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.

Getting screeched in, bat faced on kokanelli and pulling the fattest bird in the club should just about get you graduated from the OCU.

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