@voretaq7 the instructor pay was terrible when I was there, but all you needed to do was buy food and pay phone/car/gas. housing was provided and if you weren't sleeping or eating, you were at the airport
yeah intensive instructing is about the only way to do it if you don't join the military.That's a LOT of avgas (especially since you want a lot of it to be multi time).
If I were going to try to make a profitable run at this aviation thing I'd be inclined to look at a corporate flight department (or a university instructing job where you might actually make enough to eat and have a roof over your head)
@casey Farmingdale State seems to treat their instructors pretty well. And I think they only lit two Cherokees on fire this year which is pretty good for them...
ATP had a great record for the number of seminoles they operated. Through 05 (haven't kept up) the only incidents involved examiners, not instructors :)
@falstro was it you who was asking the other day about two RNAV approaches to the same runway?
@voretaq7 my friend who worked as an ERJ FO at Ameican Eagle said that when she was on "ready reserve," she couldn't even buy a cup of coffee in the airport and not lose money for that hour
@rbp that is terrible. airport reserve at XJT just meant you had to be inside security in the terminal, but nothing more than that. 4 hours max, then released to rest if not used.
@falstro " The designation of two area navigation (RNAV) procedures to the same runway can occur when it is desirable to accommodate panel mounted GPS receivers and flight management systems (FMSs), both with and without vertical navigation (VNAV)."
@rbp ...that might cost more than JFK if you don't have a Chicago accent. (Also they might break your legs and throw you in the foundation pit for the new terminal)
@Farhan after I rejected it, i thought maybe I should just make the NDB edit, and then it wouldn't let me edit it. but when i went back 20 minutes ago, I could edit it again because the edit had been rejected.
@rbp Oh that. I think and edit requires to be approved/rejected by 2 our of 3. After you rejected, it had one accepted and one rejected vote/flag. Once I did the noble act of rejecting it too, then you were able to edit it, as it was not longer pending a change.
But below 1000 rep, you cannot edit a post unless you make a several characters' change. Probably that's why that person changed the quotation marks too since simply correcting NBD -> NDB wasn't letting him save the edit.
In the question How do non-US pilots get the hours necessary for an ATP?, the question was raised of whether we have 250 or 500 hour foreign pilots flying airliners into major U.S. airports. DeltaLima's answer mentioned the ICAO Multi-Crew Pilot License (MPL), which
allows a pilot to exercise...
my understanding is that as long as the countries involved are ICAO states & the registry of the ship matches the issuing country of the pilot license it's kosher
(I know we talked about this when operating N-registed aircraft in Europe came up too)
@Farhan yeah but IIRC that dealt with N-registered aircraft (my assumption is if we're talking ATP+MPL crew it's an airline operating something registered in their country of origin).
