NYY fan-
First of all TRADER, where is the SOX LOVE?!! just kidding
on a serious note, awesome post and greatly appreciated. Just the kind of info I am looking for. I am absolutely on the low side of hours and held back because I am currently in Iraq. On the upside i get back next month to the states and will resume flying nonstop until i leave the military next April. My plan from there is to go to Ari Ben and finish my ratings beyond private instrument (pay cash for the training, im all set on an obsurd loan) and then instruct for 12 months or so. I hope to be able to finish my commercial single and multi instructor ratings in under three months full time which shouldnt be a big deal needing only around 140 hours or so total.
Hopefully with the year instructing i hope to be sitting around +-1200TT and +-600ME. Although it will put me into the April of 2008 time frame it wont be too late to hopefully have a chance with some of these carriers.
Thank you very much for that info, I keep all of the things I am told in a notebook I carry with me for the future so no good info that i recieve goes to waste.

Apprarently there are no minimums. I talked to a few of their pilots while they stopped at my airport and they told me to just put in an app. So I did and when applied I was in the 900hr range. I applied probably 6 mon ago and got the call last month. Good luck, They seem like a good place to work. They have the King Air 90's

Heritage has grown a lot. Fleet now consists of:
4 King Air 90B's
1 CE-560 (Encore)
1 CE-560XL (Excel)
1 CL-601-3R (Challenger 601)
We could probably use another Excel, but who knows. As I said, we have grown a great deal in the last year, and are looking to grow more.

VTcharter,
Thats great to hear heritage is doing well, I completed my Commercial up there a few years ago when they operated the flight school and remember the Excel and King airs flying alot! do you know what kind of minimums they are hiring with these days? I plan to get my resume up there in a few weeks. Im currently a CFII in Glens Falls, but grew up in Vermont, would love to be back up there again.

I have never seen or heard of any hard minimums. Although they do not have any hard minimums, they do want people that have solid instrument knowledge and current instrument flying skills. (They will put you in the airplane if you pass the face to face interview, and you will be expected to demonstrate those skills) They have had trouble finding these applicants in the past. They hire into the right seat of the King Air, and you will move up from there as positions open. I don't think that they are hiring, but dropping your resume and showing interest couldn't hurt for when they are. Great comapny with good people and beautifully equipped aircraft. Good luck.

VT charter,
What are the schedules like a heritage, do they have you on call 24/7 or do you have hard days off? also, how close do they want you to be from the burlington airport, I just bought a house in NY a year ago, but am in the hunt for another home in VT, Im an hour and a half from BTV right now... hoping to learn a little about thier operation in terms of schedules and living situations... sounds like a great place and I really want to be back in Vermont.
