Airnow Pay Increase?

[1flier]

I was wondering for any of the current Airnow flyers, has there been changes in pay recently. I have seen postings for EMB drivers starting 31500 before per diem and Shorts Capts $45K. Just wondering if any truth to that or is it pay after some type of overtime, washing the airplane and other additional duties. Plus what is the likelyhood of direct hiring with the mins they have posted, 2000/500 ME for EMB and 2500/500 ME for the Shorts. Thanks for any info and fly safe.

I'm heading over for an interview on Wed I'll post what I know back here. I am an ex USAF transport pilot living in upstate NY now and my wife has a pretty decent job so I'm looking for something that keeps me close to home and in the cockpit - They have crashed 4 airplanes in the last 2 plus years so as a past safety officer in the Air Force I'll be hitting them pretty big on their operations - everything I've seen in terms of probable cause on all crashes has been pilot error - but that doesn't mean they havn't caused some of the problems. Any time you fly at night in the wx in mountainous terrain single pilot - you better have your ******************** together - I flew some bush up in Alaska the past few years - and if the company is pushing pilots to do stupid things you have to have a pretty strong back to be able to say "This airplane isn't moving tonight" - so I'm going to ask them lots of questions on their "philosophy" of management and backing up the pilots when they have safety concerns.

That said - they are going to more Shorts 360's and if you do an NTSB search on that aircraft you'll find although there have been accidents and incidents - there has not been one fatality in that aircraft - it has a great record and is very stable paltform to fly -

I'll keep you posted on what I learn.
