RagMan Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 I'm just looking to branch out on my days off and network with any of the surrounding helicopter companies around the Orlando or Melbourne areas. Not necessarily the small tour operators, but any of the ENG outfits or otherwise. The rotary wing atmosphere is EXTREMELY small time out here around the Kennedy Space Center surrounding area (except for Bristow.) Wouldn't mind popping in and sneaking a peak at some machines and making talk about flying. Do any of you Florida men or women have connections out here? Thanks in advance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Pig Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 I looked around the FL market when I got here.... and what I came up with was not much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagMan Posted January 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) That's about where I have got to, Pig :/ It a little lonely out here on the beach! Edited January 3, 2015 by RagMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Pig Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 I was just looking for some part time stuff to keep entertained. I like going different places and doing stuff like most pilots. Figured if have something to offer someone here. Plenty of people willing to take your money in exchange for flying here though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagMan Posted January 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) I'm curious how much time it'd take to get into one of the ENG jobs out there. Pig, have you looked into the ENG jobs out here at all? Edited January 20, 2015 by RagMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Pig Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 There aren't any unless you want to fly a 44. I'm not interested in anything in a 44. I think there may be something in Miami on a 206 or something but that's a few hrs away. There is an eng 44 in Tampa but I think it's contracted through a flight school op.

helonorth Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 There is a 407 in Orlando and a 206B or L I see sitting on the ramp in Tampa. I would say 1,500 to 2,000 and some time in type at the minimum. It's not a very desirable job for many as you really have very little actual time off. Pay is in the low 60's so a very low daily rate. You are home every night, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
