Silver air ways hiring all

I'm in Mississippi now... No way in hell I'd ever move here. I'd ideally like to live in base but because I have a house in NE FL that isn't likely to happen anytime soon. So I'd settle for an easy commute.

Well son here at silver we believe that pilots need to blend with the locals and be apart of our community so on that note we:

Have uncommutable lines so you waste a day on each end of your days off

Live in places that don't even show up on google maps and have a majority of events that are not legal for pilots to do so we can't really blend in. IE meth, coke, weed ...

And get paid so little you can't afford to commute even.

Greenville is a SWING'N town to Cleveland (about 30 miles up 61)
 
I've been trying to think about 1 nice thing to say about Greenville for about 10 minutes. It's a hard thing to do! The closest things I can come up with are: low property values (which is a moot point if you feel like your in jail living in that town) and Doe's Eat Place (which is an enigma wrapped In a riddle- a steak house with three tables where steaks cost about $100 each and is situated in the middle of the ghetto). I think the nicest thing about Greenville is the feeling you get when you leave Greenville.

Every single sequence of work days for me next month are 0500 reports on the first day and 2145 release on the last day. Completely uncommutable. Due to those sequences, I would effectively loose 8 days off if I used Silver to commute in and out of base. With only 13 days off, that would leave 5 days to potentially be at home, and that does not take into account an airplane breaking down and hosing everybody's commute.

And people wonder why pilots are bailing for greener pastures...

I was going to day Doe's, and the armed parking attendant. Some of our best friends are still in Cleveland.

Cleveland is actually a nice gem of a town compared to the rest of the Mississippi Delta.

Doe's Eat Place...

Sure, it's in the ghetto, but it is generally left alone. Go east back across Broadway... all bets are off.

There are several decent bars down on Walnut St. that generally have good live entertainment on the weekends.

Other than that... I've got nothing.

I would move back to Cleveland if I could. I liked the town and now maybe since older its pace would be better for me.

Wife worked at a adult center about a block and a half from Does. No problems as everyone like her as they thought she could do more for them as their "white" social worker. They would give the shirt off their backs for you.
 
Good call with the bars- the only fun I had based there was when we would go to the blues bar. Damn good blues players there
 
March thru June? We flew together all the time :) I can tell you I did not do go arounds or try to hand fly a PRM, I am a male, and I'm in my 20s. Can you guess who I am?

I hate to ask this, as I'm gainfully employed now, but I have to ask. I have my BS from UND and I'm sitting on 1300 hrs. How does that whole exemption thing work, you apply and just say you have 1500 and then bring it up later on in the hiring process?

The way it works from my understanding is that you will need a letter from the school (in your case UND) stating how many credit hours of the FAA approved curriculum you completed, that you completed the syllabus/curriculum, and that you meet the requirements for the r-atp.

Best steak I've ever had was at a Doe's. Also extremely glad I wasn't on the hook for the tab...yikes!

Doe's does cook a great steak. With that being said, there is a place up the road in Cleveland called Backdraft that also cooks a great steak. Best not to be on the hook for that tab either. :)

I did a 5 pounder at Does one time. That shrimp and tamales. What a night. We then went to BR for ice cream.

Backdraft didn't exist back in my days.

It is. What really makes me laugh, is say you're flying around a 1900, SA227, EMB-120, F-27 or ATR-42(part 25 tprop) for freight under 135. You could do that for 10,000 hours as PIC but would be unqualified to have the same job under 121 even if it was still freight, the only difference being the certificate.

Nobody is going to fly an F-27 (are they even around anymore?) or an ATR under part 135. The EMB-120 is already slightly over the 7500 lb payload limit.

If you read the reg you can get the 1000 hours under 135 and 91k as well. It boils down to it either has to have more than 10 pax seats or jet not t-prop, all as PIC. So as an extreme hypothetical, you're flying a 737 under part 91 for some really rich guy who owns it outright, those hours don't count. Or you're flying a 1900 under 135 but don't have 10 seats in the back, again doesn't count somehow.

The really ironic thing to me is that all my single pilot part 135 PA31/350 time counts because it was a multi engine airplane under "commuter operations" and thus requires an ATP, but a BE1900 under on an on demand certificate doesn't count, explain that one! HAHAHAAA
