So Polar, if wizardry and voodoo make the 744 go, what runs the E-170, magic and leprechans?

Pretty much...that's my best guess. The 145 too...

IMHO, you're a RAH guy, not an S5 guy.....that scope was hard won...

I've been on this sight since 1998? 9?
A few days ago, I just took a very serious stumble in my fledgling 121 career, I gotta say this was the most enlightening thread I've seen in a long time and it shone a real positive light on everything that's been going on lately.
Thanks.
Gotta run and see if I can jumpseat back home!

Really? Because I've found it somewhat alarming. I'm one of only (I think) two people who have stepped from significantly larger airplanes to significantly smaller ones.

Not that size matters... I mean there are a number of other factors. Salary, work-rules, days off, vacation, etc...

But on the surface it's hard not to view ones self as a failure. I guess as pilots we're just programmed to think that bigger is better... and even those of us who are living it, have trouble shaking that perception.

Learned to fly in this one:

Then moved into the Beech 1900

This particular one

Then moved into the sled when I got back from hawaii:
Cessna 207 (not this one)

This is the one I fly every day at work right now

Its funny to me that I make more money flying a single engine cessna then what I make flying in the right seat of the 1900. Just a strange thing I noticed.

Neatest thread ever! I want to see T-carts progression.

 

[ZapBrannigan]

Who is T-cart?

Who is T-cart?

Very friendly guy here at JC - he commented on CTAB's pictures here. He was an ag pilot.

Just guessing here, but I bet if you took a long hard, several thousand flight hours look at the cockpit of the Air Tractor I posted, you probably just about sum up his career...so far...

 

[Champcar]

Desks are a hell lot cheaper.

Ew, commuting from ORD to ANC?

EDIT: BTW, you jacked one of those airliners.net pictures from somebody on this forum

 

[Buzo]

The ORD to ANC commute is pretty easy. I ride on our freighter. We also have 3,4, and 5 day ORD trips.

Well CTAB, I am kind of a hard-core taildragger geek - wanted to see the variation - Thrushes, Ag-Cats, Air Tractors...

Probably not much variation at all between them though. Must have been doing something right to be here after several thousand hours of low-level flight!

 

[Cheechako]

It all started here:

I won't post the 172, Cherokee, Citabria, Baron that I did my other training and CFI-ing in.
First real passenger-carrying job was in Alaska in the Sled (207) Feb 1996-Oct 1997:

Then on to K &K Aircraft (Dynamic Aviation) in the Turbine Beech 18 and King Air 90. May 1997-Aug 1999 dropped millions upon millions of sterile fruit flies over Los Angeles and San Diego:

On to Skywest, Aug 1999-Aug 2001 in the EMB-120:

Sept 2001 - Sept 2006 the venerable CRJ200/700:

Alaska Airlines 737-400/700/800/900. Oct 2006 - Present:
