|  Re: Going to an Airport Bar Go to Kinkos. You can get a lot of cards on good paper for pretty cheap. I got some from there at one time, I still might have a few. Just had my name, "Certified Flight Instructor - CFI/CFII/MEI" on it, then my phone number, home airport, and e-mail address. Make sure it is clean and professional. Black type, common font, white card. Now our airline has cards with our tail scheme on it, so I'll probably end up with those. Then I can walk around and slap them on my hand and pass them around!  |

 | Re: Going to an Airport Bar I know... it could have been a good opportunity to log cross country time, literally. I've only been in these states in my life: CT, RI, MA, VT, ME, DE, VA, MD, FL, NY Never west of there... |

| Re: Going to an Airport Bar this one time before i had any flight time or certificates i was visiting my girlfriend in san juan,puerto rico,I was staying at the caribe hilton and there are allways pilots staying there.i was at the pool side bar just making conversation and i met a king air crew,do not remember what company they where with,but we talked for hours and i got a lot of advise so networking is,in my opinion more than just trying to get a job or getting the inside scoop.It is about making friends!.....sure wish that i had some of those business cards though! |

| Re: Going to an Airport Bar As far as Airport bars go, I dont know if that would be a hot spot for them. My company and I bet many others do not allow us to go to a bar even if we arent getting drinks, in uniform. So most of the time, unless your nonreving/commuting, airport bars are off limits. Your new job at the airport will be great, espcially for getting flight time! Best Move I made in HighSchool was working at the airport!  |

| Re: Going to an Airport Bar wow... this was an old post. I now have seen a lot of weird stuff in my 6 months at the flight school. Example: Hi this is Rob... is the airport IFR today? Should I fly? |

 | Re: Going to an Airport Bar Doug: I can't say enough about networking. 2 out of my last 3 jobs I have obtained from networking in and out of aviation. I was working full time as a freight dog and part time in a computer store. While talking to my boss at the computer store over lunch I mentioned that the freight job was getting old. He mentioned that he had a friend in management at an airline. I handed him a resume to foward on and in a week I had an interview then the job shortly after. I never would have thought a manager at computer store would be able to help with an airline job. |

| Re: Going to an Airport Bar Also....don't discount general aviation pilots in your networking endeavors. My best friend's parents own a Cessna 210 Centurion, so I am always talking with them. Anyway they introduced me to a guy who owns a Cirrus (which I got 4 rides in) who has a very good lady friend who flies corporate out of Orlando. Anyway she just so happened to be at their daughter's wedding, and she basically told me that when I get my commercial certificate(s) to give her a call and we can discuss some right seat time. Sounds GOOOOOOOD to me! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Moral of story: even the guy with the little cessna can help you out..... |

| Moderator  | Re: Going to an Airport Bar Ah Yes...The aviation form of six degrees of separation. I signed up with Angel Flight as a volnteer even though I do not have the 250 hrs req' yet. Sort of a co-pilot thing eventhough one is not needed. You get to meet a bunch of people and even ride in some nice airplanes; (nicer thatn the beat up Warrior's I had been training in). All the while you are helping people out and they are so greatful. |

| Re: Going to an Airport Bar That's exactly what I did. We did an angel flight for a 7 yr old girl with cancer. It is an organization I definately want to get involved in. |

| Re: Going to an Airport Bar I was talking to my mom the other day, and I never knew it, but I have a family member that flies the CRJ for Mesa outta PHX. On top of that, he even went to MAPD. Talk to him on the phone for a while tonight. Super nice guy, and I will definately keep in touch with him. |
