skill and experience of pilots compared to passenger airlines
You think FedEx and UPS pilots aren't as skilled and experienced as United and Delta pilots?
You're talking out of your arse.

I’m looking at Kalitta and Omni. Maybe Western Global but I haven’t been able to find much info on them. But I’m looking at ACMI as a career. I think Atlas would work as a good stepping stone before you went to one of the big boys.
I just got my 1st class medical and I'm getting back into flying. Probably gonna go the regional route to get some turbine PIC.

I've been out of flying for about 18 years, but I've got about 5000 hrs TT and about 1500 hrs as a 727 FO. I've gotta get some jet PIC though.
And I'm 50.

Glad to see your name, 777Tiger. No homo but sincerely glad.

Good thing his name isn’t 767Tiger

I remember him referencing some things that had me a lil' bit 50/50. Hope all you guys in the air stay safe.

That's Trump's fault. He wants UPS6G and much farther beyond too quickly.

Plenty of jobs out there right now man.
This is the best pilot job market of my lifetime thank God.

Man..... if only the NTSB and others had experience with this sort of thing.....
Posted on 2/24/19 at 12:38 am to 777Tiger
Yeah.... not like the valujet crash or the silk air crash (plus others) couldn't help.... this thread has hurt my head.

Haven't read anything so it might have been posted, could this be one of those shifted cargo type deals?
Being Amazon Air is somewhat new is the crew doing the loading more susceptible to this kind of screw up or are the planes just wrapped and the crews interchangeable with other cargo crews?
Not sure if these questions even make sense.

Amazon Air isn’t really a thing. They lease airplanes through a company called Atlas Air Cargo who provides the planes, crews and maintenance. They have been in business for a long time.
Posted on 2/24/19 at 12:51 am to fightin tigers
Shifting cargo would most likely happen on takeoff when the plane is on a steep climb.

Cool. Makes sense.

Ah, didn't know how far from takeoff they were.
