CFM isn't the worst company out here, but they aren't as stable as they would have you believe. Right now the Jetstreams are not flying. We have 1 captain, maybe 2 in town and not enough trips to keep them busy. As for upgrading in the lear, forget about it. Won't happen in a year, maybe 2. I personally don't believe that the pilots in the Jetstreams are going to have jobs too much longer. Of course I'm just speculating, but if they aren't going to fly us they will eventually let us go. So if you take a job in JS you will probably loose that job by the end of the year unless they have a new shuttle they haven't told us about.

Fun day

Let me know how it goes and what you think!

Hey Flychick....it went pretty good, it was kind of a long day. Had a written test, then a panel interview. I guess it went pretty good, seems like a good company, good attitude. Once again, like I said "it seems". They might be the total opposite but o well, right now I just need a job and the regionals are a no no. So even if they do lay off in a year at least I got good experience in great aircraft. Thank you all for the info it really helped. The chief Pilot seems like a good guy, talked with him for about 15 minutes after everyone left. Once again thank you all and I hope to see you on the line soon.

hey causingtrouble, why are they hiring If you think they are going to let people go ??, have they furloughed in the past ?? what about the 45, any openings there? are they busy or is it like the Jetstreems?
My current FO use to work there but they didnt have a 45 back then, he had really good things to say except for the lack of time off and they flew their butts off, he still keeps in touch w/a captain there and from what he heard things are a lot better now than what they use to be, just wondering.
Im currently flying a 45 out of TX but I think they are going to close shop in a couple of months.....If anyone knows about them hiring into the 45 or maybe the 35 please let me know.

Thanks

[Flybet3]

hmmm...

did u get the job ??..what kind of questions??...what the pay like ?? panel interview??...was it w/chief pilot and hr ...or just chief pilot ?

Dont know yet, I'll know sometime by the end of the week. FO pay is between 23k-25k. 5 people interview, the chief pilot, DO, Captain, and two other guys. I didnt get any technical questions, just a bunch of old employment questions...some of logg book entries, why CFM, captain goes below mins questions. Pretty straight forward.

 

[Pelican 10]

ok cool, im still waiting for the call., we'll see !

 

[Flybet3]

Gooooood luck!!!!

Interview process was a long day. but was not as confrontational as some interviews I have been through. I think the panel interview was a "get to know you" type interview with no tech questions. there were 2 pilots that were available all day to answer questions which was pretty cool, but watch what you say, i think they are part of the process (wolves in sheeps clothing if you will). process is deceptively NICE!!

Anyone know if these guys are still in the hire mode?

 

[learthirty5]

I believe they are looking for some lear pilots and not sure about the jetsreams. I just got some answers on here today. I think the new talk about nashville companies is in the corporate section under nashville jobs.

Hey Avpro, how come the salaries are so crappy? An experienced Lear captain makes $70K and my first PT135 F/O job in Lear 35/36 in 2000 was $36K to start.
