I wasn't THAT out of shape. It's not too taxing to "ask" the FO to help unload. And they pay for the privilege.

"Ask"
It's their job!
All the FOs have vanished. Three crashed their cars last snow storm. If its even remotely chance of precip they don't show up.
 
MX dudes love putting type I on your crew ladder. I think I fell twice due to type I and once just because.

It's even better when the deice truck that hits the big jets does our puny 99s! KABLAM, 1,000,000,000 gallons of fluid on EVERYTHING!

People frequently get hired at 500 hours in the emb FO spot. 1200hrs is only for PIC. And you will have to go thru the 99 metro/1900 before PIC on the emb.
But last I heard we lost two Brasilia runs in Texas so I doubt were hiring,

They are looking at getting work for those Bros out of other bases. The FOs will definitely not want to move to the bases they are likely going. I also know of another opening coming up in another bro.

There is no point in taking an FO gig if you have the 135 pic mins. More money and PIC stuff quicker that way.

I've NEVER flat spotted a 99 tire. First time I let an FO land, they did. Even after I told them not to try and be fancy trying to make C7 in Burbank! :mad:

I never flat spotted a 99 tire. First metro training flight and I found a way to flat spot one of the tires. Not bad enough to replace but flat spotting metro tires isn't exactly easy unless you are holding into the brakes at touchdown.

I hope we do. We really needed a Brasilia in SLC this week. FedEx ATR was down and we used FedEx 1900 to cover it.

Fortunately I am in a position to deal with 23K a year.
How do I go about applying for this position? On the website it says you must have 1200TT, so should i just put EMB - First officer on my application so they dont overlook it?

Also, I have a Bachelors and an Associates degree and I am working on my MBA as well. Would this help in the hiring process or is it all about flight time?

Thanks for everybodys help,

I really hope I get the chance to fly with yall someday
 
I flat spotted a 99 tire in training, didn't blow but they had to replace it. Oops. It still haunts me when I land the Lear, even though it has anti-skid it makes me nervous lol.

False. The BE99 requires yoga classes 3 times a week in order to contort oneself out of the "door". It's more of a full time used emergency exit. The pilot must do a 6 step process of putting hands out, contorting ones neck, then shoulders, then sort of a roll. At that point the pilot must figure out a way to step out without tripping or falling face first. If you were luck to install the latter correctly, then you will not plummet to your death. Extra steps must be taken when raining to insure that you don't step on the seat and have a wet ass for the rest of the day. A preflight briefing for the FO is in order on a day with precipitation as well.

My favorite part of not flying the 99 anymore is that my seat is always dry. It's even better than the raise.

I put my left leg out the door while still sitting in the seat. :) Then I sort of just stand up, straddling the side of the plane, swing the other leg out and scurry down the ladder. It's pretty graceful! :D
