Avantair?

[brewerdog]

as far as average time...last three FOs I flew with were retired airline guys with millions of hours so that makes "average" hard to judge

still a fun job, nice people and fun times

 

[I'm lost]

What the deal with bases etc.? Do you have to live in a certain area or what?

 

[brewerdog]

they have LAX, DEN, DAL, BOS, ORD, SFO, TEB, and some in FL but last I heard they don't want/need more pilots there or LAS either,

[brewerdog]

does avantair have any plans on offering reasonably affordable rates for some decent health bennies?

 

[clambdin]

If you are single the health insurance is very affordable .

 

[super88]

Base choice

How are the bases awarded? Seniority?

I'm trying to find something that will allow me to live in Denver.

Thanks,
G

Avantair hires into a base. Right now they need crews on the West Coast so getting Denver would be a very good possibility.

As for insurance the high cost for fam insurance is set for FY 2007 but I would hope as Avantair grows they can get better rates and help out more.

One thing that will never happen. Health insurance rates will never become less. They have you paying x amount they never lower it. Especially with rates skyrocketing and guys sayin, "hey if you're single" still accepting the job.

That's good. I'll let my fiance know she'll have to get her own health insurance.

No worries. HillaryCare is coming soon!

Gunfyter: Doesn't your company pay 100% healthcare on your behalf. Some people would call that Socialism/Hillarycare.

 

[gunfyter]

HillaryCare is when the govt pays for it.

What we have is part of my compensation that a private corporation provides.

One is sustainable (because it comes from a profitable corporation), the other is not (because it would come from a bankrupt welfare state).

No matter... its coming ... so no one need worry.
