Hi FreightDogs, I have heard a rumor that the Chieftain runs will be going away soon. Is this true?

EN, they want you and expect you to eventually transition up into a larger airplane. I'm sure they will allow you plenty of time. (And I think it's fair to say that most Chieftain pilots are looking forward to the day when they fly something larger.)

Or do you want to stay in the Chieftain?

They fly the regular runs. Most small package runs (UPS, FedEx, DHL) run Monday through Friday or Saturday morning. There are some runs that operate on the weekends for some other customers.

If you are in a time building position, the goal is to build time. If you need time off, we can usually accommodate that. But we want you to get to "captain numbers" as quick as possible.

All of the turboprobs except the EMB120 are single-pilot?

Or they don't enforce it... Guys with scruffy looking beards, and overall poor grooming standards will draw attention to themselves. I don't feel the scrutiny is anywhere near what it was when I flew passengers, but there are basic expectations.
