Avantair?

[fischman]

You guys got to look at the big picture.....
1. you are all driving turbo props.... Looks like someone has BIG-SHINEY jet syndrome...
2. you really don't need a type rating to be a CAPT. in your company. Who cares?
3. and the starting salary really sucks.....
plain and simple,
why would anyone want to work at this company?

From what I understand, the people who do work there like it. To each his own. Your post implies a big ego.

Got a look at one on a sit recently. A very nice crew proudly showed off their ride. I was impressed. Very nice cockpit and I was suprised how that the cabin was larger than it looked from the outside. Saw Goldie Hawn get out of one up in Canada a while back. Before someone gets all worked up, I don't work for them so I am just a witness.

Let me highlight a couple of things that don't suck:

-I just upgraded at 11 months.

-In my 11 months as F/O, I made (including per diem and a little O.T.) about $45K. I'll get back to you in a year and let you know how I made out as a Captain.

-I'm employed at a time when some of my good friends are getting furloughed. (Actually that does suck)

As I've already stated... the airplane is a blast and I don't give a crap about whether I need a type rating to be PIC. My co-workers are top-notch and great to fly with. The company that keeps me employed and allows me to provide for my daughter is absolutely fantastic.

I can't speak to why anyone else works for Avantair, but that's why I do.

With you, agree with it all, you may speak for me,
and,
I approve this message!
