Nope not management...
Nope I don't work for Vision, I have a friend who just finished class there. He was crashing in my spare room while looking for an apartment. I am a C750 captain that lives here in Vegas. The thing with the paycheck was my addition to what my buddy told me. My point was that Vision pays better than pretty much all the regionals starting out and doesn't lock you in to a contract.
Vision's manuals and training are maintained under 121 regs and the 121 routes are flown as such. The 135 stuff is operated under the 135 operating provisions but the 121 manuals and training system. Apparently they are one of the first to try this. It seems pretty kosher to me (ex-airline) I actually skimmed through it because we are changing the way my flight department handles some of its manuals. Its kind if spiffy the way everything works out. Since the 121 training and operating experience regs are more stringent than the 135 regs you actually end up with a safer 135 operation without all the unnecesary 121 operating requirements (i.e. flight following, dispatch, alternate and fuel requirements) which is good if you are flying VFR to GCN (mostly).
As far as working your a$$ off you are right, my previous post is based upon what is supposed to happen as far as schedules go it seems like they will get it all done the way they say. Personally I'm getting old and couldn't do a job like that. My buddy is single and has no problem with the schedule the way it is, guess we'll see in a few months how he feels.
As far as the company being shady I've had a beer with a few of the guys there now, they seem OK and pretty much everyone I've met likes their job. Of course I don't work there so this is second hand. My two cents take it as you will.
