Commut Air BEECH 1900
 

This is my first post in the forum! I have a question. I noticed Continental Connection Beech1900s flying in to KCLE today and Friday. I have seen a beech sitting out side the MX hanger for weeks. I saw one sitting at the gates today. So I was not sure what they where doing because I could not think of any one else that operated beech 1900s out of CLE other then Commut air, but they are retired from the fleet. And Colgan does not operate them out to CLE as far as I know. So are the Beech 1900s returning to Commut air? Or is it another regional operating them? :confused:

I think they are Gulfstream Intl Airlines, as in pay $25,000 to sit in the right seat of a 1900 Gulfstream fame.

More important question...... Are they hiring :D

When you pay to be there, a job is "always" open

Ouch, nevermind... I missed that part..... But the way wages are, I wouldnt be surprised if more resort to charging for right seat time.

PAY $25,000 TO SIT IN THE RIGHT SEAT!!! HECK NO!!! im already paying out the wazooooooo to get my inst, comm...and the rest of em!!

Good to know you've got your head on straight. Welcome to the forums!

Ya Pinnacle is filled with Ex Gulfstreamers...
So you can pay 100K to fly an RJ at Pinnacle for 22K a year!
What a joke

Build your time and move on. I have a buddy who flew for Mesa and has since moved to Europe flying the RJ. Pay is 97k room and board provided.
I've noticed more and more pilots heading over the pond for work. :rolleyes:

Europe is not an option with an FAA ticket... your gonna have to try the other pond.. but there's a lot of competion for those jobs.

Why would it not be an option with a FAA ticket? I thought JAA accepted FAA rated pilots.

Uhhh, sure, if you're flying a N-registered airplane. If you're flying an aircraft registered in a JAA-member country, you gotta have a JAA rating.

If it was just a matter of the JAA licenses, I think a lot of American pilots would be studying up and getting their conversions done. The bigger issue is having the getting the right to work in the EU, very few if any employers will sponsor you for a work permit like some US regionals did when they were desperate for warm bodies to fill their right seats. Plus, you generally have to be fluent in the appropriate national language to get hired at most of the european national carriers.

That I'm not sure of.. I can ask my friend and find out but I think you have to convert them.

An FAA ATP ticket is ICAO... it just needs the paperwork push.

True but if you need a JAA ticket, an ICAO will not do

since when does gulfstream fly out of cleveland?.. commutair stopped flying the 1900 back in march, though i think they still have 2 left sitting outside the mx hanger

I have seen one 1900 sitting out side of mx during my drive to work (passing CLE on I480W) since I stated over a month ago.

Since Sept 3rd. They are doing EAS stuff. (3 cities I beleive). Any Beech outside the C5 hanger is For Sale.
