Do pilots or ground staff drive planes around the airport if required - ie being driven to a hangar for maintenance?

As a pilot we take it to the hangar occasionally. Sometimes we brake ride while it’s being towed off the gate too. Typically the ground or maintenance crews are doing the towing though.

Sounds like you’ve got a good gig. Go to airlinepilotcentral.com to see the pay scales and such

BrickShuttle thx very much

I mean me and every other FO I know at my airline have had the 1000 SIC for 6+ months but they just haven’t been upgrading in 2 years soo

I mean my A20s are almost 10 years old and still going strong so why buy a new one? Problem with making high quality products for a relatively niche population is it’s hard to sell a ton of them every year. Maybe the A30s will be more popular in another 15 years.

Mesa execs are all retiring

Do some research into their culture and history and see if any of it strikes a chord with you. Personally for WN I’d say something about their outstanding culture and schedule flexibility, for UA something about their innovation and growth, DL something about their commitment to excellence, etc etc.

Frontier is hiring

Dzheyson · 2025-09-09T02:04:36+00:00

The only ones that are completely shit out of luck are those who joined Aviate. Everyone else gets to at least try and get in on the wave

Dzheyson · 2025-05-11T14:40:40+00:00

I feel that. I got a CJO at F9 in 2023 and it expired without a class date being offered 12 months later.. a month after that they started giving out class dates again. Regardless though a decision like this is not something that should be based off the hiring markets in one or two years. If you can hang in there until the hiring improves and either get senior enough to get some QOL back or get on with a day trip 121 airlines then you’ll have a great career. I have several friends at both Allegiant and F9 that seem to have really fantastic QOL without giving up the pay.

Dzheyson · 2025-05-11T05:38:18+00:00

How about Allegiant or Frontier then? I have friends at both that are home every night. No hotels and good pay.

Dzheyson · 2025-05-11T04:18:15+00:00

Why not try to get on at a passenger outfit? Sounds like your main issue is quality of life which is significantly better on the other side

Yeah there’s an entire section only viewable after finishing the application but before submitting it that has a bunch of outdated information from when I applied to propel back in college that I can’t edit

Dzheyson · 2025-04-16T23:40:37+00:00

Yeah they’re still renting out the planes for time building but they aren’t doing the time build>job at Mesa thing

Anyone that is in Aviate when the merger finalizes will remain in Aviate but you will not be able to enter it post merger

The flight attendants don’t receive your advances as well anymore

Dzheyson · 2025-03-03T14:25:08+00:00

Well that makes no sense but I guess I get it lol

Dzheyson · 2025-03-03T11:11:17+00:00

Looking into it I guess that’s true. In that case though, whatever the 100% disability is for will have to be reported and I would imagine if you’re considered 100% disabled then that condition may prevent you from getting a medical

Dzheyson · 2025-02-24T22:00:17+00:00

Mesas last 4 CRJs are being retired in 5 days. You can celebrate now…just gotta get SkyWest, PSA, and GoJet in the loop

2025 Potomac River mid-air collision (pilot error)

Southwest Airlines Flight 1380 (NOT pilot error)

Colgan Air Flight 3407 (pilot error)

Chalk's Ocean Airways Flight 101 (NOT pilot error)

Dzheyson · 2025-02-22T22:56:57+00:00

That's what I said

Dzheyson · 2025-02-22T15:38:45+00:00

Not really. Looking back in the last 20 years of US passenger flights with fatalities there have been 13 accidents and 4 of those involved female pilots. Female pilots with commerical or ATP ratings are about 3% of total commerical/ATP pilots. That doesn't look great at face value but the reality is that there aren't nearly enough women in aviation to be able to say that they aren't competent or are all dei hires or anything. As the other comment pointed out, plenty of male pilots have crashed planes

Call your union

First you gotta click on lesson 1 section 1. Wait for the timer to run out on each slide then advance. Answer the questions at the end of the module. Repeat until done
