What?
I'll introduce you to some if you want. If you are captain qualified you should be making over $70,000 or you're getting ripped off. I make well over that and know guys who are FO's who are making more than $65,000. I guess it depends on how long they want guys to stick around?
Interview Suits
Interview suits should be navy blue or charcoal gray. Earth-toned colors, like tan, light gray or olive green, aren't formal enough and shouldn't be worn. Black suits are plenty formal, but are inappropriately flashy. You basically have two choices: navy blue or charcoal gray...
Our Worst Enemy
This is a great point - but let me take it a step further since we're on this topic.
While I agree with you that we are our own worst enemy in the kind of nonsense you mentioned other guys have said to your boss - the other thing that often happens in flight departments is...
This is a huge problem in the field in which we work. Unfortunately most companies view our job as "easy" or "not demanding of much time". I think it is important that you set a tone early on in a department of helping them understand that they pay you for what you know, not how many hours you...
NBAA Calculator
I think the NBAA Calculator is just a good tool to help you prove that you will need more guys than what your company will want to hire. That is based on simple things such as days available, days off, training, vacation, etc... There is no perfect way to calculate it other than...
Calculating the Number of Pilots Required
Calculation of Number of Pilots Based on Number of Days Pilot Is Needed
Each company could vary this calculation according to its own requirements. This sample calculation presumes a seven-day-a-week operation (the aircraft is available seven days a...

This is the site that contains the NBAA's suggestion for calculating pilots needed. Hope it helps.
JP11 is correct in saying just admit if you get a question wrong. But I'll add one thing, dig deep for as much information as you possibly can. They do like honesty, but apparently they like to see you try and give an answer to their question. I went with the honesty and just said "I don't...

You can't be serious
I hope that this ad is just a joke? There can't possibly be anyone stupid enough to take a job like this one. Our industry can't be getting this bad can it?
Actually I'm not disgruntled, sorry it came off that way. I was just trying to encourage w8n4ual. Things look pretty good for the furloughed guys at NJA, and if they can get a job I'm very happy for them. I hate to see anyone out of work.
I was just trying to compare my current status with...
Fractionals and Furloughed Pilots
Had several furloughed United Airline Pilots at my interview. Infact, all but 3 or 4 of us were furloughed Airline, and there were 19 at the interview. I believe they all got hired, and I did not. So I would say that you have a pretty good shot at getting a...
What can a Citation III Driver Make?
I think you asked a question before your fellow furloughed airline brother took this in a different direction?
I fly a Citation III and SII for a living so I am giving you first hand information. I guess he is hiring you as a First Officer for right now, at...
What to do?
Whatever you do, don't go to your partner! Take it from someone who has been through what you are going through, don't go to him. If he is as big of a crook as you say, he will have you fired, and your record will be tarnished.
Either nail his a$$ to the wall legally, or get...
3M Correction
I need to make a correction to my former post. 3M flight department was founded in 1950 which makes it 52 years old.
I was just up at their place and will confirm that they are not hiring at this time.
Great bunch of guys with probably some of the best working conditions possible.
3M
I don't know that it is Military only, but I believe most of them are Military background. Your biggest problem is going to be that no one ever leaves. I believe they have only had two pilots quit in the history of the flight department, and the flight department is around 40 years old...
SIC - Citation SII
Again, the SII type certificate requires two (2) pilots. Yes a pilot can get a single pilot type and if he operates under the particular stipulations of that single pilot type he can fly the aircraft by himself. But this does not mean you cannot log SIC.
The poor guy...
