January 22 Im off to colombus fro Airnet training:) . My interview was back in september and now they're finally let me come down there. See you all there!
 
sweet!! Im sure I will run into you in the lunch room if im not doing anything. Whats your name?
 
Heh, I just interviewed there on Wendsday. I havent heard anything yet, how long after your interview did you hear if you were hired or not?
 
My name is Darell Brault. I had an interview in september and my times then were about 1000tt and 22 multi. It took about two to three days to know after the interview. They were calling my cell, my home phone back in michigan and emailing me all at the same time. After the interview I was pretty pumped and positive about it because I felt I had a good one but I was worried about how I did on the sim.

Im just focused (and worried) about training right now. I heard its pretty tough and I havent flown in over two months.

Try to get up into a multi for an hour or two and have a buddy kick the crap out of you. Do lots of SE stuff, partial panel, etc..

If you cant do that then maybe a simulator?

Either way don't sweat training too much, it's hard but not THAT hard, and the instructor is there to help you through it not just wash you out.

Good luck
 
Your instructors won't encourage you like you've been encouraged by the rest of your instructors. They are there to see if you can be rattled. Don't let them get to you. Study your butt off. Start reading the AIM now. Read it cover to cover. Read everything they give you and study with your other classmates. Its not a competition so be there for each other.

I got that same advice when I went through and thought it was crap. Pay attention to what they teach, read the material and you'll be fine. 95% or higher on all my tests. The other thing is work together. My class did and were the first ones in a while to actually all do 90%or better on the final so we got free beer!

Maybe you knew alot of that stuff already. I forgot alot since I last looked at it and I thought it helped alot. My test was heavily weighted with general AIM knowledge crap. Like localizer frequencies and lighting questions. All stuff I once knew but needed a refresher on.
 
I got high 90's on my final but my classmate ( only 2 of us back then) rushed through his and got below 90:mad: I made him buy me booze later that week:D
 
let us know how it goes, i have been wanting to fly for Airnet someday since i was doing my instrument training 4 years ago. do they still do ride-alongs? finally building some dual instruction time now and hope to be applying there by august
 
Dunno about the ride alongs, the TSA just hunkered down on our rider policy and made it so that even our spouses can't ride on the system anymore.. so I doubt it.
 
I wish I would have gone with AirNet instead of the 135 outfit I flew for. I've fueled the heck out of some AirNet lears, barons, navajos and caravans. Always wanted to fly for them but went with someone else because of location. Most of the pilots I have met at AirNet are pretty nice guys. Some have been there a long time. Really good company to fly for.

How many years ago was this? What kind of airplane? The STP route doesn't go to MKE any more...for the most part STP-MDW-DSM-STP now (weekends excluded). Don't ask how I know, I just know. :) Was it 607 back then?

I am pretty sure we no longer give the rides, since, as stated above, our spouses can't even go along with us now...my guess is your ride was prior to 9/11.

Oh, and Dbrault, congrats on the class date. I haven't been through LCK in a while (other than weekends when nobody's around), but some of the other guys can give you an idea on how long people have been waiting for routes.

Well, that's interesting...I wonder if he/she just stowed you away, or if this was a sanctioned thing after 9/11??

Are you in GFK now, or are you going to be in town during our M&G on Monday??? See the Meet and Greet forums if you're interested...heck, a few of you UND people should turn it into a $100 burger type flight and meet up with some people.
