    Underpaid Pilots Are No Comfort To Trave

    Why heck… be proud that you’re at least identified as a pro-pilot. When I went back home just about everyone I saw who asked me what I was doing now equated corporate pilot to a private pilot. I was even asked when I plan on getting my commercial license so I could go and fly a jet for an...

    Anyone familiar with Lear 60 operations?

    Anyone familiar with Lear 60 operations? I applied to an operator who flies Lear 60’s and just recently and when I called to speak with them, the man I spoke to gave me a brief overview of the company and general operations. He said they operate two Lear 60’s worldwide from the US. They’ve...

    trying to become educated

    Avbug is quite right. The company I currently work for is fairly small, 10 planes and about 30 pilots. The owner is on a shoestring budget at best and does his ample best to borrow from peter to pay Paul just to keep our birds maintained to a level so, if the FAA ramped us in some out of the...

    corporate pilot input

    I’m going to go out on a limb here and take a position on this one. First, I am not [yet] a “corporate pilot” per se but I too strive to reach a solid position with a Fortune 50 company as apposed to the airlines others may seek. I feel that my calling is the left seat of a Citation X, G-V or...

    Expect Delays in Augusta Area for Master

    Expect Delays in Augusta Area for Masters Golf Tournament. Attention all you corporate and charter jockeys! Members should expect various levels of delay operating into and out of the Augusta area during the upcoming Masters Golf Tournament from April 8–15, 2002. In the past the FAA has...

    FAA: Air travel to rebound big in 2003

    And I remember Jane Garvey, about 6 months after she was appointed FAA Admin, responding to ALPA about its fears that aviation security was lax and something needed to be done before a tragedy happened. And in atypical politician style, she proudly responded that our airport security was the...

    Is it bad to be a work-a-holic?

    How many people, not employed by a good corporate job or scheduled operator, who are in a position similar to mine of working two flying jobs, fly nearly every day? Reason I am asking, I was updating my resume this evening and occasionally I like to skim back through my log, kind of like...

    A response from everyone would be great!

    Here is a suggestion. Go by a local flight school or FBO and ask to see an instructor, if they are free and have a couple of hours to kill buy them lunch (gotta get in good with the teach ya know) :) and tell them you are interested in learning to fly. Have them answer your questions as you...

    Flying for the U.N or IMF/Redcross etc.

    Hi Shon7, Shortly after concluding my commercial ticket I considered that very same thing. I initially contacted the Peace Corp and was amazed to find they had little use for pilots, they mostly want doctors, dentist, nurses or teachers etc… who can go in a teach or pass on a skill to...

    Man! What are friends for anyway?!?!

    Here is the other account he registered. La Rue. Just look at this. Moron man claims to hold more type ratings than half the senior captains at UAL combined! Geeeesh! Ah well, I can live with La Rue, what ever that is suppose to be, so I’m just going to change the info on this one and use it...

    Commercial Checkride

    La Rue’s advice for passing a check ride. Don’t accept an/any clearance from ATC if you are rushed feel pushed or need just a couple of extra seconds to “sort things out”. DO NOT be afraid to go missed on an approach if things begin to look iffy, minimums are rushing up at you faster than...

    Two questions about time building.

    First, what is a realistic time frame (in months), zero to ATP for someone today who chooses to enter into a good quality flight-training program such as FSI Academy at KVRB or at the Lakeland school? I am assuming here that a person would go the CFI route and teach at said school until the...

    Flight Options vs. Executive Jet

    Even though you may find flyingdog’s “tone” a bit unpalatable I think he was just trying to point out an obvious and not make fun of your experience. No one here I believe, would do that, as we all have been there. But having said that one must still speculate. 12 months ago COEX was begging...
