I’m going to risk looking silly again and ask whether or not my logbook will have any impact on my potential for employment with the airlines or corporate gigs. I’ve noticed a lot of CFI’s and Commercial pilots use the big Jeppesen Professional Pilot logbook. I just have the little basic...

Thank you, so in other words, it’s false indications? I was hoping to fly the airplane tomorrow but don’t want to burn up my engine. That said, again, I don’t see how the work performed would’ve affected engine temps, so my gut tells me it’s just bad readings from the probes.

I don’t, I’d have to watch the engine analyzer. My thing is, how could they have gotten dirty or how could anything have realistically changed with the work that was completed? It was perfectly fine when it went in.

I fly a Cherokee 180 and all was fine. We took it in for a routine oil change, spark plug cleaning and rotation. The mechanic replaced an EGT sensor on cyl #3 and two spark plugs. I took it out for a test flight yesterday and now, the CHT’s are reading 400f-500f all of a sudden. I’m thinking it...

So I’m working on my CMEL now. Once I get the rating, what are my options to get multi time? I guess my question is, how are people getting the 25-50hrs for the airlines? Paying for dual time? It seems difficult. I hate how there are these requirements of x number of hours but there’s very...

I am not terribly worried about becoming a wide body captain. I am very content settling for major airline FO. I also have a day job that I’m content with, so if I have to continue working in my career now for a while longer that’s OK and I’m fortunate in that regard. I understand as well that...

As I’ve mentioned previously, I’m hustling as quick as I can to that 1500hr mark with the proper ratings to boot. As I browse the internet and visit other airports, I start realizing just how many are chugging along the same path. Seems like everyone and their mother are trying to reach the...

I am just about to get started on Multi Engine Commercial and then proceed to CFI, as I keep pushing toward becoming a pro-pilot. I am currently on logbook #2 and unfortunately, when I bought the one I have now (Jeppesen) I didn't realize that it's really tailored for initial student pilots, as...

That’s understandable. Thanks!

So you still think there will be a healthy amount of hiring for us climbing the latter based on what you see? It’s definitely no surprise things are slowing down. My goal has primarily to get ahead of the game when the next wave happens. I’ve got a good day job, so I’m not dependent on the...

So what does this mean for those of us working toward regional minimums? I’m currently 1,100TT almost finished with Commercial Multi and then starting on CFI. Will it be harder to get into a regional FO job in the next couple years? I realize nobody has a crystal ball, but it would be cool to...
