Sounds like a great gig. One of the positives I've noticed in the industry right now is those contract pilot companies are slowly dropping their mins. 3000TT is pretty high but I've seen a few others in Vietnam and China that only want 1500TT and just a type...
 
Can I lament about how I don't have 500 TPIC in a turboprop. It's all in a jet? Sorta backwards from the CL-604 Moscow job. :) Makes sense, though.

Poor you. :D

You could be like me...1000 hours of passenger-carrying scheduled air carrier PIC...none of it turbine. :o
 
I just wish they would accept those of us who have Dash 8 types and have time in the exact airplane they have a need to fill...

I think it would save on training cost for them...but what do I know, I'm just a dumb old pilot from Georgia who don't know nothin' bout that "money stuff" them bosses deal with...
 
Why wouldn't it? It requires two crewmembers for passenger ops, and you need a type to fly it, yeah? Did I miss something?

I was thinking it was for turboprops that require 2 person types. My SA227 type is single pilot ops which counts for both but I thought wouldn't count for their requirements.

Yeah, I mean I see your point, but if I were in your shoes I'd make the argument that it's a "2 man airplane" being flown by one man because it's freight and who cares. Be creative! ;)
 
Wish the Metro III counted as a 2 man TP.

The metro is a 2 man airplane, but my skillz are so exceptional that I can fly it without a FO. Thats my story and I'm sticking to it.:D

Plus I was trained to fly it single pilot or two crew.
 
For the Metro guys, www.crewresourcesworldwide.com is another flight crew broker advertising for Q400 guys in Japan, I'm guessing it's the same contract and they're using multiple headhunters. On their ad, however, it says it must be a two crew airplane according to the TCDS. Don't know what the Metro's TCDS says, but at least now you have a definitive answer.

No its not. I preach this all the time. Lower mins means lowers pay. Instead of dropping requirements, they should offer better pay/bennies. Its not like there isn't enough Q drivers out there, there just isn't enough willing to do it at that compensation package.

Where I guess that does it.

It says minimum crew is one pilot in here in multiple places.

I believe the 1900 is that same.

Where have you seen 1500tt with just a type? I've never seen that.
