You must live within a 2 hour drive of your base city. To get this distance go to mapquest.... that's what the company uses. It doesn't matter where your base is, you will be flown to wherever the jet is at the begining of your tour. I'm on the east coast and I've gone out west numerous times to start my week. It just depends on where the empty jet is and where you fit into the puzzle. Don't think that if you're on the west coast that you wont be coming east to start.... because you will come east more than staying west.... every week is different. It also depends on which jet you are on. Most days are 2-4 legs and around 2-6 hours. But I've had 9 hour days (flight time) and have had close to 50 hour weeks... I've also sat around for 2 days and had 12 hour weeks..... it depends. But most of the time you will be gone for 7on/7off. It's a dynamic operation and will never change. If you can't handle not knowing what you're doing tomorrow and then it changes for the worse at 3am then don't come here. Because it will happen sometimes. If you pack for 7-8 days and look forward to some great flying, to some great places (and sometimes not so great places) then you'll love it like I do. It's a fun operation flying awesome equipment and a company that looks out for you. We are generally a happy lot and I want to keep it that way.

A company that "looks out for you". That's a riot. There ain't no such thing, in this business or any other, for that matter. If you think otherwise, then you have your head too far up your arse (or more than likely someone else's) too see the facts.
 
Cheer up Dooshbahg.... your glass has been half empty ever since I started to read this board... the problem with most people on this board is that they all see the negative side to everything. You don't work for Citation Shares so how would you know what the company is like. You don't see 8 million negative posts a day on CSV... take that for what it's worth. It's a great company to work for, I don't need to say that on this board. If you read this board on a regular basis and have 1/2 an IQ point then you would be able to gather that most of us at CSV are happy and that should speak for itself. FDBag, why don't you go and cry yourself to sleep and complain to someone who cares.......
 
Hey guys

I've seen the requirements on the site, but what seems to be the experience level of the average CS newhire? I have 2300TT 1500ME and a type for the Citation 500/550/560. Is this somewhat competitive?
 
CSV's website says you need to live 120 minutes from the base, but the online application asks if you live within 90 minutes. Do any of you CSV types know why the disparity?
I'm trying to learn about the fractional world, and CSV pilots seem pretty upbeat. What else can you let us know about CSV flying?
 
What is considered competitive. I applied about 6 weeks ago and heard nothing. I think I had 4300 TT, 300 jet SIC, 1700 single turbine PIC, 1500 multi. Anyone have a guess why I've heard nothing? Getting ready to apply again with 4500 TT and 500 jet SIC.

There was a policy change this past August that revised the time to 120 minutes. Apparently, the website has not been updated to reflect this change.

Relax...It's two years and counting for me. Welcome to the pilot shortage....Without an internal recommendation you're just one resume in a stack of thousands vying for a couple of slots a month.
