I am working on my ATP minimums. I own a Piper Cherokee, I am very motivated to finish up. I am located in South Florida and hope to get through the final 400 hrs in the next few months. Let me know, I'm very motivated. seizeking@gmail.com
If you're interested in splitting some time with him?lol let you know what ?

Frankly, for a pilot who communicates like that, the answer is a "hell, no."
There are all kinds of trouble that can lead to, some of it serious.
A commercial pilot should be able to do a lot better.

It's not uncommon or illegal for 2 pilots to get a plane and share operating expenses. Safety pilots can even log PIC for the time the PF is under the hood assuming it was properly briefed that the safety pilot will be the acting PIC for that time. This is a common way that people build time, so I'm curious to know what you're hinting at here...

Well, I am in South Florida and I give you my permission to fly those 400 hours in your Cherokee. Won't bother me. Is that what you are asking about?
Did you see that on another site?He's out of TMB and it's a $40hr hood/safety arrangement.

Not bad really, I'll probably end up doing some hood time with him.
$40 an hour in a plane the burns that much in gas is not a bad deal. Yes, I understand that they are splitting the costs and sharing the time following the legal route that the FAA has allowed.
Look at it this way, how much is it for two people to wet rent a Cherokee from an FBO in his area? I think you would be hard pressed to find one for $80 an hour. As an aircraft owner, $80 is a generous, but realistic, rate to operate my plane for an hour.
$1,000 annual
$1,000 a year for insurance
$1,800 a year for my t-hanger (Yes, I have it good.)
$19-$9.50 an hour ($3,800 divided by ? hours a year. 200-400)
$ 10 an hour for engine overhaul fund ($20,000/2,000 hours, yes I can field overhaul it for under $10K if I don't need a crank or too many other parts.)
$ ? an hour for misc. aircraft maintenance ($750 for a DG, $300 for transponder maintenance, etc.)
$1 an hour for oil & filter costs
$40 for owner costs
$40 in fuel
$80 an hour is realistic

For a decent Cherokee or 172 around here the price is $109 an hour wet.

$109 is the best rate in the area (Richards). It goes up from there. Seems like $120ish is average.
Way to take the high road.I completely agree, I apologize for not completing my thoughts. I can also see the internet bravado that comes with not posting names and information. I am trying to complete the hours that HR 5900 now requires for a regional position. I am also trying to do this as economical as possible and working a fulltime job, upwards of 70 hrs a week. I own the aircraft, I fly the aircraft and I do all of this in the safest manner possible. Again I apologize to internet watchdogs for my gross error.
There's also a nice 530 equipped Warrior II for the same price right down the row that you can also take to the Bahamas.
Really? Who owns that one? I looked at Richards planes and it seemed like a couple of 172s and a multi-engine in the hangar. Maybe I missed one.

Cool...you are among the few not hiding behind the screen...I like that. I'm just trying to get through this, I don't have the interest in bothering anyone. Ain't nobody got time for that! Happy flying!!!Anonymous bravado, LOL. Hey, you want my name and number, just PM me. Protip - it helps to have a thick skin if you are going to post on the internet. That said, if I needed time, I would be happy to split the $80 with you. That is a very reasonable price. I rent the club 172 for about that and there is a decent 172 at an FBO for $100. Same FBO has a 162 for $95 wet.

I'm still curious why you are buying these 400hrs for the ATP?
A working pilot should do that in 6mo or so and get paid to do it.
Also not having working industry experience ain't going to look good when you're sitting next to another applicant with a ATP who has built all his hours post CPL WORKING in the industry.
YMMV
Not one of Richard's, this one lives in a Hangar opposite and about half way down from Richard's hangar.
He owns the plane, he has a real job that pays real money and can afford to fly on his own dime while eating real food and living in a real apartment, lol. The time building jobs around here don't provide that.
Uhh, he's trying to meet mins for a REGIONAL airline job dude, seems like he wants to work for peanuts.
FYI there are jobs flying pt 91, 137, etc that pay rather well
I fly for a living, even before my ATP I was more then able to eat out most nights, have my own plane and a nice car.
Like I said, building all your hours for that job getting $100 burgers ain't going to look good.
They want professional pilots not wannabes, heck go fly pipeline, or 105 ops, or banner or Corp 91 or whatever, it defeats the spirit of the 1500hr requirement for the ATP by not having any WORKING experience.
Bulding hours like this for a CPL is one thing, ATP not so much.
This kinda sounds like something some of these Indian kids were trying to do back when I was in flight school, you wouldn't happen to be Indian would ya?
The SPIRIT of the 1500 hour requirement was for congress to "feel" like they had "done something". It is a pointless, useless requirement that would have made no difference....it defeats the spirit of the 1500hr requirement for the ATP by not having any WORKING experience...
