WANTED: Contract Commercial Pilot -

[Matt Barrow]

WANTED: Contract Commercial Pilot - Availability: IMMEDIATE



I have recently undergone surgery that will preclude me from flying for
approximately four (4) months. I need a contract pilot that can handle the
flying chores for my business (RE Development) until I regain my medical.



Must be willing to temporarily relocate to Montrose, CO during this
contract. A furnished two bedroom apartment, with broadband internet access
will be provided here in Montrose. Also, $30 a day per-deim will be provided
for the duration of the contract.



GENERAL BACKGROUND:



Commercial license with Instrument rating, with 3000 hours including 500
hours Beech Bonanza time required. A background in Civil Engineering
(residential and small commercial) is a plus.



Mountain Flying experience is a must (we're at 5600 feet and surrounded by
12-14000 foot mountain ranges).



EQUIPMENT:



Exceptionally well maintained and hangered 1991 Beech B36-TC with TNIO-550
engine.



Applicant must be familiar with LOP operations (such as taught by Advanced
Pilot Seminars, but good grasp of such operations is critical).



· King KNS94 IFR certified GPS

· King KFC-200 AP/FD w/coupled HSI

· Avidyne 500 Moving Map with Full Jepp Chart, Flight Deck and Jepp
View

· JPI 700 Digital Fuel Flow

· 78cf Oxygen system with MHOxy flow regulators

· WX1000 Storm Scope

· Bose headsets (4)

· PS Engr. 7100 CD Audio (please.no rap music)



TYPICAL MISSION AND NOTES:



Applicant can expect to fly 30-35 hours per month and twice each week,
occasionally three times. A 5-10 hour checkout/familiarization will be
provided. A week long gap in flying can be expected in late May and another
in late June. This will be considered paid vacation time for the applicant.



Pilot must be available from 5:00 AM until 5:00PM when not flying. Our
operations typically entail a 6:00 AM start (sunrise) and flight range from
325NM up to 630NM (cruise speed 180-185kts.) Twelve hours notice is common,
but as little as one hour is sometimes necessary.



Most missions entail a return to Montrose in the late afternoon or evening,
but about 1/3 of our missions will require a RON upon which all expenses
will be provided.



We never overload our aircraft and typical loads are three passengers, and
never more than four. Largest passenger is 6'4" and 225 lbs. None of our
passengers are shy about flying but some a scared witless of hard
turbulence.



Comfort and safety are paramount. Applicant must be well versed in these
flight factors.



Must be able to pass zero tolerance drug testing and background checks..



Please send resumes and at least four references to
before Saturday, April 15th. Selected applicant must be ready to fly by

This isn't the right place to post a job listing! What ****es me off
more is that you were told not to! To top everything off, you
cross-posted to two newsgroups. How about you post an ad in the local
newspaper or on an aviation website where you can post job listings.

It was nice of you to post your ad. Enjoyed reading.
I would be interested but a little shy in the Bonanza catagory.
Besides, it would be hard to leave the setup I have here in Kansa.

I have reasons.

Why don't you mind your own business and grow up.

Yes, I can understand that...and this is only for four months at

Most pilots are delighted to learn of a job opportunity; no matter where they
hear of it. When I was flying professionally, the newspaper was the least
likely place to find a position. Of course, back then, the internet didn't
exist in the same way as it does today.

So he posted it here. So what? I would rather see a posting where somebody was
looking to hire a pilot than where somebody was trying to sell us something.

Who told him not to post it here? You? Who are you?

If he had posted this in rec.aviation.marketplace or wherever it was suggested,
I'd never have seen it. Didn't know that group existed. So I got to read it
here though I didn't have to if I didn't want to; after all the subject line
told all. No false advertising.... And I enjoyed reading the well crafted
post.

I don't think it's my property, but I respect the readers of the group
by not posting something that is of interest to only select individuals.
Is everyone here looking for a job? I seriously doubt it, but I might be
wrong. I seriously think you would get better results if you posted this
job listing on a professional website where people *ARE* in fact looking
for a job. At the same time, you wouldn't be polluting the newsgroup.

How about you get educated and learn something about marketing. Your
message to me was SPAM.

And to all the readers that object to my post, I apologize, but a
message like this only invites more that are similar. I personally think
this group is better not commercialized.

I have no patience for people that don't follow directions *OR* the best
interest of the majority of the audience. Plain and simple.

Do you really believe that you have your finger on the pulse of the
interest of the majority of the audience?

Matt is a regular contributor to this group, not a post-and-run spammer.
As a turbo-normalized Bonanza pilot who does not read r.a.m, I enjoyed
reading his ad. In a way, the ad served as a barometer of sorts as to what
type of experience is required to fly in that capacity.

Since I do not have a commercial certificate (yet), mountain flying
experience, nor 3,000 hours, I learned that I don't have shot at
applying. :)

--
Peter

[Mike]

I owe an apology to the group for posting a response like that. It
should have been more constructive and professional, but I think it
might have been inappropriate to assume it would not be of interest to
everyone. Any two newsgroups may have different views on this topic, and
I think I mistakenly assumed this group would view stuff like this as
inappropriate.

Matt, it was nice to read your job posting because it was personable,
and I think that's what matters. If it were just a one liner, then I
would probably view it differently.

I should have suggested, rather than importuned, that your posting may
benefit by presenting it to a larger audience where someone may be
looking for a job just like this.

Sorry.

Peter, I reckon that my assumption was false that this group wouldn't be
interested in reading about this. I just sent an apology to the group.

You need to hole up in a cave until you're past puberty.

[PLONK]

[Marco Leon]

I was also really interested in his ad from a pure pilot's perspective. It
also allows a little look into the actual flying that Matt does (did/will
do) on a daily basis.

I'm sure most people in this group have daydreamed about flying as part of
their job.

If you really did plonk him, you most likely missed his apology to you.

Accepted.

And it appears that those who post here are only a rather small
majority...many of whom are pros and I'd be more than happy to land one of
them rather than someone "annoymous".

As I said, I intended to send it only to RAM, but now it seems it was a good
thing I didn't.

so much for the land of the free!

[Ross Richardson]

If you really look back a many of the topics and threads in this group,
many are off topic. At least this one was about an airplane. I didn't
catch the one about the drain pipe, but there is a usenet for home
repairs that I look at from time to time. Strange, they do not talk
about airplanes, though.

Thanks for this post Mike. Makes the group a better place.

Bad argument. Is every post of interest to every reader?

I thought not....

Glad you enjoyed it Bob, and I hope I can still even operate a wheelchair
when I'm 78.

The big restrictions are based on what my insurance will cover without a
boost in the premiums. That and the fact that my most common passenger is my
financial manager/selling agent/office manager who also happens to be my
wife (it was her idea of using an airplane to expand our business operations
area and it's paid off beautifully...how many guys get to marry a gal like
that??).

Would a smaller version of a rock star bus work for a couple of months?
Naps, shower, conduct phone busines enroute, no hotel rooms to rent. Sleep
on the bus on the return trip.

With some coordination (+ the occasional airline flight) could you have
covered 75% of your trips last year - with a rented tour bus/business RV
....or two?

Just a get-by-for-now thought.

....sometimes flying out, meeting the bus, going the rest of the way by
"Luxury Coach" then maybe later getting dropped off at an airport and having
bus # 2 meet you at your next destination...

I was thinking two bus drivers were cheaper to hire than one contract
commercial pilot. Maybe not.

BTW, did I miss yet another RAP surgery post? :-)

All going well?

I spent less than 20 nights away from my own bed. And five of those were due
to our staying with friedns/relaives who lived near our building sites.

I spent the first five years of my career as a "Road Warrior" and gladly
gave that up.

I spend a lot of time on the phone/computer during my work day, but when
they can get a STAR printer (does 48" wide printing..blue prints and the
like) on a bus...

Not with the places I do projects. I've hit Rapid City, Manhattan, KS and
Wichita Falls all in one day: try that on airlines and driving a bus. Slept
at home that night, too.

Where I build, there's commuter flights at best. That way I can work away
from the much heavier competition in the big cities.

When I see a potential property to develop, I'm used to going have a "look
see" within a cople days. Before I could afford to fly at will I lose a few
really nice parcels when I waited too long and drove to the sites.

Cheaper, but not better, at least not the way I operate. Also, I check
project progress and QC issues at least every two weeks...more often during
early phases. Right now, some of our projects are just getting under way.
That's why I need someone to start immediately.

>
> BTW, did I miss yet another RAP surgery post? :-)

Well, during a doctors visit at end of March for another matter (sore
shoulder) the doc noticed a bump just below and in front of my right ear. CT
scan found a tumor up against the Perotid gland. Told me it had to be
removed NOW or it could cause severe nerve damage regardless of what a
biopsy would show.

Fortunately not cancerous or malignant but the surgeon had to cut some
nerves around the ear to extract it. Big sucker...3cm in size. Now, the
cavity from the tumor keeps filling with liquid (clear, indicating no
infection) and it spreads to the area around the temple. Makes my right eye
a bit fuzzy and my ear feels like there's an ice pick stuck in the canal.
I'll find out tomorrow if flying is not verboten due to pressure in that
cavity area.

Lots of Vicodin for relief. :~)

I'll find out in a few weeks, but the initial indications are all positive.
Looks like I dodged a bullet by having the doc find it when she did.

Matt,
Best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery.
I enjoyed reading your posting for a pilot.
As others have commented, it lets us know what folks are looking for,
even if we are not qualified ourselves.
Along that line of thought, readers need to keep in mind that the pilot
community is quite small, but our networking skills are great. Perhaps
we know someone who is retired, out of work or up-and-coming who meets
the requirement and would be interested and available.
I have gotten a job this way in the past.
No good deed geos unpunished! :-))
I always try to return the favor in these instances.

young, deserving pilot that you can train to your standards and help
you use aviation to run your business.

While I have most of the requirements in spades, sadly, I have less
than 100 hours in the A36. I'm sure that is waiverable, as I teach
mountain flying for BPPP, Colorado Pilots Association, Civil Air
Patrol and have over 6,000 hours with over 2,000 hours flying the
Colorado and nearby mountains.

But, don't jump yet. I'm back full time at Hewlett-Packard, 8-5,
M-F, so I'm only available nights and weekends... and you have a
business to run.

A hearty "Thank you for posting about an avitaion topic in an
aviation news group(s)"!

Best regards,

Jer/ "Flight instruction and mountain flying are my vocations!"

Oh, I'm not going to train them...I want them "ready to heat and serve". I'm
not an instructor, but a business man that is temporarily grounded.

The requirement was "suggested" to me by my insurance company.

I'd love to have you...

....but the assignment is only going to be three months or four at the
absolute most.

I'd have to agree, if you can't post what looks to be a pretty decent
pilots job on rec.aviation.marketplace then where can you post it!?!?

Thanks, John. Things are looking up.

Was told this morning that flying is okay (the pressure I feel is in the
flesh around the ear, not the ear canal.)

The basic specs were proposed by my lawyer (used to fly a 340 until his wife
made him get rid of it) and my insurance comp and a couple others "in the
know". They are probably not what a corporate flight department would look
for, but then

Quite. There was one young instructor fellow around here I really hoped
would take the job and I offered it to him before I posted it, but his son
is seriously ill and he can't do overnights or flights out of the area.
Damn!! And his son reminds me how relatively minor my problem was: dodged a
bullet and out three months or so; he might not live to ten years old.

Always a good thing!

He actually did a very nice and sincere apology later on in the thread,

He quickly apologized for jumping the gun ...with "his" <plonk>.

So long as you haven't already crushed that small gray polyhedron into

It's sad that I recognize the references to both episodes
(though I wouldn't be able to id the specific episode numbers).

Matt - I have to agree here. Some day I hope to have a commercial
certificate and be able to do something like this. It's probably a long
way off but I found it very interesting to read about what you were
looking for.

Now...if you just wanted to be hauled around Northern California in an
Arrow...that might be another story. Oh, wait, there's that little
matter of the commercial certificate. Not to mention the fact that the
Arrow is...um...shall we say not quite airworthy at the moment. Ah, but
May is coming! :-)

Hope your recovery goes well and that you can find a pilot that fits the
bill.

Good point there Mr. Smith. It's nice to have a network of aviation
folks around the country.

Google helped.

[It's the same episode]
The crew are turned into grapefruit sized styrofoam Buckyballs ...all except
a few of ship's key personnel. The (non-human) aliens are planning to take
the ship back to the Kelvin Empire in the Andromeda Galaxy. Inhabiting human
form ("vessels") opens the Kelvins up to human frailties.

Scotty, not Kirk, saves the day.

actually, no, it's not one episode. In the original series the green stuff
was not identified. It was during a STNG episode that the captain
ids the green stuff.

Montblack, normally I would accept your council. But Mike, in both his
original post and his followups, shows a superiority and condescension
that I don't want to encounter in the future. So I press the button on
the Tantalus field, and read posts from people that don't think they
own the newsgroup.

A few years ago I would have tried to engage him. I'm too old for that
now. He can be whatever he want, and can act in any way he chooses. I
can ignore him.

And it's only Episode 50 if you count the 2 parts of "The Menagerie" as
one episode. I can't believe they used to do 30 episodes a year, now
we're lucky if a show does 22.

From some comedian's routine years ago:

Kirk: I think we can make a run for it, there, over to those ....rocks.
Spock: Not advisable Captain.
Kirk: Do you have a better plan, Spock?
Spock: Hell Jim, they turned Washington into a
small-gray-crushable-tetrahedral. He was the fastest person on the
Enterprise! I suggest we surrender.

So the first bottle of Saurian Brandy wasn't the green stuff? The second
bottle of something WAS the green stuff. The third bottle was Scotch
Whiskey.

Episode 51 is in the middle. Top 10 list on the bottom

What did TNG identify the green stuff to be????

"By Any Other Name" Season Two [Episode 51]

Kirk: Even if we could, it's out of the question. We need that projector to
bring our people back to human form.

Scott: How will we stop them?

Spock: Captain.

Tomar: It's quite good.

McCoy: I'm delighted.

Spock: Most curious.

Kirk: What is?

Spock: The isolated glimpses of things I saw when I touched Kelinda's mind
are beginning to coalesce in my consciousness. The Kelvans have superior
intellectual capacity. To achieve it, they have apparently sacrificed
anything which would tend to distract them. Perceptive senses such as taste,
touch, smell, and, of course, emotions.

Kirk: But then Tomar shouldn't be enjoying the taste of his food.

Spock: Yes. Quite correct, Captain. But they have taken human form and are
therefore having human reaction.

McCoy: Hmm. If he keeps reacting like that, he'll need a diet.

Kirk: If they all respond to stimulation of the senses, then maybe we can
distract them. They can't have been able to handle the senses yet. If we can
confuse them enough, we can get those devices from their belts.

Spock: It seems reasonable.

Kirk: All right. It may be our only chance. Look for any way to stimulate
the senses.

Scott: I can think of one way right off. Lad, you're going to need
something to wash that down with. Have you ever tried any Saurian brandy?

Tomar: Do you have more? Scott Not of this. Tomar Well, anything.

Scott: I found this on Ganymood... uh, Ganymede.

Tomar: What is it?

Scott: Well, it's, um... it's green.

Tomar: You have more?

Scott: All I have is a bottle of very, very, very old scotch. Whiskey!

Tomar: I will try it.

Scott: I'll get it! I was saving you for --

Tomar: What?

Scott: Never mind. Give us your glass.

"On at least two occasions ("Miri" & "City on the Edge of Forever") the
exterior Mayberry set from "The Andy Griffith Show" (1960) was used. In
"City," as Kirk walks Edith home, they pass by the easily recognizable
courthouse, Floyd's barbershop, Emmett's repair shop, and the grocery."

I'm sorry you feel that way, Richard. But the fact of the matter is your
can't judge someone by just a single Usenet post. Some people can
forgive, some can't, so be it.

some kind of whiskey - Aldeberan Whiskey I think is what he said.
(Relic - episode 4 of season six of STNG).
