Anyone know of jobs around KAPA?

Here are a few....

Mayo Aviation - 135 operator
International Jet - " "
X-Jet - 135 and management
Mountain Aviation - 135 operator
Airmax - 91 management
Key Lime Air

Lots of corporate operators.

Not sure of any openings, have to knock on some doors.

I appreciate the response, will look into those. Thanks again

International jet never stops hiring lear first officers but they dont pay sheet. Key lime never stops hiring but they crash their ugly airplanes all the time, do an ntsb search. certain gigs at x-jet would be really nice, very wide range of airplanes, some part 135, some just 91, difficult to get in the door there i think. dont know about any of the others.

Mayo seems like a great company, but IMO the pay leaves a bit to be desired. Last I checked you have to start in the King Air- on alert 5 or whatever. You can advance to the right seat in whatever comes open- which I didn't like. I think there should be a fair progression based on tenure. If I was sitting flying left seat in the lear 35 and a right seat in the Challenger opened up and got filled by newer guy coming out of the King Air... I'd be pissed. Also, like I said the pay was ho-hum (but better than the 22K I-jet offered me to fly right seat in the Lear with 1000+ hours in type!)

Check 'em out though. They were the only ones there last year that I even considered. BTW, Key Lime was saying 35K for left seat in the metro.

Again, I appreciate everyone's input, I will keep looking

Not that it is what it should be, but ijet is now at least 27 k the first year, and you will either upgrade or not be there the second.

That's not too bad. If it gets you where you want to be and you can handle whatever the on-call arrangement is it could certainly be worth getting your foot in the door in that job market. I actually really liked everyone I met there and they have a very nice facility.

They still managing some aircraft too? I understand getting a slot on a managed bird is a much better deal there... if you're in the right place at the right time.

There is also Quiznos and I think the company that owns HBO.

 

[super88]

hmmm, I thought they were at JeffCo?

 

[thatpilotguy]

Quiznos is not at APA, atleast not to my knowledge. Xjet seems to be adding aircraft on a daily basis...now I don't necessarily think that it's hard to get in their, but its more like they are so busy they don't have the time to interview. A persistant pilot might just land a good gig over there. A lot of their aircraft did come with crews...more like the plane moved from it's previous location to Xjet, so I really don't have any idea what they might be looking for.

As for other operators, they are actually a few of them there, just not any looking to my knowledge. Airmax use to be based near us, they seem to be growing or promoting guys and looking for pilots from time to time. I know they pay well and have good equipment and moved into their own hangar...no idea if they are looking now.

It's a pretty tight knit group here...I wish I could be more help. PM me, and we can chat a little.

Netjets and Flexjet have DEN bases....and Netjets has a COS base.

Quiznos is out of BJC. The only way to get anything at APA is to start knocking on doors. I know several people at Mayo and they all love it. In reference to an earlier post, the upgrade there is off of senority yes, but they also take into account your merit.

Avoid Keylime like the clap, I have no idea how that operation is still in business. They have CONSTANT violations and have indeed cracked up several airplanes.
