Citation Shares - anybody home?

[Tatin12]

Has anyone that applied to Citiation Shares in the past 4-6 weeks heard anything? I put in an application in mid-February via their website and haven't heard a peep. Anyone else?

 

[reepicheep]

Applied via the net 6 weeks ago. Sent a follow-up email. Tried calling but got voice mail. Haven't heard anything back yet either. I'm sure the new payrates have resulted in a flood of applicants.

Do you have an internal rec.?

I did and I think that might be the difference. I applied in early March and had a buddy (CA) walk in my resume. Interviewed last week.

Keep calling Bernard. He's a great guy. I know he is busy switching positions within the company.

good Luck.

Have there been any updates with new schedules for CS? I remember someone saying that was next on the agenda after tyhe pay increase came.

Did you get the job? If so, what aircraft did you get? Thanks.

 

[phishn@daves]

Thanks for asking, there were only 2 of us that day, both got hired. The other guy was retiring from the Airforce, and I'm ex 121. They are hiring 12/month for just a little over 100/yr. Pretty good seeing as they only have about 400 pilots.

If you need any more info PM me.

We both got the Sovereign, and he's actually my Sim partner.

Take care.

 

[7777]

You have a PM. Thanks

 

[dingo222]

congrats on the hire

 

[XTW]

I'm ex 121.

Congrats and welcome aboard! Which 121?

Anybody got an email address to the person in charge PM me please.

That's a great avatar, shroom!

Congrats, Phishn!

Right now they basically have one person doing the work of 4, and that one person is in the midst of leaving to change positions.

Please be patient is the word I'm hearing..

Are they hiring for all their domiciles? How long does it take to get the base of choice?

 

[blueridge71]

No and theoretically you could do it immediately. There are no real written rules that I know of about changing bases. I've heard that all you have to do is notify your Asst. Chief Pilot. There is no bid for bases.

Since you would be under a training contract for a year though, I'd probably plan on waiting out the contract before trying to change bases.

I heard they are trying to hire for ATL, MCO, PHX, DEN, HPN/EWR, BWI/IAD.

Something about creating superbases?

In other words, they are consolidating domicile choices - right? Why is it that Netjets can offer 100 bases and CS wants a few superbases? I guess Flexjet also offers four superbases...

 

[niteflyr]

SuperBases? I didn't know Boisture went to CS!

Sounds all too familiar to us NetJets guys/gals.

 

[bigbird]

So, you cant get the base of choice anymore??

 

[Lear70]

Don't know, but it *might* make the difference between getting hired and not.

They're only hiring 8-12 a month, and that's not a lot of people when you have thousands of qualified applicants, especially now that Aloha and ATA just dumped almost 1,000 pilots with extensive jet time on the market and the majors stopped hiring.

If you *can* move, you just gave yourself an "up" on your competition who can't, if that is indeed a discriminator.

Would love to work there, but can't leave Nashville for family reasons. Hope it works out...
