I was talking to a Pacific Wings crew recently in Georgia. I think it was Pacific Wings. If not, it was Pacific West. I can't remember. The first officer said he is working five 12 hour duty periods/week for $16,500/year. He was hoping to get on at Colgan or Compass. After talking to him further, I found out he's a college dropout. He seemed disappointed when I told him Compass was out of the question. He also seemed confused when I told him he'd be better off quitting flying than taking a job at Colgan or continuing what he's doing. It amazes me what people will do for a little flight time. This kid couldn't have a second job as he was working 60 hour weeks.

And multi engine, is multi engine, is multi engine...
Example: say two guys are applying for I dunno Skywest. One guy has 2000tt the with 800hrs Turbine PIC, face it SIC time in the caravan doesnt count. The other guy has 2000tt with 800 multi time (chieftan with AMF) time. Who do think would have the upper hand just given the time breakdown??? I'd go with the AMF'er hands down... |

Do their overnights still consist of sleeping in the terminal?

Just look at the track record... They'll never change as long as they have goobers applying. If you were to get hired they'd probably fire you within the year (nothing against you) Just ask the dozen or so captains and Fo's they let go for NO REASON.:rolleyes:

On a side note, who came up with that "see-ya" out in Boston |
