I'm currently in the time building phase at Skywarrior. The schedule is definitely filling up around here. RTP guys are pouring in weekly. I have been on the night schedule and have been doing pretty well. The weather has been really making it tough. I'm not sure what your schedule is, but commuting 3 hours after work and trying to get in a 6 hour flight sounds dangerous.

Actually, I would just take a Friday or a Monday off, make it a 3 day weekend , find a cheap hotel, and try to get maybe 15 to 20 hours in. Just keep doing that over and over until done. That would allow me to keep working.

This would require a lot of leniency on an airline's part tho.

I'm in a similar situation, except I have all of my ratings and just need another 150 hours FW PIC. I would need to work, and I live 3 hours from P'cola.

When I went through Skywarrior back in May/June, Greg was running a couple of planes out of Enterprise and seemed to be seriously considering putting a few birds out of Marianna for time builders. I don't know where you're coming in from but if the other locationa are still happening, it may be a closer option.
Maybe someone has better updated information here. You could also try calling Greg at Skywarrior.

Ok, thanks for that info! I'm out of the Ft. Rucker/Dothan area, so those may be some great alternatives!
