Questions for C-130 Aircrew
If anyone who's ever flown the C-130 (any variant), or worked with it extensively would be able to answer a couple of this students questions, you'd be a massive help.
Cheers guys.
- How many hours do you fly on average per year?
- If you wanted to continue flying the C-130 in the civilian world, what salary would you expect?
- To your knowledge, how much does it cost per hour to fly?
- If you were put in charge of training for a FO who had never flown the type before, what kind of training programme would you implement?
Cheers guys.

T'was a while ago but...
400. But lots of raf B-S on the ground twixt flights. Once got a ballocking for not putting face time in during the year when I'd done 600H
I earn £67K now. That'd do.
~£10K. But that was when £fuel > £servicing
Intense, and generally at the end of a sharp tongue & 'nav rule'. Lots of sims, 24 hours over 12 trips into unfamiliar airfields, at least a route across each of europe, The Pond (and beyond), and africa.

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
