Under 21...?

[Shemsey]

what is an a.s. degree? Not familiar with it being in Canada! and how do you get it done by age 18? We don't enter uni until 18 in Canada. That's awesome though man, your hard work will pay off, and it looks like it already did.

well its all going pretty well right now, just got to have a schedule and keep to it, i think i would like amflight, just not the midnight hours of flying but i cant complain or be picky so ill take what ever i can get

Het, first of all Good Job. But let me tell you something, I interviewed for Amerifligth as a ramp agent and later did not accept the position because their operation was mostly at nights so you'll have a lot of night flying at Ameriflight.

What's the rush? Just enjoy college life and flying professionally will come eventually. CFI'ing part time or doing freight part time sounds good for now. I know i'm not in any rush to graduate, but that's just me.

Yeah, well, that's his side of the story. There's a lot of prima donnas that can't hack it. You're telling me that dispatch doesn't try to screw you regional pilots??? Please... That dispatch's job, no matter what type of flying!

ACC is, as far as I know, a pretty good company to be at.

I would walk away from flying in an instant before I went to any regional, so it goes both ways.

AMEN brotha!!!! As far as:

I'd say that there are pilots that are too cautious to be flying 135 with no radar, ap, etc... - However, our dispatch never complains when we want more fuel because it's $0.10 cheaper at the destination, never pressures us to fly through any weather we don't want to, and never calls us repeatedly during our rest period to let us know we were flying to an airport we already knew about, unlike what I was told about Air Cargo Carriers. Besides, dispatch doesn't screw us. Scheduling tries to, but it's not intentional.

Our dispatch doesn't even care where we fill up at...it's up to us. Never get pressured to fly in any weather...they know me and I know them. I see them at least once a week...they know that I know what I'm doing. How about you? When's the last time you met your dispatchers? Our dispatch is forbidden from calling for 10 hours after we check out (usually they tell me to call them after 10 hours to find out the plan), if we don't know what's going on the next day (our reserves are the only ones that don't always know where they are going...set schedule for set runs) And, don't try the semantics thing...dispatch/scheduling, whatever you want to call it. It's the company trying to do business and will always have the company in mind before how we want it. Oh yeah, can ya'll do the reduced rest? We must have 10 hours...the only time we get screwed is during standby over a 24 hour time...there's nothing in stone, but there are new 135 rest changes coming soon to address this.
