ya im instructing right now out in sacramento for atp and its not too bad 2000 a month after rent and flying all twins ... i almost thought of going out to hawaii to instruct or find a job flying cargo or anything for like 6 months just for a change... i was looking at air wisconsin but i gotta wait until 500 before i go for them ... what are some good freight places? anything in washington state?

I wouldn't have been in such a rush to get out of ATP had they been paying me 2000/mo after rent! I was pulling in a whole 800...ouch! Ya'll got it too easy ;)

"what are some good freight places? anything in washington state?"

You'll need 1200 total for PIC 135 freight. SIC 121 freight in WA? About the only one I can think of is Empire out of Coeur D Alene, ID. I don't think they hire low timers, either.

Doesn't Ameriflight do some flying out of WA? Like Seattle area? If I remember correctly, they have a right seat program if you're close on times. I don't think 450TT is close enough but it doesn't hurt to check into it. Other option might be some VFR stuff like traffic watch, pipeline patrol, fish spotting, fire spotting, etc.

Not sure what your hurry is. $2000/month flying twins (all PIC btw) and $2000/month flying RJs (all SIC) spends the same, doesn't it?

ya ive heard of ameriflight but like 727 said i am nowhere near their minimums... ahhhh washington i wish their were more jobs out there i love the mountains lol, i dont mind instructing though its fun.. i just want to travel baaad !!

I wouldn't call riding the shuttle to the Holiday Inn in the dark after a long day, then riding the shuttle back to the airport the next morning before the sun comes up "traveling".

but the benefits getting to hop on flights and travel around on days off isnt too shabby... dont be a party pooper!

Hate to break it to you but you get pooped on a lot at this party we call the regionals.

After a month or two of jumpseating and non-revving you won't really want to see an airplane on your days off.

Don't let anybody tell you the Jumpseat bennies aren't everything you think they are!
