As I understand if one flies freight you are either hub based or outstation based. Downside of being hub based you spend all day away from home. Sounds kinda boring. If I want to have some fun got to find ways to stay busy. I would like to bring my gun along and go to a local shooting range but there is a 135 reg that says no weapons allowed. So.....what if I disassemble it and take components on 2 different flights. Is that legal? I think it would as its not a weapon anymore. Just metal parts.

So I just had my phone interview. I was nervous because this is a job I really want. I think it showed. Hopefully it doesnt negatively effect me. They said my ME time of 184 is higher than average so hopefully that helps me out.

I had an interview a week ago... It went well and jived with the gouges posted on here. My times are roughly 1160TT, 750 ME, 700 ME turbine, 550 PIC, 130 turbine PIC, 120 instrument -and the one that's killing me: 400XC (including point-to-point). I'll hit 1200 in no time but my flying consists of military para-jump/para-drop so not a lot of XC opportunities other than flying to the airport/AFB at the beginning and end of the contract. I received an email a few days ago asking when I think I'd hit Capt minimums, which I replied, but there's really no specific time frame since my XC time is creeping along. Haven't heard anything since.
Any ideas? Anybody else have to wait a week or two for an answer or training date? I'm still hoping to be in the July class...

480 TT and was a previous CFI. Will be able to hit 500 by around July 10th cause I have a few flights planned out. They said I need to hit 500 to qualify to get hired. I have 184 ME though. Mostly with ATP flight school and renting the DA42.
