30 King Air Pilots Needed, Immediately

Get To a regional, hit the wickets, then apply. A clearance is a requirement for the SIC gig at L-3. If you meet the pilot 3 mins they are more flexible on that. Or apply to Dynamic aviation once you meet their mins.
already interviewed with dynamic, once they told me the pay no way in hell would i do that. i do need to support a family too. guess i'll just drop it i'm not flying a big twin or jet for 25k a year. thanks for the help though i do appreciate all aviation advice i can get. i guess i am kinda cornered into this agri business but money is good.
 
Can you explain why? From where I sit, it looks like it's way more exciting.
Maybe it's the hurry up and wait aspect, the tanker bros I know say that's one of the most annoying parts of the job.

Still sounds exciting to me, that's where I'm headed if this 121 stuff doesn't pan out

Not sure when you interviewed with Dynamic but they're fairly competitive in the ISR industry these days. At $725/ day oconus pay, you're only looking at $14k difference between them and the highest pay starting out ($800/day) over 180 days of rotation.

No idea what Ag flying pays, but if it's mid six figures, good for you.

One of my classmates in ISR indoc left a six figure Job flying drones to go to PSA for 12 months (at $17k total) to get the multi-turbine time he needed to get picked up with our current company... sometimes you've got to do what you've got to do to get where you want. Good news is the regionals pay has doubled in the last year if you change your mind.

It is... but don't do without good health insurance or before you reproduce. Your kids will have three heads.
 
Flying SEAT was boring, but flying racetracks around the sandbox in a king air won't be?
sometimes you can go for weeks never turn a prop, while on fire yes that's fun but also ain't into to liberal politics which is what that's all about in my opinion, maybe contract flying is the same but i don't know. just checking it out

I forgot they had Dashes. Wonder what that gig pays...
 
The plot thickens. You know if they just do transport with them, or different missions? The pics on their website have some sort of weird pods mounted on the fuselage, not sure if ISR

Can't comment on mission sets outside of what is advertised for any of the ISR company web sites... not all jobs are the same- once you get into the system you start to learn who is who In the zoo and what kind of stuff they do.
