Reemployed

[scottyboy75]

So I got a call the other day asking if I was looking for a job. I of course said yes then went to Belize for the interview. Turns out I got a tentative offer and am working out the final details now. The bad part is they want me to become fixed wing rated as well and they are going to pay for it. Bummer now I have to learn what all the paint on the ground at airports is really for.

Don't do it, man. You'll never look at airplane pilots the same way again once you really experience how little there is to it compared with flying a helicopter.



Kidding, and congrats!

If helicopters were meant to fly they'd have been born with wings (rotating kind do not count).

Atta be Shane,

you doing your fixed wing local or down south?

 

[scottyboy75]

I will be doing it down south. I am training their airplane pilot in helicopter and he is training me in airplanes and construction management. Flying will be less than 1/3 of the work.

I must have missed something.

You moved to India only to be laid off, and now you're going to Belize?

 

[scottyboy75]

Pretty much.

I am training their airplane pilot in helicopter and he is training me in airplanes...

And then you'll both be whipsawed against each other in an effort to force your wages lower.
