Hi Ben.  If you haven't, you might contact Wolfe Aviation in Stockton.  They have two sleds, one is mine.

 

Verlyn is the broker, and easy to talk to. 

 

Best of luck.  My ownership experience has been fantastic.  Looking to upgrade within the Mooney family.

Ben -

 

I'm sorry you had trouble connecting.  

 

It shouldn't be a problem to arrange an inspection.  I'll forward your request.  Meanwhile, the data and images online are quite accurate.

 

Best of luck,

I didn't even get a turkey for Thanksgiving or Christmas at my job and I am pretty important. Lol

Don't worry about that--my boss let me go the week before Thanksgiving. I'm now happily working far south of snow country. :)   Just need to bum a ride back up to bring the plane down . . .

It's a form of compensation most recently available to new airline pilots. American Eagle is offering a $5000 bonus if you agree to fly for them for two years. =)

They may call it a 'bonus' but it's really an inducement, a come-on, a bribe for 2 years of mandatory, indentured servitude. But better than nothing. Good luck Parker.

I read an article last week that indicated Eagle will be out of the flying business soon... Don't do it!

Correct....a territorial ALPA union squabble. I Mentioned it to Parker last week so he knows about it.

That $5k and some jet time, based at home, probably looks very attractive until something better comes along.

Except that the airline world is still dominated by unions, and the $5k is peanuts compared to potentially losing two years of seniority in a better system.  I still wonder why that life is even remotely tempting to anyone these days.  The unions, airline management and TSA have removed all of the fun, pay, and dignity from that profession.

There's going to be some quick attrition.

It ain't any easy few years paying the dues, but a quick jump to a mainline carrier or a place like Spirit wouldn't be such a bad deal.

Spirit reserve is the best thing going...seriously.

Regardless, it's time burning some jet fuel...even if flying at Eagle evaporates, it can open a lot of doors.

...and of course my real business is paying the bills and can afford me a peanut-paying job.

We'll see where things go!

How about the 325th Fighter Wing at Tyndall AFB in Panama City, FL, doing some real flying

Parker...you'll get some fantastic precision flying experience, formation will be a breeze, and you'll find the service pays some real bonus $ if you re-up. Of course with the military being cut back to pre WW-II levels, you may have to learn Chinese or Russian. ;)
