Does anyone know or had experience with Citation Shares?
Management, Schedules, Pay scale, etc...

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I have two friends at CS. One just started and the other just upgraded to Capt. after two years.

The schedule is 7 off, 7 on. I think you start at $35k and Capt. is $64k. Capt. does ALL flight planning and you are scheduling's bitch while at work. But who cares as long as you get your scheduled days off?

He seems happy and is getting jerked around about the same as he did at the airline.

I havent talked to my friend who is in traing(at FSI TOL). I will call him tomorrow and see how he is doing.

It is my understanding that CS does all it's training at MCO, but then again, I have been warned not to post anything about CS without checking with them first....so take it with a grain of salt. I sure wouldn't want to get me or anyone I know there in trouble. What does that tell you?

I posted my interview experience there last year at www.aviationinterviews.com. I was impressed with the company and the professionalism of its employees.

I believe CS does its training at TOL. At least that's where my friends did theirs.TC

 

[flx757]

Could be. I just thought that they were exclusively training in MCO now, and their Director of Training was based there.

(But again, I was "warned" to check with the powers that be before posting any CS info on this board....so I'll bow out.)

Hey flx, how can you be warned if you don't even work there? What can they hold over you? I don't get it. Besides, everything you have ever posted about CS has been positive (except your comment that you've been "warned").

I personally will share anything and everything about my interview experience with them, including why I turned them down. I think anyone interested in working there, or anywhere else, should know all the positives and any potential negatives before showing up to work. This kind of information is needed to make proper decisions. EVERY job has its pluses and negatives (although those at jetBlue won't admit it...). What was an negative to me might not be a negative for the next applicant. So, flx, I say share what you have for the betterment of someone else's career at CS.

flx 757, were you also told not to post the info about a great CS Captain who was recently let go??

Word is that he was let go (read .... fired) because he was asking to get home at the end of his tour vice flying a day of overtime that he didn't want the next day??

Nope....don't know anything about that.

Does anyone have any news as far as how many they plan on hiring? What's competitive?

Thanks.

turbinhead, good evening.

Have seen many of your threads.

Answser to your question.....no.

Just have seen many things posted on this board that may or may not be true. Have many friends who fly all sorts of and sizes of "iron". Not as well informed as the General though.

The Captain in question at CS was actually recently offered a move to the Excel, which should indicate his performance.

Feeling about his firing is that OT is becoming an issue, and he was made an example of since he made the request to get home at the end of his tour.

Many good folks in all capacities at CS. Generally speaking it's a good job.

However, the personality of CS is changing, and appearing more like "one person". And, the fact is, that most of us at CS hear about all of this stuff sooner or later.

Had a phone interview yesterday. Typically HR questions. Pretty straightforward. Was told they were planning interviews in May and classes in June.
