|  Re: how strict is freight flying?
How often do AirNet pilots fly single-pilot? I would assume that the "SIC time-building program" involves flying with a more experienced pilot in the piston twins (or caravan?). Do the Lear jets fly with two on board? The reason I ask is that I would want to make sure I was very confident in my abilities before I took an expensive airplane up solo. My next question may sound dumb but are there any physiological risks to carrying radioactive material? I would assume there are strict regulations for that but just to make sure you guys aren't growing extra toes or anything  |

 His run almost always has an "autopilot". No Navajo or Van runs have SIC's, since Airnet would have to train them for 135 SIC (read: $$$). Yes, the Lear is a 2 pilot crew, and you'll have at least 1 year before you see that.Quote:
 I think they kinda look better than the normal 6 toes. Yes, it is strictly regulated and you have dosimeter badges for checking radiation per month, quarter and year per DOT and OSHA requirements. So, I don't think I'm any different now than I was before Airnet. Now, Mike on the other hand, that guy was weird before he started, or so rumot has...You will be very confident in your abilities before they turn you loose. If you're not feeling very confident now, maybe you should get some IMC time, if possible. You know how to fly, right??? Well, it's just an airplane. Occasionally we (they) do approaches, which are just headings and altitudes. You can do that, right?!?! | ||

So far my SICs have been awesome. They have all been really cool guys but I honestly rather fly by myself. Being a passenger in a baron for half the night sucks.

How has MDW been treating you??? Tell James, Andy, Ramon, and all the other guys I said hi. One of these days I'll have an overnight there and stop by. And, yeah, that would suck being with another person every night in a Baron. Glad to hear they are all decent guys. |

607 changed a bunch right after you left. They sit in midway now forever. They leave when I do at 2:30.
