Hmm... They all pretty much suck. It's 135 freight. I don't know of any that are great, but I don't know many either.

Pay is ~20k with per diem, work ~20days/month, home every night, and you have to assist the loading in the mornings. Most of the pilots are really good guys. HTH

What is the training like? I always hear people talking about 121 training. Haven't heard much about 135. Also, can you upgrade pretty much as soon as you meet the 135 mins? Do they have pilot bases other than miami? How much time can one expect to fly in a month/year?

Thanks in advance,

sounds good. so all the training is done in the actual airplane then? There are no sims or paper tigers? That could actually be better in my opinion. The sims I've flown have always been harder to fly than the actual airplane. Miami doesn't sound too bad either after spending three years in North Dakota.

Trying to avoid CFI and start a job where I can get some twin turbine time. Right now with all the competition seems like looging Cessna time is a big waste. Anybody who knows about FO position at IBC please email me with info on what I should/can do to get a interview call if you don't mind. [email protected] Any help will be a big favour. I'm a non citizen. I have an US work permit for a year starting February so I need a job fast.
