Hi again FreightDogs and thanks for all the help so far. Can you tell me what aircraft fly out of SUS? I live 45 minutes away and would prefer to stay home based.

Hi, there!

We currently have just one pilot opening out of our SUS base - it's a SA227 Captain position.

Hope that helps!

In order of lowest to highest flight min requirement:

First Officer ACP: Nationwide (could live anywhere, we'd fly you to assignment)

Captain BE99: BUR, ONT, OMA, ABQ, PDX, BFI
+ these outstations: San Diego CA, Visalia CA, Reno NV, Klamath Falls OR

Do you know about how many hours/month the BE99 runs out of BFI average?

Also, if I'm ~40 hrs short of the IFR 135 mins is there any point in applying now, knowing that I'll have the hours in the next 3 weeks? Or is it best just to wait and apply in 3 weeks?

Thanks!

You will average a minimum of 35-40 hours per month almost anywhere in the system, bfi included. More if you volunteer for saturday flights, ups specials, etc.

PM freightdogs and she could probably coordinate with recruiting so your app doesnt get kicked out of the system for not meeting the ifr mins yet. It shouldnt be a big deal to schedule for an indoc a month or 2 away when you will have the time. You can also fly as a vfr captain and upgrade when you get to 1200.

On the 6 weeks training that starst in TX, how much of that is consecutive? The whole 6 weeks? Or are there breaks to go home? Is there a schedule you could post that shows what training consists of and timeline? Thanks!

Honestly, plan on being away the entire time..
Maybe with stuff scheduled on one or two weekends, like simulator sessions. It's possible that you might get sent home for a couple days, between ground/sim training, but you will have so much to read and study, you might wish you hadn't....it will still be study, study, study.
Yes...for a couple months your life is training...
And you are drinking from a fire house....
But when you are done...it will feel so good.
