Hello aviators

Will 100 hours on floats ( C180, C172, piper cub)
possibly get me a float job ?

Thanks

Yes, probably.

Depends on allot of factors, including right place right time.

I just started on a ramp with a large float operator, starting with me is a guy with no float rating who will complete it later, as well as someone who completed their CPL on floats and has 100 hours. Most operators will be looking at how much OPERATIONAL float time you have.

Yes. 100%

The real question is whether they'll want you back the following year. Too many young guys don't know how to work hard these days, shy away from taking the initiative, and always need to be given directions. If you're the exception, you'll do fine.

Lol. Nowadays the real question is if the pilot would *want* to return the next year. Too many old style companies don't know how to properly treat their pilots, paying them marginal wages and overworking them with barely legal schedules, always micromanaging and pushing to bend the rules. If you're the exception, you'll be fine.

You see the dichotomy of the statement right? With close to 30 years in aviation, I have come across too many people who call themselves managers and don't know how to lead.
