Avantair Training Contract

[gunfyter]

I would be willing to take that risk. If you are terminated and they still want their 18K.... fine keep paying you your salary then.

They are the one's breaking the contract.

Sounds stiff to me, maybe this could be a reason why they can not find enough people.

Say what??? I sent them a resume several months ago and didn't get any interest whatsoever. I have over 1500ME and 1000 in the 727 which is what I am flying currently. My total is on the low side but it met their mins as of late last summer. I know they have raised the total to 2500 but gee whiz, doesn't 1300 turbine make me qualified to fly the Piaggio?

Why?

Why would you want to go from a B-727 to a P-180?

All contracts tell me one thing, the company has high turn over... If you dig deeper you usually fine a reason why. Is pay still 25,000 first year at AvantiAir?

You are a wise man.

Why would you want to go from a B-727 to a P-180?

1. Because I am about to lose my job.
2. I will be a life long SIC where I am at now even if we did have work in the future here.
3. Pay is frozen and Captain Pay is higher at Avantair than FO pay where I am at now, plus it's PIC turbine increasing my future potential.

I do love the 727 though.

JD, you are wrong about a high turnover rate

No, he's not.

Its $30k for first year

and there is almost no turnover ***apple or cherry***

 

[RollandPull]

the only turnover this year has been 3 pilots - one pilot got called up by Continental, one pilot left because he got a job with ATC. Only one pilot left because he was disgruntled with a previous DO, he went to netjets to fly a 10.

hay Angry - how may people have left?

if you are so unhappy why do you still work here?
