Vision Air = Greedy Air
B757Driver is right.
But, Vision has a pizzpoor history during the good times too.
They were pulling prorated training contract bull**** in the mid and late nineties and paying 1K. The kicker is they make make some incredible profit margins and can afford to pay much higher.
This isn't some flight school with high costs and limited students paying a CFI 15 out of the 25/hr for dual.
We could easily be talking millions a year here in net revenue.
Be assured though that they are hurting in the post 9/11 enviroment.
They have/had/will screw a pilot during A 135 CHECK RIDE/OR AIRLINE EMPLOYMENT CHECK.
Wasn't me ... but these guys I know...
One was basically told to seek reemployment because their checkride was going to be "difficult to pass".
Another was bad mouthed by this company to Eagle and did not pass the background check. Which of course is ILLEGAL.
To get an interview at another company while working there you have to bribe the scheduler with free pizza to "not tell anyone" and get the day (singular) off.
Avoid Thunderstorms by at least 30 miles,
Get your time and get out.
