Martinaire 1900's ?

[Avalon781ML]

Efficiency wise, the metro wins easily. It's a bit faster and burns less fuel. The 1900 has to burn way more fuel to keep up with a metro! There I feel better.

Basically, the metro is all around a manlier plane than a 1900.

And it sits higher.... so you can look down on the Beech from atop your mighty steed.

The 19hunned is a girlie airplane. It should only be flown by small women and children.

LOL

but these are the only people who can fit in the sewer pipe without needing weekly chiropractor visits.

Obviously you've never stepped foot into a lear jet.

Well, I was just comparing the 1900 and the Metro, but yes, the Lear would be the in the same batch.

A certain capt from TEB seemed to manage just fine.

That auto start and pressurization will make a man outta ya.

Kinda bummed I never got to fly either. JS in a metro which was cool.

They just posted it on the orange site. It's great you guys are expanding but 32k for a 1900 PIC

Dude and I thought my 45K in the 1900 sucked.

meh...

The pay hasn't actually been decided yet, but its probably going to be whatever our metro pay rates are. Which, I actually don't know. Also, this is a little bit ghetto but you can make an extra $3600/yr if you wash the plane every 15 days ($150/wash for a Metro, $75/wash for a caravan.) It doesn't take very long (30 minutes?) if you invest in a $100 power washer (You actually don't want a very good/strong one, so the cheap ones I think work good.)

Even with the additional 3600 per year to wash your plane (which should be a mx function) that still only 35600 which is horrible for a 1900 driver.

Washing a 1900 in the winter in the North and South Dakota probably won't be any fun.

Wont happen unless done indoors... water would freeze prior to hitting the plane...

I heard a very infamous captain from sierra west airlines tell an Ex Great Lakes fo that.....

Real men join the Cawi club..... He then grab his crotch flipped the guy the finger walked out with his shoulders back and head hi. The Great lakes Fo just stood there....looking at the ground. Shuffling his feet. And said a barely audible, 'i know".

That metro captain is one of the few men I'd follow in to the gates of hell riding my skeleton horse that breathes fire.

The assistant CP who is a check airman in all three types doesn't get paid that much.

Yeah, we all know, pay at Martinaire sucks.

Yep, grew up in WI and the UP of MI. The worst part is after you pull it out of the hanger and all of the doors freeze shut

Damn, I feel like small woman! You put it into perspective for me, KLB. I shall go apply for a Metro position immediately.
