Airhead Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Summer tour season is coming to a close and I was wondering what everyone does during the fall and winter if they don't stay with their company for off-season work. The thought of going back to CFI work isn't very appealing nor do I expect a lot of schools to be looking to hire someone who is clearly only going to be there until April. I am ready to pay for 22 time to keep from getting rusty if it comes down to it. Is not flying for several months a huge factor when it comes to getting hired again in the spring? Any stories of pilots finding a first turbine job after such down time? Any stories of pilots hitting a roadblock because of this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Bird Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 What about using this time period to make a change to the GOM or EMS? Or are you still keen for tours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotormandan Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 If you're still planning on doing tours next year, enjoy the winter off. A few months off won't create much rust. You should have no problem getting hired on next tour season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airhead Posted September 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I am definitely looking to go back to tours since I don't meet minimums for EMS and probably not the GOM. The GOM doesn't really interest me either if it were a toss up between flying tours in a better location. Not that I can be picky. I'm just at 1000 pic now and hoping to get into turbines next year.
