Time To Command ?

[Mercator]

Perhaps the wannabes should look at TNT in LGG. A recent promotion from RH to LH seat on the 146 had 1600 hours TT - not bad EH?
The downside (yes there has to be one!) is a crap Company, crap management & crap rosters. However, the crewing department have received several Oscars for creative artistic license.

In light of todays ad in Flight, how about GB Airways ?

[international bog trotter]

TNT aint so bad Mercator. Shame we're losing the nice crewing folk to the airways building though.

CSA Czech Airlines/4-5 years,depending (not so much)on skills,but rather on seniority.
Quite a few captains around here,that would not even pass a FO checkride at a "normal" airline

[Djoni Boerhanoeddin]

GA 13 years with 9700 hrs tt still not in sight when to land at LH seat, upgrading system are to be use by like and dislike or foe or friend

At Air India you start right seat on the A-310,move over to the classic 747's and finally on the 747-400.Then back to the left seat on the A-310's.Takes about 10-14 years and I think there are exceptions for guys from the air force.

Hey Guys/Girls if you want an early(jet) command come fly bmi commuter/regional,nice new aircraft(145`s) yes i know they are not as big as a 737/320/757,but hell at.76 who cares+no night flying, home every night& 5 big tellys to keep you in the picture, the 145 flight deck looks like something out of star wars compared to the 737. So what do you/we need to put you in the left seat?
3500-4000TT, 3000 if you have some jet time.
with another 7 a/c due before the end of April 2002 +another 10 to April 2003 we have lots of openings for the right people, and we will pay you 50K+ and you don`t have to live in London!!!! so fax that c`v now to SUSAN@BMC 01224 770141

[HEAVYWHALE]

Try 19 mo's from right seat typed in a 747-400 to Left seat in the 747 Classic. 5000 hr's and 28yr's old! Not that good, just in the right place at the right time.

But that's all gone now with AACS!

[Mercator]

A.A.

Well sort of; but the Evil Bookseller has appealed the unanimous decision by the Tribunal in my favour given on 07 March.

So it's not over yet. However, we may still get the video of him signing that cheque!!

INKJET Let us into your secret. What is a 145???WHERE ARE THEY BASED and what routes do they do?? Thanks.

[BluffOldSeaDog]

145 - as in Embraer145. Mach .76 as stated @ 37,000ft, great EFIS and handling - except xwinds >25kts ! Operated in the UK by BRAL (my opo), Brymon (soon to be "absorbed" into BRAL) & Midland.

Air New Zealand, 21 years plus to International Command. The S/O's arn't helped by the 60+'s electing to remain as F/O's.

[Cream Crackered]

I Kid,

18 Months to Command on the 727, not bad for your first Jet type! Not usually this shy, are you?

Well done in DUB!
