Why no calls to interview? Is it my speeding tickets?

Does the 1900 not do move than 250?

The real speed limit that is annoying for turbo props is the 200 within D and the surface area of C or under Bravo. Way too slow that far out.

Couldn't tell you about the 1900. The Metro will do it's max of 248 down low and speeds high or descending at 2000ish fpm out of 17ish thousand.

Well for me I was thinking that recruiters and management might not look favorable on the tickets he received. Maybe that is the reason why he was not getting picked up at SKW. If you start a thread and say I have this problem (tickets in this case) could it be why I'm not getting hired and people answer with possible explanations I don't see the big deal. Its a discussion...

If the post degenerate into lets break the rules, speed limit, etc. That sure isn't constructive. Especially to any young aspiring pilots that may be reading these post.

Yeah, plenty people have offered suggestions....most of which involved the OP not getting any more violations (of any variety) for at least a few years. I think the suggestion was also made to attend job fairs to assist with translating the objectivity of a paper resume to the subjectivity of the person.

What assistance do you have to offer?




Also, even if this is a trolling opportunity for the OP, which would be super lame if true, there is still a fair amount of positive take-away in the thread.

I sent him a direct email address to a person in HR. That may allow him to be more than a name in a pile. Of course I did that quietly in a PM.
 
I recall the OP driving like an old lady. Plus he' s a 1900 pilot. They tend to operate machinery sloooowly and usually fear high speeds. :)

until you just announced it here to 15000 members....but that's cool! Glad you helped. Some helped some criticized, some criticized those who helped and criticized...another day (or four) in the inner webs.
 
Ok folks I was gonna let the cat out of the bag sooner, but I was in Park City for my Anniversary for the last few days.
This question was asked by a very good friend to me. I said why don't I run it on the JC hommies. All the info is still correct with times, ratings, tickets etc.

What I learned
First....Don't Speed!
Second...JC is a close community and some very excellent points, ideas, suggestions and action plans were proposed. And thank you to everyone for the help behind the scene. I'm glad we have a site (Doug Taylor) were we may not agree with a lot of peoples views but can contribute to help a fellow pilot out
I don't know what he is going to do but He knows he screwed up and his history is coming back to bite him.
I've personally flown with him and can say the speeding tickets and reckless pilot correlation isn't true with him. In fact I wrote a LOR for his currant job.
Maybe he will come and post on here IDK but it really doesn't matter. Aviation is a tuff business. How many professional jobs require annual medicals, clean driving records, no incidents/accidents, check rides, recurrent, long hours and days away from home and were a one thing can get you fired/laid off and start at the bottom.
Doug is right Aviation is a small world and we need to stick together and build up the profession,not tear it or each other down.

To quote a late, great, and brilliant man..."Well what'd ya buy a sweedish piece of • like that for?...."

Edit: Come to think of it the op may have taken this very skit too seriously...

"Well I get pissed god dammittttt! There's a lot of • you have to deal with when you're driving. Like red lights. When did this • start? I only noticed em about a month ago myself. Tried it, for about a week, didn't like it. **** em I'm gone."

My excuse is basically that it's cheap, fast (like, sort of surprisingly fast), and comfortable. Plus it's weird. I think we can all agree that I'm weird.

That said, "cheap" and "fast" were sort of the prime considerations. In that order. Between the bike and the trusty old rusted out 4Runner, I can do without it for the 180 days of the year it'll be broken.
