PM me.

something like 25,000 to start as FO and 40,000 for Capt, then 6 months a slight bump for FOs and 44,000 capt, if I remember it tops around 85,000 in 10 years??? there is a bonus too but forget how it works out and per diem and the Premier guys will make more and what about the Hawker? anybody heard about that?

anyone have info on what the minimums are at Avantair? Their website doesn't seem to have any info.

Are they still getting a bunch of new aircraft? Also what is the situation of hiring street captains right now? Any contact info on who to direct the letters to? yeah I know a bunch of the usual quick ?'s

projected is one every 3 to 4 weeks, may get hired into left seat if you have high time and prior experience

go to their website www.avantair.com to apply

Has anyone heard from Avantair lately? I have been sending them my resume for the last three months and havent heard anything yet. Anyone go to an AirInc fair to talk with them? I would hate to give Kit any of my money but seems like it might be the only way...

I hate to keep bringing this up, but what is the plan with regard to jets going forward? I hear a lot of buzz about Premier Jets (I've read Avantair has 2 copies) and some have talked about potential Hawker Horizons.... So, what's the word on jets? Regardless, flying those Avantis would be a good time too I suppose...

I interviewed and was hired by them this week and was very impressed with their growth plans. The pay seems real low to me and may be the reason I don't take this job.


Any Avantair pilots out there with any QOL inputs would be appreciated.

I was told 7 on, 5 or 6 off.
Guaranteed 2 weekends off a month.
91K compliant.

That's akin to saying "I was very impressed with their optimism."

I guess you shouldn't expect to be paid Gulfstream or Hawker wages on a P180... That being said, I have seen the aircraft and talked to a few of the pilots and they seem generally happy. Looks like a fun aircraft to fly, but that doesn't pay the bills...

ClubORD,

Make sure you check that 91k compliant.

Out of NJA/OPs/Flex, there seems to be three ways of looking at 91k "compliant". May not be that big a deal to you, but thought you should have a heads up.

 

[brewerdog]

I heard they are doing proving runs in the Premier jet and heard the rumers of the Hawker too, seems like a good company but the pay is low if you are not capt, even then . . . not G-IV scale but not bad

QOL is good for the pilots I know there

I wouldn't give Kit any money but if you showed up in a suit sometime after lunch at the hotel where the meeting is held . . . worked for some people I know about

hope to start with Avantair soon, maybe next month
