Consider Avantair

[bailout]

Lets put it this way, the majority of people who say they like it, either fly it, or on it. Everybody who flew the Brasillia loved it to, until they got into something else. I'm not saying anything bad about it, other than it just looks unusual. I hear great things about it performance/cabin wise. What I was trying to point out was, of the 4 major fracs, AV is on the bottom. That doesnt mean they are bad per say, just that there are 2-3 better places to go.

Also, I doubt anyone goes from a share in a jet into a P180, its quite common the other way around however.

Nope. Colgan. Scenic before that.

It's not even one of the four big fracs. NetJets, Flexjet, Citation Shares and Flight Options are the big four. I guess Avantair could be number 5.

Number 5 in size yes....

Number 5 in quality of life pay etc. At the worst #4 Options takes the cake when it comes to being the worst QOL right now.

Most of them dont have upgrade in a year.

I talk with owners ALL the time who have come to the P-180 from a small jet. They say it doesnt even compare.

Things are not perfect at Avantair...... but they are not bad either.

Does Avantair hire captains off of the street?

 

[celloman]

They did about two years ago but our curent DO says never again if he can help it. So to answer your question... No.

Upgrade in a year.

Your assumption would be very wrong. Have you seen the price of Jet fuel lately?

I have talked to numerous owners who have left other programs and come to avantair due to the price point and comfort of the plane. The P180 will do TEB to PBI in approx 3hrs and a fuel burn of around 2000lbs. Find me a jet with a comparable cabin that can burn that little fuel on the same trip.
