Avantair question ?

[Hutchman]

Does anyone know what the pay is for their FO and Captain? What kind of benefits? Medical? 401K?

 

[glasspilot]

This would be close. As far as benifits, around $400 per month for family, much less for single. I hear this is an aera they are working to improve. 401K with 3% match (i think). 7/7 sched.

I have heard that street captains are still hired, but only under "special circumstances".

I have to agree with everyone else my friend. No more street captains

From the ad on Climb to 350:

Minimums requirements:
• 2500 Total Time
• 1000 Multi-engine
• 250 Instruments
• 100 recent hi speed multi engine turbine or type rating
• 250 Hours in the past 12 months
• Airline Transport Pilot
• First Class Medical
• US Passport and copy of birth certificate
• FCC Restricted Radio/Telephone Permit

Competitive Qualifications for the First Officer positions available are:
• 5000 Total Time
• 1500 Multi Engine
• 500 hours in hi speed turbine aircraft requiring a type rating to operate

The ad says an ATP is required but I think an ATP written will do, but you will need to take your ATP ride before you upgrade.

They have to be off of their rocker if they think 5000 hours is competitive with those payscales! NJA first year fo pay is slightly less than their first year captains pay.

No shortage of 5000+ hour applicants/new hires here.

tk855,

Well, I hate to tell you this but I have 2800 tt and was the lowest time guy in my class by about 3000 hrs. Only person in my class with out my ATP. None of the guys have any "skeletons" in the closet. I think the kicker was the 1 yr upgrade for most of us. EVERY one had prior 121 or 135 time and had chosen to leave there old job due to furloug, retirement, or better QOL.

Thanks,
celloman

Might I inquire as to where you found that delicious hamburger??

Saw the Avanti Air Flying Catfish in the movie Miami Vice.

Saw the Avanti Air Flying Catfish in the movie Miami Vice.

Are you sure that wasn't an Adams 500 prop (new aircraft type looking like an updated Skymaster)? Thought I saw it on the movie trailer....

 

[e=mc2]

It was also in the movie; however, if you actually go to the movie you will see both. In the interest of accuracy a Lear, and a King Air as well.

Can anyone working for Advantair tell me what are the downsides there? Of course- please include the perks too. I am flying the regionals t-props and I am looking for a solid growing company. How do you like the schedules? Does it run into 7+ days? How are the company gateway travels to/from?

Are the client lists growing? Thanks for the info. Its great to hear from the inside.

I believe that one of the downsides is that they won't hire anyone that has not done enough research on the company to spell the name correctly.

I was offered the job with about 2900tt, 2100pic, 700 Lear25 sic, 1000 multi and an ATP.

She said my time was a little low, but I was competitive because I had 135 experience and Lear experience. I seem to remember them posting their minimums on their site, but I just looked and cant seem to find them.

Hope that helps, Im sure some of the other guys on the line can answer your question better.

You sound like you have some pretty competitive experience for a lot of turbine PIC jobs (king air etc). I am surprised that time is considered low by avantair. Are they in need of captains, so they are looking for times for an upgrade?

I am considering applying with 1900 total, 1000 multi, 1100pic, and 1000 turbine sic (of which 850 turbojet (airline), 150 t-prop (small frac,)). Would I be at all competitve?

On another note, how hard is it to get DIA as a base?

So you wont get hired if you want to stay in Florida becuase they are fat on pilots there?

They make you move? Do they relocate you?

I have a feeling you already know the answer to this one.

I applied with 2100 all multi engine turbine (military)... I haven't heard.
