Retired drivers, look no further...

Check the attachment.

Any other qualified CPL or ATP licensed pilot need not apply....RETIRED airline pilots ONLY.

You know, the pilots with the DB pensions, 1 boat, 2 houses and 3 ex spouses. etc.

80k is far better than I ever made flying a 'Ho - it'd be nice seeing some pilots that need this money be considered.

I don’t think there’s many retired airline pilots that want to fly a Navajo in retirement.

This has horrible company culture written all over it…

[twa22]

If it's retired airline pilots only, shouldn't the hour requirement be minimum 15000 hours instead of 1500?

[mmm..bacon]

Im sure that there's more than a few Jazz/Encore/Porter F/Os who'd consider 'retiring' for $80K

I don’t think there’s many retired airline pilots that want to fly a Navajo in retirement.

I know a number of 703 operations that have a retired airline person in the CP position. In the one I know well, that person looks after all the training flights, occasionally does a charter, and they really enjoy it.

Then there is the other extreme, one of the folks I know that started out the same time I did falls into that category. 3 wives later, some financial mismanagement along the way, and its survival money.

I’m not retired, or interested, just curious. Who is Cyruss air and what do they do? Google didn’t turn up anything besides the job add.

When I saw that post I thought it was ridiculous too

Google shows a Nancy Alston in Toronto (416 number) that works for My Storage whose CEO happens to be named Cyrus. A quick peek at his Instagram shows him flying a Diamond DA-62. Guessing this might be the job.

You're telling me that they pay more to fly a piston twin than any Q400 first officer in Canada?

Technically, when I searched the info in the post, one of the results was a job listing page that just copied the info from PCC, but it did have the mystorage.ca email address for Nancy. That led me to their website and sure enough, Cyrus is the CEO and he has been a pilot for 25 years or so, according to his Instagram feed. Which features a new Diamond DA-62 as his new toy. Not many of those registered in Canada and there happens to be one, still registered to Diamond Canada, that has his initials in the registration (rich dudes love to monogram their airplanes!). Flightaware has it doing a bunch of short trips and training, in the area that the company is based, along with a few longer trips that happen to match up with some of the Instagram posts too.
My guess is Cyrus is looking for someone to look after his new plane as well as ride shotgun when he goes on trips. Figures a retired airline pilot won't want much more money than he is offering to do that. Maybe has sights on something bigger and a bit more complex than the Diamond eventually or even plans to make Cyruss Air into an actual commercial operation.

If that is the case, certainly a nice cushy retirement gig for somebody

Looks like they discovered avcanada viewtopic.php?t=156603&sid=345c2eaac95b ... 627deeb85e

Kind of curious how the safety pilot thing would work. Usually that's an insurance requirement, and logically speaking (I know, logic and insurance doesn't always mix) you'd think there would be a certain experience requirement from said insurance company.

The only pilots that would be interested in a 'GET YOUR TWIN ENGINE HOURS FOR FREE!!' kind of scenario, would be the pilots without said experience.

How would you even be building it. Safety pilot implies there is no multi crew SOPs, so it doesn't look like you would be able to log anything.

The babysitter gets listed as PIC. They are then responsible for all the screwups of their "boss" in the left seat.

Kind of like poor Sq. Ldr. Laurie:

The Prince of Wales has given up piloting royal flights following his crash in the Hebrides last year in which a Queen's Flight passenger jet was damaged to the tune of pounds 1m.

St James's Palace announced the Prince's decision yesterday as an RAF board of inquiry found that the aircraft's captain had been negligent in allowing him to take the controls.

Prince Charles was not blamed because, despite holding the RAF rank of group captain, he was regarded as a passenger who was invited to fly the aircraft. The inquiry can pass judgment on the crew.

It was not in dispute, however, that the Prince was at the controls of the BAe 146 when it landed awkwardly and too fast in high winds on the Isle of Islay last June, slewed off the Port Ellen runway and came to a halt with its nose buried in mud. Six crew and five passengers were on board but no one was injured.

The RAF report into the accident, released in the House of Commons yesterday, concluded the jet was flying 32 knots (40mph) too fast when it crossed the runway threshold. Only 509m (557yds) of the 1,245m-long (1,362yd) strip remained when all the aircraft's wheels touched down, causing a tyre to burst and another to deflate.

The captain, Squadron Leader Graham Laurie, was negligent "in the final stages of the flight". Although he still flies with No. 2 Royal Squadron, he may no longer act as an instructing or supervising pilot.

Talk about throwing someone under a bus.

If you're experienced enough to keep on top of the airplane owner, you're probably not in need of building hours, and you'll want and deserve a significant salary for putting your experience at his disposal. If you still care a lot about the hours, then you're likely not the right person to supervise someone in their shiny $1m twin.

That would be one way. But that way the 'boss' wouldn't gain any experience on paper either, so that wouldn't help his insurance case either...

Definitely something for potential 'candidates' to clarify with their future 'boss'. Ask about salary as well...

[photofly]

Insurability is usually based on an assessment of time in seat, not PIC time. If an insurer wants you to have 50 hours on a single-pilot type before they will cover you, they will usually approve another pilot to fly dual with you for those 50 hours. I don't believe it really matters who is the PIC during those hours. If I was that other pilot I would likely want to be PIC for some or all of them, for reasons discussed.

Not saying that's the requirement here, but experience on type for insurance purposes isn't necessarily the same as PIC.

In answer to the obvious question, yes, I would log the time in my personal log, for reference, but (unless flown with an instructor who's authorized to provide dual training) not add the time into any totals.
