rick1128 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 This selling ferry time has finally gotten ridiculous. Alpine Air Alaska is advertising in the employment section for someone to 'help' them out by flying with them to ferry an A-Star. It's a 20 to 25 hour trip. It will only cost you $500/hr plus food, lodging and transportation. Basically they want some poor smuck to pay all their ferry costs. Anyone that would even consider, needs to keep in mind that they would get more out of getting a Bell or American Eurocopter school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falko Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 If you really want to support/help pilots in this industry, offer ferry flights for free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clay Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 I agree. I dont have ferry flights come up very much being that I'm in the Gulf, but if I did, it'd be for free. to someone that needs it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IFLY Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Someone should offer them $50 - $100 per hour and see if they bite. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EAGLE1 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 I would be willing to help them out for $500 a day plus meals and lodging and transportation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trans Lift Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Hey Lyn, I can't believe this is actually in the jobs section. It doesn't belong there because it isn't job!! The cheek of some people! I've seen it all now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikemv Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 If an up and coming pilot needs turbine time in an AS350 and can afford the amount required for this flight, I recommend that they attend the manufacturers course in Grand Prairie which includes a turbine transition and will meet future employers requirements for Insurance!!!!!! I think AE started such a course for $10K when Silver State closed to help the pilots on the street become job market ready.

Guest pokey Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 not exactly sure how or if this relates to the topic ( but somehow i think it does) Growing up my best friend's dad had a used car lot & was teaching his son how to sell used cars. Joey and i were just learning to drive & i always took in any chance to look at the cars. SOme were real JUNK & we both watched his dad sell them..... Joey turned out to be a really great salesman in later years & i asked him how he became so successful? his reply "there's an ass for every seat" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldy Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 I agree. I dont have ferry flights come up very much being that I'm in the Gulf, but if I did, it'd be for free. to someone that needs it. Hmmm..free flight? I might even allow myself to sit in that brand new 407! TransLift has the right idea. This isn't a job, it doesnt belong in the jobs section.
