Why won't I get a call back?

The mins are whatever the insurance company will accept. You MUST have both C206 or 207 and C400 series time. I was hired with about 200 206 time and 400 C404 time.

ah I see. I doubt I'll ever get 400 series time at least in the near future anyway.

Good to know though! Surveying is definitely something I want to do when I get back to the US

Air America Flight Center. You have to get a little lucky and work quite a bit. At least 90 hours a month. 7 months would net you around 50k if you didn't have any stretches of sitting around not doing anything. I did 10 months with one month at over 200 hours. My average was around 130 hours a month. That was about 10k for that month. That's gross by the way, not net, and with private contractor taxes, that takes off a big chunk. Minimum pay per month, not doing anything but sitting in the hotel was 5100.

Man, I went to work for the wrong Picto contractor. I did interview with AA but wasn't hired. If I recall they were like $20 and hour with a 2.5 daily guarantee and you got the whole per diem amount, whereas who I worked for nickeled and dimed. It out via reimbursements. Being that you guys got the whole per diem amount and were left to your own devices regarding hotels, etc, I did hear some interesting stories like 6 guys in a room at the motel 6......

Desert Winds? There's landcare(however you spell it) as well. I forget the 4th one. Or maybe there's 5. I don't remember how many abbreviations were on the SUPER FUN pictometry report. :bang: They salary guys at 2000 a month IIRC, but they pay for your hotel and rental car.

I never did the 6 to a room thing. That's just nasty! haha I've only had to share a bed once because priceline screwed up. Nothing the anti-spoon device can't fix!(suitcases) :D I did the opposite. We'd get 2-3 people/room and stay in 5 star or resort hotels. You can get INSANE deals if you do the name your own price thing on priceline.

To answer the other question, AA usually starts interviewing in August and September. I will say getting in the 80k range isn't the norm. This season the cessna guys are sitting around twiddling their thumbs. There won't be any summer flying for those guys this year. 50-60k isn't unrealistic. It is a good thing to do to knock out some student loans. Not a bad thing to do for a year if you're single, and the experience trumps flight instructing by a huge margin. That experience won't help you get a job, but it will make you a better pilot.
