Calling All Wannabes

I was wondering if I could get a roll call of the wannabes using this site while looking for employment and the different levels of experience that everyone is hoping to secure a job with? I think most people would like to know whom they are stacked up against.

If this is a repeat post then disregard.

I'll start, 1300tt and 125 multi-engine, mainly all piston instruction time. Hoping to fly something with a turbine soon.

Flat Tire, surely you must have flown an aircraft with a turbo charger in it. The old turbine driving the old centrifugal impellor .

Actually I haven't..........the 310 doesn't have one.

I only get to hang out in the low altitudes, but I think you know what I meant about turbine.

Smart A**

It sounds like a good idea,

1000 TT 100 multi only piston time and most of it through flying instruction.
FAA and soon JAA rated.

Hoping to fly a turbine soon (I will let you know)

Good luck and good flying

No experience (yet) but a bloody good education that should prove useful when airlines want newbies! Well, here's hoping. Just out of interest, do they really care about that sort of thing when it comes to sponsorships? I'd have thought they're training people up anyway, so prior experience would prove useful but not essential. Comments appreciated.

FT,

Sorry, could not resist .

I know you mean two Roll Royce Trents buzzing away under each wing, wouldn't that be nice!

To now answer your question, I am in the early stages of flying training. Just finished ATPL study and just started CPL training. Hoping to work for an airline or maybe private charter work.

How does the Cessna 310 go, just out of interest?

Good luck on you training!

I do love the 310 but it seems to be a bit hard on the students. It's not very forgiving on landings. Other than that she is a beautiful bird, she flies fast and looks good doing it. Especially when you pull up to the pumps and you sit higher than all those Pipers.......Gives a warm fuzzy feeling until the local G-V pulls on the ramp. Then your not so cool anymore.

Thanks for the response. Hopefully I will have that all to come. I was in Naples a few weeks ago, and there was a Cessna 310 on the ramp standing by for maintenance. I was not aware how big they were, until I inspected it up close. Just need to fly one now .

Good luck yourself sir, maybe even see you in the sharp end one day.

Aardvark,

How do you get an ATPL without any multi crew time?

Even though you have enough hours for an ATPL, I would have thought you would only have a FROZEN ATPL?
