Any info on SevenBar Enterprises?

[frmrBUFFdrvr]

Does anyone have any first hand intel on SevenBar? I've read what I can find on the net but only two posts here mention them (and those didn't have any real info.) Company has been around for almost 60 years, so figure SOMEONE must have flown for them.

Primarily intersted in the charter/air ambulance side, not the FBO's in NM and ID.


Thanks

I haven't flown for them, but I have used their FBO's. They seem to run a classy operation. They made a big improvement at Sun Valley (I thought). If that's any indication of their operation, it speaks well of them.

I work for 7bar. What specifically would you like to know?

 

[frmrBUFFdrvr]

I've gotten most of the info from their web site. Wondering about pilot specific QOL things. Pay, benefits, schedules, bases, etc.

Also, the web site talks about Citation, but the only aircraft listed for either the charter or ambulance stuff is BE90, King Air 200 and Westwind. Any other types of aircraft?

I've only been with the company a short time so I only have limited info


Pay is dependent on base and aircraft flown.
Bases include:
Albuquerque 3 or 4 Kingair 90's (air ambulance)
Dallas / Citation (air ambulance) West Wind (charter) and a B200
Lubbock / B200 (I think)
Houston / B200 (air ambulance)
Nashville / B200 (air ambulance)
The schedule for HOU is 4 on 4 off and only has a BE20 right now. Planning to get a Citation in the near future.
7bar offers your standard benefits, Med, Dent, 401k, ect.


So far I've been happy with 7bar. No real gripes so far.

Lubbock is a King Air 90. Air ambulance.
West Wind is for sale.
HOU is supposed to get a Citation S2.

Any info more current than what is already posted????

 

[Coool Hand Luke]

I talked to some 7Bar pilots last month. Both of them were leaving the company. In fact I thought they told me the company was getting out of the flying business for the most part. Another guy I know left them earlier this year too.

Wish I had more for you.

 

[Say Again Over]

I worked for them years ago, owned by the Black family, they used to operate the most successful Cessna dealership in the country years ago, I have no relevant information to pass along concerning current operations.

I flew for SBAir back in 1998. Great transition to turbine aircraft for a lowly CFI as I was back then, although I only flew 10-15hrs/month, as what was said above. Back then they had 3 King Air E90s at DAL along with one Lear 35. 4 on, 4 off and you had to spend a couple of nights in the "ready room" cots at DAL (the hangar was at an FBO called "AMR Combs Gates.)

I flew the 3 E90s - one of them was decked out in Children's Medical Center colors with the orange balloon... N112SB. The other one was N44GK, forgot the third one. Sometimes I wonder where they are today. We flew all over TX and NM. Lots of ELP, Midland/Odessa, and HOU flights. It was a great job for a low timer like myself back then. Starting FO salary was around $19K/yr. Great group of pilots. No clue on how it is today, but glad to see they're still around.

Good luck!
