Citation III whore

[210FR8DOG]

I finally saved up the $12.95 to become a climbto350 member. Here is the first ad on the site:

Citation III co-pilot in Las Vegas area. Must pay for own training, transportation and lodging @ Simulflite in St. Louis. $1000 per month plus $10 an hour as A&P while not flying.

That's not a type-o!!! $1000 a month?!?!?!? With a LOT of mechanic work on the side you could almost clear $18k a year? Living in Vegas?

I also saw an ad in the paper for a Manager @ Sonic..........hmmmm free cheese tots! Sounds like a better deal. I'm just venting but if I know anyone who applies for this job I'd like to slap the %&*#%^ out of them.

I'll just stay in my Baron @ $2000 a month, thanks anyway. Pitiful isn't it?

This job was discussed on this thread:

Does Vision Air Have Any Vision

P-F-T - maybe worse . . . .

As the expression goes, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks
like a duck . . . . .

Yes, it is sad. I would guarantee that this "operator" will have no shortage of applicants. And, this is no entry-level job, either. That's what really makes it sad.

At least you don't have to pay state income tax in Nevada.

PS-Speaking of no Nevada income taxes, apparently no entity, person, corporation or business, has to pay state income taxes. Read this link. Must be nice, especially for these Citation "operators." I realize that there is no state income tax in a few other states.

Sounds like another "battered pilot's shelter" posing as a flight department.


In my experience, guys who go for jobs like this usually get what they deserve. . . . kind of like the battered spouse syndrome on the Jerry Springer Show . . . "Let's see now, he makes you pay for your own training, works you to death, and treats you like dirt. Why do you stay with them?".

Sniff- "Because I love 'em, Jerry". Sniff.

Count on NO work rules, probably get paid by the day with little or no guarantee, clean the planes/do office crap on your days off, 20 hour days, and the guy who puts up with the most crap becomes CP and expects everyone else to do the same.

Oh, and get to pay for your own FAA-mandated training? Where do I sign up?

Betcha the job will be taken within a week, after they sift through a couple of hundred resumes. Sad.
