Citation Excel Job

[HDA]

I met a CEO of a company that has an Excel on order and is looking for another pilot. He gave me his card and asked me to send my resume ASAP. I have 1100TT, 400ME w/350 of that SIC in the 1900D. Currently an FO for a regional.

What are variables the company would have to look at in considering my application? How does TT and insurance relate in in the corporate area? Does insurance really matter if there is a type rated guy in the left seat? I could log SIC until I was type rated right? What would be the expected average salary for a job such as this?

Anyone here flown the Excel? I would imagine it is a sweet plane.

I just dont know alot about corporate gigs so I would appreciate some insight. Thanx in advance for any help?

What are variables the company would have to look at in considering my application?

The biggest "variable" they will look at I am sure is whether or not you will be "insurable" at a reasonable price.. This all depends on how the insurance policy has been written and if they (company) will send you to a Flight Safety/another school or if the training will be done "inhouse".. I think you may be able to get on the insurance with your times however some insurance companies will require much higher requirements and will even want time in make and model before they will insure you... I guess any lower time pilot could be "insurable" if the operator is willing to pay a much higher price to get that kind of policy written, I have seen this go both ways so it really all depends on many variables. We recently aquired a CJ1 on our certificate and the insurance requires both pilots to be Flight Safety current even though it is a single pilot aircraft- we are not even allowed to put a 135 qualified SIC up front unless he has been to Flight Safety and is current and must have X amount of hours in that airplane within the preceeding 12 months... They will not allow us to do the SIC training inhouse. Could we get this policy changed.? Surely, but it would cost much more for the insurance to do this and sign off on it....


I guess it really depends on what the specific insurance company is looking for and what kind of policy will be written.
I have a friend who was hired at Spit Fire Aviation and is right seat on a Lear and King Air 200 and he had right around 1200TT and very little multi-engine time with NO jet experience so it really can and does vary across the board-


good luck
