Don't get me started on Ag pilots.I kinda think that was a compliment!
Low flying, money making, toxic spraying, ozone depleting, blue collar, hard working, tree and power line dodging, GPS using, toilet paper dropping, stick and ruddering... and helping out farmers across the nation, putting food on my table at low prices.:clap:
I don't know how you sleep at night sir.

I wouldn't say I'm looking forward to bush or ag flying someday, but I'm definately weighing my options to becoming something more GA involved like ZAPBRANNIGAN.

Jynxy, I hope we get a M&G going in Memphis one of these days. Be a pleasure to meet you Memphians.

Hey, to any JC member in MEM area... even Steve you creature cuddler, there is always cold beer in the fridge.
Proof!
I'm a little low on the beer right now, but there is always a little Mill Lite in there. Bud light is for the GF, please don't touch. If there's steaks in the fridge there is always a BBQ possible. Salsa and chips optional.

Pat,
It's not that I disagree, but it's that you're so vague in your half-sentence statements that I don't know whether you're attacking a specific pilot or if you're trying to provide some amount of quantative input to a thread.
That's all. A little bit more information would go a long way.

I'm glad he's here. Sounds like someone that knows what he's talking about. We could use more of that around here.

I agree with you in this thread, but comments like this make it sound like "he agrees with me, so he should stick around. Everybody else doesn't know a damn thing."

Re: Amerijet On Strike!
I was simply referring to the unbelievable lack of experienced air line pilots around here. We need more of them, regardless of whether they agree with me or not.

He was specifically invited to be here.. by a JC member.
Me.
He's been there and back many a time, and had a good deal of informative things to say about it.

Re: Amerijet On Strike!
I haven't read the whole thread so I don't know if someone mentioned this but at PenAir you could pretty much bank on 1K per year and if you really wanted to work we had guys timing out @ 1,400. Some Captains did this on a regular basis.

Re: Amerijet On Strike!
Thanks, note d explained how I arrived at the PenAir figure.
d. $1100 per month with $11 an hour per flight hour. Assumed 50 hours of flight pay per month for 550 per month, and 6600 per year on top of the base 13200 annual salary.
And that's only at 50 hours a month, so 600 annually.
If guys are flying 1000 a year, then they're going to be well above the federally recognized AK poverty level.
Might want to send a message to the guys over at APC, to update their PenAir stuff with an average annual flight hour of 1,000.
