Precision Air

Hi,

Why would you say that ? I'm suppose to start flying for them on the 72-500 next month, I don't know much about them.
From what I heard they seems to be pretty decent. Unless you tell me otherwise...

You wont be needing them anymore

Thumbs up

One thing I can tell you in Precission there is now a "new" generation of training captains, which means
there will be an upgrade from F/O to Captain once you reach a required time on type.
Not like when upgrade to Captain depended on how you look, smell, walk or where you drink.
Prove yourself in Sim and you get the Left seat.
It is happening.
Go for it bud.

Devil

Que pasa!
How about "no more seneca 1 pilot"
Sticking to the original thread, I would like to know what ground speed the 72-500 does at FL 240 at nearly max take off wt with "no wind"...

406 pilot please leave my brother "no more 206 pilot" alone.
Back to the thread, Spearomic, i don't think that you will start flying the ATR 72-500 straight away, they will make you fly ATR 42 for some time before upgrading even though the initial training will be for both.

holla,

u mean i should leave ur fellow benz lover alone sio? i heard u added another one to ur fleet..

for lowbybass: buddy dont worry about the speed, we will fly more Quietly then them..and once they are used to the Q-comfort, we will add the 400's and watch them fly backwards..

only in precision will u face such complications as upgrade to the atr72 or upgrade to the -500..i wonder why airbus introduce CCQ (cross crew qualification) they probably didnt know how "tanzania's finest" operate

BTW did anyone read yesterdays guardian? there was an article about airbus putting a manufacturing plant in tanzania....and no it wasnt in the humour section..

keep it up there fellows,

Right I guess I should take the title of "No more 208 pilot" before someone else does.

I do, but after a near mid-air with a certain company's ATR I must admit that it became rather small rather quickly


Keep them up there,

72

Actually (737 lovers),

I'll be flying the 72 directly coz it is the only one I've been flying since.
I don't know how u did with ure negociations, but they were very understanding and they gave me a decent salary as well.
I should start next month once my contract in my current airline is finishing.
I will come with an other pilot from my current airline.

406 pilot, i just found out that ''No more 206 pilot'' is not my brother ''benz lover'' we all thought he is, you better investigate as usual.
Spearomic goodluck with your ATR 72-500, what i can promise you is that you will enjoy Tanzania, but i can't say much about precisionair simply because i'm not working for them.
Cheers!

737love-her

holla,

who the hell cares who he is dude, the guy needs to get some style of his own, 406pilot is not wht he is today by copying someone's style.. if u wanna be the tip of the sword u gotta be original.

spearomic u will be very lucky to get any info from actual people who fly for pw cause they either are not computer literate or are too busy flying beyond their duty time (no offence cowboy), but i can promise you will fly the machine like its never been flown before,those atr's are normally used to race against the 737 and sometimes with some funny controllers even win, in other words they fly the atr close to 0.74 mach..yeah i know u think its not possible then again ever wonder why the impala on the tail is running in the opposite direction to the aircrafts flightpath ?

keep it up there fellows,

no more 406pilot

duty time

It is true what you said about duty times, looks like I'm gonna be used to 120hrs a month, that's what they told me upfront... But if I get the money for it at least there is a positive point...
but I ain't got anything else right now so I'd rather fly more than what I'm suppose to than not flying at all


no more DHC6 pilot
