Introduction of self
I am a Capt (If I can so claim) on a C208 (Cessna Caravan) flying part 91. I also fly occasionally right seat on a BE20 (King Air 200) and try to log a few hours doing that when I'm allowed to take the controls.
I previously flew for Comair Airlines but was laid off due to the economy in 2008. Prior to that I also flew freight in a C208 for airborne express and Fedex as well as a Seneca for a medical transport company. I have about 7000 hours total with about 3000 multi time. 2000 turbine time and about 300 ME turbine time from the King air.
I have certification for the C208 from Pan Am flight academy and a Type rating on the CL-65 (Bombardier CRJ200). I am debating personally paying for the certification on the King air 200 to find a more stable, better paying job, if any still exist.
My current flying job is not very demanding. I make about 1 trip a week of about 350 miles each way. Sometimes it's 2. My pay suffers from such small amounts of work as well. Since getting married I had to take on a second job and It's not what I enjoy. I need to find a better aviation job soon, or I may lose my mind.
