| I got a call from my ACP today asking me if I wanted to be an F.O. in the Brasilia. After going back and forward through the Pros and Cons, I've decided to go ahead and do it. Heres my logic: I'm already flying the Beech 99 getting PIC time. I should be upgrading to the Metro by Febuary. Right now, they have me flying the chieftan twice as much as the 99. Since I can only be qualified in two aircraft at a time, I won't have to fly the chieftan anymore. Now I will be dual qualified in the 99 and Brasilia. So I still be getting the PIC time in the 99. I will come out of this with two crew experience in an EFIS equiped aircraft which I believe is over 20,000lbs, a metro type rating, and a ton of turbine time. I will still be system TDY. Once I get the metro type, I will be getting metro pay reguardless of what aircraft I'm flying(unless I decide to upgrade to Brasilia captain and be making more). The big thing that sucks is that I've just gotten out of 99 training about a month and a half ago and now I have to start studying another aircraft that is totally different. Plus, ground school starts next Monday. |

Pilot754 and you are probably correct. had he finished by now he would have been sure to let us know. Never met the guy, but there has to be a disconnect somewhere and he doesn't seem to get it.

| So after talking to you tonight in the crew van about your F.O. opportunities, I figured out who KLB is... Sawwwweeeet! Glad you've been gracing Dallas with your presence. Keep it up and just stop over to the MAF E120 if you'd like a run down or help with any of the flows/study materials/etc. |
