Gonna fly me some freight...

[gomntwins]

It's definitely been a good day! Got the call after my last flight today that I got the job for flying some freight out of South Dakota. I went to the interview on Friday and got the call today (tuesday)... definitely a good day! I start class on April 10th... I do my training in a Cessna 402, but my route's gonna have me flying a Cessna 404. The company has some Metro's, and it sounds like upgrade time's about a year. Turbine PIC in the future's always nice! Definitely a good day!

Nice!! Congrats!!

What company is it?

 

[gomntwins]

The company name is Business Aviation Courier... I'm really looking forward to it! It seems like a really good company with a good safety record. Also, living in South Dakota I should be able to watch the Minnesota Twins and Vikings games! Go Minnesota Twins!

Congratulations!!! it's great hearing about all the move ups lately!!

the one nice thing about freight - cargo doesn't complain!

 

[Flyingbug]

congrats..Gomntwins...what is your TT?

 

[EatSleepFly]

OK, I'm too lazy to look it up... What is the difference between a 402 and a 404? Engine, I'm guessing?

 

[DE727UPS]

The 404 is basically a non-pressurized 421, with the geared 375hp engine. The 402 is a little smaller and has a 300 hp engine.

Little known fact is Scenic Airlines in the canyon used to fly 404's.

 

[EatSleepFly]

Thanks! That makes sense since the 406 is a non-pressurized, turbine 421 (or turbine 404 then, whichever you prefer).

Geared engines... they must be fun.
