SW4 Captain add at Carson

Post by Big Pistons Forever »

According to the add you only need 1000 hours to be a "Senior" Captain on Metro III. Almost 40 years in the industry and I have never seen pilot requirements on so low. Its a brave new world.....

And they pay 85k according to the ad. That's not bad for 1000 hours...

Good thing the Metro is known for being extremely easy to fly with its great automation, overperformance in icing, a glass cockpit that makes AC 787’s skippers jealous and operating in Northern BC in winter requires no real IFR experience. Oh and it’s nose wheel steering landing on contaminated runways - chefs kiss. Truly a feat of engineering. Aviation’s best kept secret.

In twenty years time when your kids ask how you got into flying you want to be able to say "work and determination" not "I just kept taking money from your grandparents for type ratings until someone was stupid enough to give me a job"

At least its 85 now. It was 45 when they offered it to me a year or so ago. They were confused as to why i’d say no…

Of course, that's why they won't even allow you to spray it with type IV: it doesn't need it... :wink: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Flew it to decades at Perimeter for half that.

I love where the Canadian industry is going.
