Flying my first turboprop for Alpine

[Mavmb]

I got hired to fly the Beech 99 for Alpine air. This will be the first turbine aircraft I have flown, so it is an exciting opportunity for me. I will be Salt Lake City based.

Congrats, this would be why I greeted your flight number the other night and got no response!

It was probably Chris flying. He's antisocial.

Congrats.

If you head to Price, watch those wires. Devil's in the details.

Ha. And if you hit them, don't lie and say it was a bird that tore your vert stab in half...

OP: Congrats on the gig! Did Alpine gain some runs from AMF?

I thought I had the flightaware track of that flight that clearly showed a straight out climb.

Rumor is Ameriflight doesn't want the routes in SLC. That sounds weird to me though because Ameriflight is always trying to take over the world.

Ameriflight is currently in survival mode thanks to the pilot shortage...For example, they took on my old base (ABQ) in 2014 by underbidding the company that had that contract for 30 years. When I left AMF in November, that old company had 3 of the runs back because AMF couldn't cover them. It very well could be more by now.
