From a ASA questions forum:
JetJock65: I have way above the mins.
1300 TT 900+ Jet. I submitted the app. that they have on there web...

How were you a captain? I don't think insurance would by off on you being anything but an FO.
Well then obviously you are not familiar with Pt. 91 aviation. If a company is willing to pay the increased Insurance premiums to have a low time Capt., then anyone with a PIC type rating could be "qualified" to fly as PIC. Do you think that pilot/owners of jet aircraft always have thousands of hours? I think not.

Again, not trying to be a ball buster but this doesn't seem believable.

From another thread, titled "Will the insurance company go for this?"
http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/sh...ad.php?t=23925

Aircraft 1: King air 100. I will be flying this aircraft single pilot PIC.
Aircraft 2: Learjet 35A. I will be co-captain on this aircraft.

Pilot:
1500 Total, 850 Multi, of which 650 is Jet SIC in a RJ (Regional pilot). . . 100+ sitting dumby seat in the king air 100 a couple years ago and 50+ish SIC in the beech 1900 (another regional).


Posted in the corporate section, the overwhelming response from part 91 corp guys is that there is no chance that this guy would be insured to be the pic on the lear. He has more time than you, and could hold an ATP. They still say no.

Just smells fishy to me. With your logic I could leave this job and be a midsize corp jet pilot with 1850 TT/1000 Multi.

The problem is that they are pilots not insurance agents. Like I said, if a company is willing to pay the increased premium for their insurance anything is possible(to an extent). If it smells fishy to you I dont know what to say. I have no reason to lie, it does nothing for me. Trust me in saying this, that there are alot of corp. pilots out there flying with low time, and it is only a myth that you have to have high times in order to fly corp. aviation.

I don't doubt you flow a sabre, honestly. My only gripe was that you claimed to be the Captain. I have no doubt you are qualified as an FO.

True, they are pilots, but they represent a spectrum of operations around the country. Each uses a different insurance company, and it is their belief that someone with more time than you would not me insurable as the PIC on a similar jet. I trust their word, as many of them are the PIC's of their respective aircraft, thus knowing the requirements to be insured as one.

Again, don't doubt you were and FO and I even don't doubt you were typed in the aircraft.

I thought your comment was strange: "I'm 26 ... Until recently I was a Captain of a Corp. Jet in S. Florida and can tell you this, most of the "older" CoPilots that I flew with actually enjoyed flying with me, they even got to learn a thing or two."

Seems like it should have been the other way around.

Your still not hearing me or understanding what I said. I was an FO for about 700hrs in the sabre and was the CAPTAIN/PIC for about 200hrs before leaving the company. When I was the CAPTAIN/PIC there was no one else with a PIC type in the aircraft except for me, only a co-pilot with an SIC type rating making him/her the SIC or co-pilot and myself the PIC or CAPTAIN.

You need VERY STRONG instrument skills. Currently there's 5 sims and a checkride. We fly at night to Mexico, without radar, flying arcs to VORs. We also do trips where you fly at night from a little uncontrolled field in the Midwest, into LAX. It's you and the captain. There's no ground support when you're away from our YIP base. Short-notice callout is 25" in YIP.

It is a decent job (I was at Trans States and USAF and like this better). Last Jun one of our Falcon FOs made $7k. Base is $33K-about $50/hour with a 55 hour gaurantee. 10 hard days off every 28, either 10 in a row or 5/5.

Randy Hotton is the hiring guy:
[email protected]
work: 734-547-7244
fax: 734-547-7388
He is pilotyip on flightinfo.

cliff
YIP

If U want more info from me, get me your email.
(I am atpcliff on flightinfo, propilot, and aptap.org)
ATPCliff,

Did you attend ATP flight school, hence the screenname. I am interested in the position. I have my instrument rating, and will have my commercial multi in less than a month. Should I just contact Mr. Hotton, or are you going to send more information via email. My email address is [email protected].

Thanks for the information.

Dude...3 points about this post:

1) The first way to get a job is not to post your e-mail address in a public forum expecting someone to contact you. That's what PM is for-->because the person can contact you back at their convenience, not surf through every thread on the site and then open a email program just to email you back. Just a word of advice about getting your first job and making contacts.

2) Your question has been answered in this thread before, but you probably didn't take the time to read through it since you asked again. So I'll say again what I said earlier in this thread:

3) While I don't work at USAJet, I do know that a month or two ago he was looking for 1 year of regional 121 time for DC9FO and 500/100+ as a minimum for Falcon FO (and I think he wanted to see some sort of familiarity with jet operations/advanced training type stuff for that). Since the regional market is slowing a little, and the majors are slowing hiring too, I would assume any fluctuation in time would be upwards, but maybe Cliff will stop through and tell you.

I don't know whether it's true or not, but for some reason I feel like those guys who got on with 250/280ish last year might have been ANG guys outta UPT or people with some solid connections. Maybe I'm completely wrong though.
But seriously, PMing seems to work better than posting e-mail addy's in public forums.
