I have heard that cherry is hiring. What's the political climate at
Cherry? What kind of landminds can you help the applicants and hire ons avoid? What is the work schedule comprised of? On the average how many corners on the FAR does the company ask a pilot to take? How much does a lear FO earn? When on the road what is per diem? Does the company ask you to pay and then trust them later for trip expenses? What does the uniform comprise of?


Thanks
Ben
 
Political climate? picture the Bill Clinton years.
Landminds? As many as you want and don't want.
Work Schedule? This week, hummm 11/3 ah I mean 21/7,

A friend of mine went from Reliant to Cherry Air (after our company went under)... he lasted about 2 weeks there before he ran screaming... in his words... " An incredibly unsafe operation! You wouldn't believe what they were asking me to do!" Meaning asking him to break all kinds of FARS and fly broke airplanes. This is second hand information, keep that in mind. However, i've never heard anything positive about this outfit.
 
Hehehehe! you guys caught it. I did that several times before, when posting the Merriam-Webster search results of a word that didn't exist. You guys are the first that caught it. It hides well, when all the other words listed, begin with F.
 
Cherry isnt exactly at the top of my "places to apply at" list. i know youre hunting turbine time...what about Martinaire?

Dam&! You beat me to it. Maybe we should plant a land mine to clear this up.;)
 
Really?

I know who you are talking about! When I was there I flew with him. He was the one of the worst pilots Cherry ever tried to put on line. The guy didn't even know how to work a radar!!! He was hired to be a Captain, but couldn't cut it and never made it to Captain. He was told he had to be an FO untill his skills improved, he chose to quit rather than to learn. About your "FAR" comment. Consider the source! An FO who couldn't cut it!
 
Ok, getting back to the post though,

I've heard four different schedules, and different commitments and pay an all. As of today, can anyone share the current info? How about the contracts?

How does the 11/28 on work? Doesn't there have to be a day off after 7 days of work? Do pilots come back to ADS when they are done with the trip or do they stay out there for a period of time?

The compensation per mile, is that either "base pay or per mile", or is it additional to base pay? How about benefits? Time off, sick, vacation?

What kind of maintenance problems do people have there. I read the mx is not all that great... are we talking little problems, or bigger things?

Just trying to make an educated decision, if I get a call...

Thanks
 
We have a 11 on 3 off schedule. You usually stay out on the road after trips, "not always". I think the FO's make 18,000 base and 5 cents a mile. I don't remember what the contract is for the FO's.

The schedule changes from 11/3 to 21/7 depending on how many crews there are, or that's how it seems! Once upon a time when I worked there pay was $15,000/yr plus 5 cents per mile for FO's and $30,000/yr plus 7 cents per mile for CPT's. There was a one year training contract for the FO's and two years for the Captain. I remember being on the road for close to three weeks straight, so take your bills and stuff with you before you leave. It's one place to get some turbine time and move one as many of us did, but there are other places out there too! Hope it helps
 
Hey Squirreldog, how did that new engine starting procedure work out for you down in Mexico ? Still the company golden boy ?
 
Dunno!

Not sure of referrence and incident. Place is full of rumors and falsehoods. Much like certain identities that have only a few posts.

Also heard Cherry hired some more guys for the Falcon. Is this done by the pilots of just anyone who walks off the street can have a chance to get in.

keeping it real!

I don't know anything about Cherry, but I heard a rumor from a Lear Driver who had a bad starter on a lear 24 or 25, claimed to have preformed a high speed single engine taxi/ air start then turned around and took off the other way. I don't even know if this is possible, but over the coffee machine in GYY at 4am, it was entertaining.
 
Enough with the alter ID thing!

You guys that are not man/woman enough to use your own profiles and normal screen names have no B*lls and don't deserve to be sitting in the front with me or any other of the legit guys/gals on here.

Come on, 1,2,3 posts and just registered yesterday, but seem to know everyone and everything going on. Big surprise, we know your a posser. I could care less, if ya'll keep playing games like children but you are not fooling anybody.

But, if you expect anyone to take you serouisly and hold a mature conversation with you, GROW UP!

Most people on here obvouisly know each other in some sort of way and sometimes people try to pretend they aren't who they seem to be. In reality most of us are adults and can seperate fact and fiction in the posts. So be your ONEself and don't worry about it if someone hurts your feelings because you addressed your true opionion on a subject and then, other people know who you are.

For quick example, Jim from Hawaiian is trying to relay info on his company and get and idea of the industry. I believe Squirrelsmasher is wanting to know how cherry's buisness is. (for the record its doing well). How is Jim suppose to know what Squirrelsmasher is talking about is this new guy is more worried about causing immature trouble than explaining his question.

Soap box Done, enough rambling for now.
<----check profile, registerd back in 2002, yes the real deal here.

fly safe

SquirrelDog, not all of us on here that have 3 or so posts are here to poke at you. I usually enjoy reading the posts as opposed to commenting on them. I may not know all the day to day details of Cherry, but YES I did work (fly) there! I probably have worked side by side with you personally. You may have done your IOE with one of us guys. I am gald to hear Cherry seems to be treating you well and they are doing good. Say hi to Charlie and Damon for an anonomous ex-Cherry pilot. I personally don't want to bash anyone person or entity on this forum and if you look at my previous post I try to state the facts as they were when I was a Cherry pilot!!!
 
Does Cherry have jumpseat agreements with anyone? I don't really need the specifics, but a yes or no would be cool.

Thanks!:)

Darren is your last name GOD. You must think you are the best.
Let's talk about your new take off procedure: rolling down the runway fully loaded single engine hoping to get the other one started so you can takeoff... hmm I haven' t seen that one in the A.F.M yet !!
And by the way, when the airplane is load shead the anti-skid is not working, that is why you damaged the tires at the end of the 11000 feet runway, in case you are wondering what happened. Quit denying it did not happened and ask the 4 mechanics and the 2 crews who had to spend the all week-end in mexico waiting for the airplane to be fixed because you did not have the maturity to deal with your mistake and decided to airline yourself home.
Talking about maturity, aren't you the one who keeps on screwing over the other crews or going to cry in the chief pilot office about other pilots ( because they are not good enough to fly with you, or may be better then you ?) so you can get them in trouble ??
Do us a favor why don't you S*%$ up and work toward being a good captain instead of thinking that you are one.
Grow up kid daddy won't always be there to support you !!
