......on the bus ride home from my part-time $8.00/hr cooking job today.
He is an AP and has been working for Flight Express for 17 years.
I noticed his work shirt and struck up a conversation and want to relay it along.
(I did a search for Flight Express on the forum and did not see this info, my apologies is this is old news)
First, on the work front--according to Robert--they just had a new bunch of pilots come in--he says they either have a whole bunch applying/arriving at once or nothing and they just had a new crop of pilots come in.
Second. Flight Express has been bought out by the parent company of that other cargo hauler (the name escapes me right now) and they have merged their routes the orginal owner of Flight Express having cashed out.
We talked about the 210--he called it a truck --and did you know it hauls about 300 lbs more than a baron? Also, they are the largest owners of 210's in Florida.
Third, he mentioned that a bunch of pilots have been turning down a 10 to 13 hour duty shift out of TPA. Could be work right there. Since its not an "actual job" per DT's sticky post, I did not post this thread there.
Fourth, it was great to talk shop with a real-live person. I haven't flown in a year and I miss it so.
Hope it helps.
