Re: Winter Rant

Great post Doc!! I always love to hear the wisdom of (no disrespect) the old guys. Let's face it, if you made it this far, it's probably because you were smart enough to stay alive :D . I like your remark about personnal limitations. To me it is very important. When you start asking yourself "what t...

Re: Aviation Employment for Young Fresh Pilots

Hey Kevin, These are tough times for a lot of people and lots of guys with experience are looking for work. That being said, some people do seem to get lucky so I guess there is some movement, but it seems to be very limited. Just apply everywhere and keep applying man. Make the phone calls, go see ...

Re: Pilots on Food Stamps

BoostedNihilist, sorry buddy, but I'm not going to get into a pissing contest with you. You have your own opinion and that's fine. But if you think that by having tax brackets that increases with your wage makes you wanna work twice as hard. WOW!! you need to do your research before calling out some...

Re: Is There Movement?

thanks . I see what you're saying, makes sense. BTW I never said I was getting shafted by anybody. I'm actually that 1000hr guy looking for something else. I'm not complaining though. Even if it would be nice to move on to something else I actually think companies should promote from within whenever...

Re: Is There Movement?

Wolfie is right. Been trying to get out of where I am right now. Got recommended to different companies by quite a few friends, and the only respons I am getting is "sorry, we are only promoting from within at this time" or they are not hiring at all. I'm not sure I get it though. Why is it that 2 y...

Re: I'm Stuck

Call places, send resumes everyday and if you can drive to schools and introduce yourself. It sucks man I know, I've been there, but it's the ...

Re: commercial vs private schedule???

No they do photography, I know that they do not require an OC tho they do have one, but I was curious to know how can only one of their planes be commercially registered and the other ones private. A friend of mine is nervous about the maintenance or lack of it for the number of hours they put in a ...

commercial vs private schedule???

I just want to have some thoughts on this one. There is a company that operates 5 planes and only one of them is on a commercial schedule. I wont say the name or what they do, but it is a seasonal job and they fly around 500 hrs in 4-5 months. I will say that I think they should be on a commmercial ...
