Empire Air

Any past or present alum from empire care to share about the company. I know the bases just looking for QOL, Pay, bennies, training, & management interaction. I'm looking at getting out of the people hauling side.

Thanks
Jobear

I worked there for almost six years. Don't have too much to say bad about them. I think they are one of the better carriers in that end of aviation. I have recomended it to quite a few people.
The southeast AK flying was some of the coolest work I have ever done, and most of the crews were great.
But, I am a bit of an anomoly, I just enjoy moving boxes in old airplanes.

good company, with good people. Been here 3 years, and been treated real well. You don't fly a whole lot except for the SEA or CWA bases.

Same as everyone else has said. I've been with EA for 3 years and most everyone treats you very well. That doesn't mean you don't have to watch your back , but all in all I think it is a great place to build time and even stay if you like your base and don't mind 5 figure salary for your career.98% of the crews are great people to fly with also.

Are they looking to fill any FO slots in the near future? Ideally in the NW (wishfull thinking, I know)?

How often do the TX bases come open and what are the chances of getting there?

 

[Rip Vanwinkle]

How many vans? What are the bases for those like? Any movement between vans and the fokkers/atrs?

Thanks,
Rip

I flew the Caravans then went to the 121 side, and look what its done for me. I fly a premium 1960's jet to glorious places like Bujumburri, Burrunda (don't hate me if my spellings off, I think theres an h in there.)
