Today I was awarded a first officer position on the Embraer 140/145, based in Dallas-Forth Worth. Time to finally see some places more interesting than Lawton, OK? Sometime early next year I’ll start training, which will last about 2 months. Things are looking good these days, with lots of people supposed to leave for other airlines, pilots retiring at 65 years old, and more airplanes on the way. Hoping for about a year or two more until I can hold a captain position.

| Work has been pretty slow since the holidays. It’s warmed up a little lately and since the airport stopped playing Christmas music, I can actually stand being there again. It’s now my third year with American Eagle, and time is literally flying by. A yearly checkride is coming up in the middle of February. Otherwise I am very much on cruise control. I still like what I’m doing, and it definitely beats having a real job. Coming up in the next year will be the jet/prop question: Keep flying the prop for better schedules or switch to the jet for better pay? Don’t quite know the answer to that one yet. It depends how fast we grow this year, I guess. |
