Empire 121 PICs

What gives... they're hiring street captains? Where and why? Nobody wants to upgrade?

they are hiring street captians not because nobody wants to upgrade but that everyone has been leaving due to the harsh work enviroment caused by management. when fos are leaving then it is a bad place to work. crappy pay, no time off, no rights the company does what it wants, and they make you fly broke planes break fars and if you tell them no they will fire you. also they have a training agreement that totally sucks. in my opinion there are way better airlines to work for then this one and if people would just stop thinking about themselves and stop coming to empire then they would be forced to treat pilots like human beings. stay as far away as possible.

The reason that EA is hiring street capts is because they pay capts less money than SkyWest, Horizon, Rebulic, ect pays their second year fo's. Also EA is a career killer. Stay away, I left and its the best thing I ever did.

Things went downhill fast. Couple of years ago it seemed like a decent outfit. Too bad. I'll stay away.

I wouldn't call the Evil Empire a career killer. I know a few guys who were there including me, who have gotten on with Major Carriers.
I understand what you are all saying, and yes it can suck. You just have to remember its a Supplemental Carrier, and there are very few nice Supplementals.
The schedules are always harsh, time off always bad, equipment just slightly better than junk.
They have in the past been the breeding grounds (before the RJ) for the Majors. That is what Empire has not figured out. Its not 1985 and Tprops aren't ruling the sky, or even really desirable time.
I just want to remind guys you can move on. The majority of you who know me, I think somewhat respect me so just my .02

f&b still with the same carrier that you left empire for? empire is not evena good place for a stepping stone. your chances of getting violated or fired for not wanting to be violated are huge. good thing you got out before it got even worse.

Nope, I just made my last trip with them. I'm sorry things have gone so bad there.
Being able to fly in SE does make some things better however. I miss that place.
