I had been flying First Officer on a 727~ I also had Flight Engineer time, too. But... The woman at AWA told me to rent a Cessna 152 and fly around the pattern for 100 hours. So...yes, all about the hours here. <br /><br />Congratulations on your 737 position!!! Way to go. You are living the dream.Karlene Petitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17910702587514001827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-38362339977524905862012-02-21T11:00:20.738-08:002012-02-21T11:00:20.738-08:00Okay... yes, definitely a decent haircut...and no ...Okay... yes, definitely a decent haircut...and no hat.

Also, the "Attitude" I forgot to write about that essential key. Time to edit the post. :) <br />You will get your job! You do have the best attitude. Keep me posted on your hour building. When my book is a movie, I might need a co-pilot for my jet. :)Karlene Petitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17910702587514001827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-64551569964576945662012-02-21T07:00:11.534-08:002012-02-21T07:00:11.534-08:00All good thoughts and tips Karlene!
As it happens,...All good thoughts and tips Karlene!<br />As it happens, I am one of those low-time pilots, I am one of those looking for a flying job pilots (or at least anything that can lead to one).<br /><br />Not much of a pilot shortage right now (although as we previously discussed, there should be, to better our industry)...but there is movement.<br /><br />Movement at the top means movement at the bottom. It's up to us to fill up from down under.<br /><br />In much of Canada, below the airlines, a lot of people go through ramp programs where they work the ramp for a while and then get offered a right seat on a Navajo, King Air, Cheyenne, and so on. For the Canadian readers, AVCANADA.CA is a good forum site to learn and ask questions to old time pilots and even chief pilots/ops managers. Some go on the infamous road trip across the country and knock on doors beginning of the season and ask for that first gig too. Perseverance and a good attitude goes a long way.<br /><br />The best part about up north/rural flying is that a lot of the places north of 60 don't have much road access still, believe it or not, so a lot of things and people have to be flown in. That's where a lot of operators find their businesses. <br /><br />Great post!Ramielhttp://innercortex.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-72576797083110556172012-02-21T04:46:00.426-08:002012-02-21T04:46:00.426-08:00Excellent post Karlene.
