New job new ride!

Post by Qballll »

Watch out I'm flying this starting Sunday. Got recalled to Republic airlines, they bought Midwest airlines that I was flying for and furloughed back in 2008.

Congrats on the new job! I myself start a new job Tommorow after being laid off for 10 months due to lack of work in the commercial building industry. Finally picking up here in the northeast :) . No more nights of being on here at 3am :(

I had been flying for a small medical air ambulance co. But yes, they sent me to a two month course in St. Louis + 40 hours of sim time. About $40,000 for training in this aircraft.
