Low time resume on the way!!

unclenobby · February 4th, 2009, 13:20

There was a good article in Flying Mag recently on the P180 - pretty impressive machine.

SIUAv8r · February 4th, 2009, 13:30

Had an F/O in my base take a voluntary furlough to go there. He said you need to know someone there right now in order to get an interview. I guess they have been getting a lot of resumes with the furloughs going on.

HVYMETALDRVR · February 4th, 2009, 21:07

Couple guys I worked with at Alpha went there, I heard mixed things. I know at one point they were also in a lot of financial trouble about a year or so ago, but despite everything in the past year there still around, hats off to them!

Hmm, very interesting. Time to make a few phone calls. Thanks for posting.

edit: From an associate of mine who is there right now. 12 month training contract, just an FYI. He enjoys the company and has enjoyed the flying. He was an "airline" guy, furloughed from AirTran.

AviatorGator · February 5th, 2009, 17:11

Anyone on this forum ever flown the P180? I've always wondered how the catfish of the sky handles...

USMC-SSGT · February 5th, 2009, 19:30

I sent an app in although in todays market I may as well have just sent my app to fedex as im sure it will get the same attention.

Murdoughnut · February 5th, 2009, 23:08

Apparently there's no sim for the P180 because they do all of their training flights there at PIE. I see them in the pattern all the time.

danerickson11 · February 13th, 2009, 11:15

They train with FlightSafety in West Palm. Says so on their website. I work for FlightSafety and we have P180 sims in West Palm.

LOGS · February 15th, 2009, 12:41

Anyone know how much they're paying their FO's. I saw the training at West Palm. Wonder how much the training costs.

I used to have Avantair land ahead of me in Addison. It only took me ONE go-around before I learned to begin ridiculous and humongous S turns on final cause they slowed down SO much it was like they'd hover in-then slowly taxi all the way to the end of the runway. The super sexy, silky voice tower lady didn't even fuss at them, but thankfully, I managed to keep my Yap shut.
