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.

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.

I enjoyed reading it and at 78 years old and only 300
hours I don't stand a prayer of landing the job.It gave
me a window into the life of a pilot that I might have been
if I didn't wait so dang long to start. :-)

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?

Plus, Matt's a regular poster here at RAP.

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

WANTED: Contract Commercial Pilot - Availability: IMMEDIATE

Thank you, Matt for posting this information. I hope you find some
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!?!?
