I may be completely off base here but it is my understanding that Native Air only operates helicopters and PC12's. The FAA registry lists only ONE PC12 under Native Air. Now, they may charter a Challenger or Excel from another company for longer flights, but I think it is completely misleading to list this as a "Citation Excel/Canadair Challenger" job. If you check out the website you linked, it makes no mention what-so-ever of any type of aircraft. I highly doubt they'd be looking for a Challenger or Excel captain with their minimum qualfications listed at 2000TT!

This is what they say on their home page:
http://www.native-air.com/main.html (look towards the bottom of the page)

"Native Air Services proudly presents its Executive Charter Service for business or pleasure travel. Our private jet aircraft are finely appointed, fast and offer you the scheduling flexibility that make private jet charter a sound travel option. We operate a Citation Excel and a Canadair Challenger 601-3A corporate jet aircraft, from our location in Phoenix, Arizona. We are certified to fly in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean Islands."

My apologies if I misunderstood something....

But they do seem to be looking for a rotor-wing pilot too.

Native Air operates those aircraft.

As far as mins for the Excel/Challenger jobs, those numbers certainly don't reflect the competitive times for those machines.

The Citation V they operate out of Rochester (Mayo) is captained by an ex-Navy guy with 5k+ turbine, from A-4s to Sabreliners to the Citations. He was in my class, super guy.

The Challengers are flown by one of the CPs and the owner of Native, a former 75/76 CA from America West, among other senior guys in the company that all have extensive experience; on. They operate both on charter and as CAM flights overseas.


There is more than one PC12 in Native Air paint, I assure you, since I've flown three personally (562/317/613). There are five or six- can't think of the other tail numbers.

I met some of the native air guys out west flying the XL. Nice guys. They made okay money but didn't have any days off. They worked a ton. Never really knew if they were coming and going. One of them was picking up extra trips for money so his schedule was his own doing. The other guy was working a lot too. They seemed to be happy.
