What have you done to further your career today?

[Nark]

Studied like crazy because even though we haven't touched a subject in 9 months, it's still testable.
Why did I mention it? Because not graduating will cement my career at a regional.

What is this test that will cement a regional career?

 

[etflies]

Applied to Hawaiian, fingers crossed. I also may have found an avenue to an instructor position at another regional carrier, but it would mean starting over. Again.

It's more like 18 months of academic and practical tests.

 

[ClarkGriswold]

Applied to Hawaiian as well.

727 FO has to be one of the best jobs in aviation.

You fly. Sometimes you read a checklist. Sometimes you set the Captain's heading and course bugs. The FE does the walkarounds, the performance, the plumbing, and so on.

Updated my stuff with AA/DL/UA.

Brought homemade cupcakes for the flight to Bedford, MA.
Mr. & Mrs. (Company Owner) loved them.

Flew for the first time from the right seat. Such a long ways from your seat to the instruments that are usually directly in front of you. The gusting winds helped the difficulty.

 

[Cessnaflyer]

Applied to Hawaiian like everyone else.

 

[Cptnchia]

Sounds like I need to apply to Hawaiian as well.




Or just wait for the SLI! :stir:

Barely read the first sentence of this thread, didn't read anything in between but I can tell you I did the opposite of further my career. Unless spending the day at the bar counts as furthering ones career.

 

[Bonanzaman]

I got a new job in the last week. It's exactly where I hoped to be in a couple years but it happened four months after I got my first flying job. I'd like to say its because I'm awesome and I've been taking every job I could on my days off and I worked hard and was happy to do it and never complain, but I've been extremely lucky with meeting the right people and making a good enough impression that they vouched for me.

 

[AAPalmTree]

Spent the first 9.5 hours of today in the air. Spent the next 6 dead to the world on the couch.

Depends. Is the bar near an airport where you can network with other pilots? If yes, I'd say that was useful use of your time.

I hear stories about DC10 FO being about the same, except the legs were much, much longer.

Did you know that the DC-10 was the best aircraft ever manufactured ever?
