cmerickson21 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Does anyone have any experience with Applebee Aviaton. The turbine experience seems good. Does anyone actually get a job after they complete the apprenticeship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelFire_91 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Not trying to be a Jerk, but this has been covered in great depth before. Try searching... Here is a couple I came up with. http://helicopterforum.verticalreference.c...?showtopic=6704 http://helicopterforum.verticalreference.c...?showtopic=9831 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmerickson21 Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 I could never find the search before I just saw it at the bottom now while replying to this. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1HeliCFI Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 NEVER PAY FOR TURBINE TRANSITION! If you want to spend $20000 on flight time go lease an R22 and do 100hrs plus of cross country time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianSigler Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 I have flown with Applebee aviation for a couple years. I paid for training and was put to work, some other students did not. I got about 80 hours in the 206 and a bunch in his 269, the work is great but scarce and you really have to want it. Mike gives no hand outs and im sure he has more angry interns than happy ones, but i hounded his ass on the daily and he put me to work. The turbine time itself was not worth it I found when applying around but the commercial experience I received really put me ahead of the pack. Lets just put it out there, the job market sucks, and the training and experience I got has been my only saving grace. I;m not one to sit around and not fly, if you are like me then I recommend them.
