iam currently flying as a captain on the King Air With DAT.
i started myself as a first officer trainee two months ago and last month got upgraded as a captain.My career was not moving in the right direction until i got on with the the program.I do not believe i could have become a captain in any country and i mean any company within two months of first officer experience.
Lots of pilots think once they have obtained their CPL and 22o hours they are ready for the right seat job on the 737.
And the question about people have been sitting standby since last summer is something you can justify yourself with me.
Iam willing to answer any questions regarding this matter.
The fact is some of our New FOTs wants to be off when pilots are required and when we need them some of our captains are flying single pilot operations (only cargo).
Guys if you want to get done it is matter of dedication and showing some kind of entisuasim.Working hard and getting that big job your are dreaming about is not something that happens overnight.
In my time in DAT and from other fellow pilots people who have worked good and hard have all advanced in their careers.
For me personally being a captain on the king air making 24-25000 a month is more than satisfying.
And a upgrade on the ATR within 6-9 months.
and where you make more money than flying in lots of other companies in Denmark.
Pilots with 220 hours what experience do they posses????????
And what do they expect?
This is aviation and people have the tendency to say things without specifying all the facts.
"i heard this about DAT and so forth"
Iam open for a discussion with everyone about this matter.
And try to be a professional and give your suggestions or comments in an open way.
