Baja what happened to NJA or Flex?

Brasilia

I believe the Brasilia mins are 2500TT, not sure if there is a turbine requirement.

They won't hire EMB-120 street captains, wont even hire street FOs - training costs too much, and there are plenty of people sitting right seat waiting for an upgrade...I'll verify the times tonight.

The FOs can come from PA31, or BE99. Usually people will go that route, rather than take a paycut to go from SA227, or B1900 to FO in the Brasilia - not that that hasn't been done before.

The FO pays the same as BE99

Do you mean Lear FO?

BE99 Capt = $2170 a month
EMB120 FO = $1970 a month
LR-35 FO = $2170 a month

Why would a pilot go from BE-99 PIC to EMB-120 SIC?

most don't. there are kinda two paths at amf. you can go the be99 metro/sa227 route, or you can angle for the right seat on the e120. usually the metro/1900 route is the better option, unless you are tie to a location or just have a real itch to sling gear, but i've seen the e120 work out pretty well for some the the f.o.'s too. really, it's all about timing, and being in the right place at the right time.

Transport category airplane, crew environment, over 20,000# - just another box to tick on some LCC/Majors application.

I was told the other night that the BE99 pays the same as FO on the EMB-120...I stand corrected.

Actually, you were close. The first year pay is different between the E120 FO and the 99 Capt. After that they are the same.

The most recent E120 FOs have come from the commercial FO program and have come online with less than 1200 total. I doubt if they would hire someone in with less if they weren't a known quantity (off the street).

Previous posts are correct. There is currently NO direct hire to the E120 left seat. There are just too many folks willing to upgrade to too few spots.

Equal in pay but not experience

As a EMB-120 F/O pay is capped at year 5

While BE-99 Capt. pay scale goes up to year 11...

I guess I would rather be sitting in the left seat (PIC) of a BE-99 waiting for a BE-1900 or SA-227... Then sitting right seat (SIC) in a EMB-120 waiting to move over to the left, when there room to move...
