3. Fabulous People

5. Yes
6. Depends on the need. Some short, some long.

I means CS (Citiation Shares) not SC... whoops

Are there any CS guys on this board?
Yes
How are the working conditions there?
This seems to depend on your background. Guys from regionals seem to like it. Retired airline guys not as much.
Good people to work with?
The usual mix of of good guys and tools.
Do you have a lot of overnights?
About 12 per month.
Do you get to keep your airline and hotel miles either on your Credit Card or the Companies? All yours and the hotel is on your credit card.

What is your typical day like?
8-12 hour duty days are the norm with 3-5 legs.
Does the company treat you right?
Most guys seem to think so. They throw us 1 bone per year to keep the gripes down.
Is there a better a/c to be on?
Bravo is a sweat box in the summer. xls seem to work the most.
Or any other thoughts?

Thanks........

Hope that helps

I just finished ground training with CS and have never been treated better by any company that I've ever worked for. I havn't started flying yet, but I have nothing but good experiences so far.

My class was about half retirees and half younger regional/corporate pilots.

Congratulations. CitationShares really is the class act of the fractional world and you've just experienced the first part of it. What airplane were you awarded? Good luck with your career here!

 

[blueridge71]

I'm on the Bravo. I start IOE tomorrow. Leaving the regionals was one of the best decisions I ever made.

To top it off, I'm former ASA. I flew ASA to/from indoc and they lost my suitcase on the way home! I actually thought that was kind of funny.:laugh:

I'm also thinking about Citation Shares. They are a class act and I'd really like work for them.

Currently, I'm flying right seat in a CJ3. I love the airplane but dislike the city. One good thing, the company sent me to Flight Safety this past June for the type.

Do you think having the type will help my chances of getting hired? I'm low on time and plan on applying when I hit the 2000 mark.

If anyone else has some advice on what they're looking for and anything I else I can do that'd be great.

Thanks

800 hours with a CJ3 type? Good on you dude...
