What's the likelihood of getting a right seat in a GII/III with Flightworks off the bat with no type but pretty good jet time? Are those Gucci-Jet FO seats reserved for current Flightworks pilots in the smaller aircraft? How does that work?

The majority of the right seaters in the GII's have come off the street from what I have heard. I think they just hired three or four off the street with no prior "Gucci-Jet" time for the GII in the last couple of months. I also hear a LOT of their newhires are retired Delta or other airline guys; they seem to be the only ones that will take the schedule and pay that is offered.

Great place to work, 13 on, 2 off, 12 on, 3 off. Good gig. The pay is below average too.

If the skeds are that good, how good is the pay??

13 on, 2 off, The pay is below average too.

The good news is, they can't fire you. Slaves have to be sold.

I must have gotten off the floor from laughing before Fly did and beat him to responding.

At least you knew enough not to believe that; unless 4-5 days OFF a month are a lot... The current policy is 8 scheduled days OFF a month but you will not get that. I would be very interested to know with whom you phone interviewed (initials, position, i.e.) because I would like to hear there support for that one.

And like Fly said, the pay is below any of the typical industry salary standard averages or medians (Stanton, NBAA).

What happened, bro? Last time I checked, you were on here pumping Flight Works.

phone interview

I unfortunately don't recall the individual I spoke with as it was about a year back. Seemed like they were convincing me too hard that it was a good job.
