Agaga,

I apologise for my late response.

So what your saying Piper, is that operators of Metros, will automatically stick a pilot with just 2 years GA experience to captain without starting as a F/O?
Yes, some will. It took me 3 years though, not 2.

Failing that, your saying that Metro operators pay their pilots well above the Pilots award wage (as the award for Metros is several K less than a Saab.
Once again, yes, I know of Operators that pay over and above the award.

PPrune is filled with people complaining about how poor the money for pilots is in GA as are those in the industry in general - though they're just my observations. Maybe you can give us some examples of GA operators who do pay their pilots good rates?
I know of several, but I find the ones who whinge and complain, don't bother to go and find a better operator either, so why should they be spoon fed?

Anyway it appears they don't want me.
Sorry to hear that. So will you still persue a flying career even though you won't get to wear the train drivers hat?

nt pilot,

You may find the cadets have been told to keep thier mouths shut. Happy to be corrected on this one though.
