty sure he meant on-demand cargo Falcon 20's... From the 60's. Not brand new 900's
Flying a 900 would be a pretty sweet gig in most places, a ragged out -20... Not so much. |
24 hour on call sucks, and is illegal, but Berry is probably the best ad hoc freight company.

FAA On Duty vs Rest Time interpretation
Apparently the FAA has said this before and now they've said it again. It appears that it is a question is enforcement. 135 operators point their fingers at their POI's. (See article via link)
A case could be made, regardless of interpretation, that the POI sets a precedent by not enforcing, but.... So put that beer back in 'fridge...you're on duty. FAA: On Call = On Duty | BCA content from Aviation Week |
Any recent info on Berry? I'm looking at (hopefully) an FO position in SAN.
Thank you.. |
