Airnet Systems

[jeroom]

Hi everyone,

I'm new on the forum.
I'm interested in working for Airnet in the future.
Has anyone here ever worked there? if so, I will appreciate any comments or tips on how to make it to the interview with Mr. Washka...
This company seems to be a pretty good place for a first cargo job.

Thanks in advance

I flew for AirNet from 1998-1999. My information may be a bit dated, but I'll try to tell you what I remember about them. I left there to go fly for a regional airline. I enjoyed my time at AirNet. The pay wasn't stellar, but it was enough at that point in my life, and certainly a vast improvement over my meager flight instructor earnings. The benefits were very good. The maintenance there is outstanding. After going through four initial training cycles at two regional airlines, I will tell you that AirNet's training is demanding, but it is very good. Keep in mind that most of their piston operations are single pilot, and they expect the PIC to be able to consistently perform to the standards of an instrument-rated commercial pilot. They stress knowledge of aircraft systems and instrument skills. They also stress attitude. You are going to be out there by yourself, and they expect you to get things done if they can be done legally and safely. Many people back during my time there who washed out of training sailed through a regional airline's training program only months later. Don't get me wrong, the training is demanding, but if you know the AIM, have a good scan, and are willing to learn to do things their way, you will excel. As far as interview preparation, I imagine you'll still have to fly some sort of simulator, so make sure your scan is very sharp. I'd also make sure that you know the AIM well, and that you also know the multiengine airplane you're current in well. If you are offered a job there, enjoy it. You'll get to fly some great airplanes and gain very valuable PIC experience in demanding conditions that will set you apart from other pilots with a similar amount of total flying time. I hope I've been helpful.

You've been very helpful!!

Thanks a lot for all those informations, it looks exactly what I am expecting. I am a flight instructor right now, and it looks like I'm going the same path as you did a couple years ago...I know I will enjoy it.
