We forecast increased business for the fall and are in the process of upgrading our entire fleet of C172s to G1000 cockpits (which are quite nice - started my training this morning). All aircraft are also equipped with top-notch avionics and ADS-B traffic avoidance hardware and software (NEXRAD also available in ADS-B-equipped aircraft).

If you are interested, please plan to attend one of these fairs. If you cannot attend, I strongly suggest that you apply at www.erau.edu/er/erhr/index.html immediately. If you have questions, please contact Chuck Kelley (HR-Flight) at 386-226-4956.

We hope to see you here shortly. Best of luck...

uh oh...let the games begin!

 

[IP076]

If living in Florida isn't your game, check out ERAU-Prescott. Same great benefits as above...and its not Florida!

PM Me for more info.

 

[unreal]

Yeah, I'm going to the August 7th class at PRC, and those benefits are looking mighty fine. Definitely a good gig it seems, even if people here on this board take exception to anything ERAU.

 

[kf4amu]

That would be a 60 percent pay raise from the job I do on campus. I need my CFI ASAP.

 

[merikeyegro]

I've heard all the bad talk. We're under new management here and all is well. New contract signed and everyone is generally happy. Great bennies and pay. Not a bad place to work, really. FL is what you make of it. Hopefully, we'll see you shortly.

Does PRC make the same amount of money? Are they now union as well? For those of you interested in applying, I used to teach there and I really liked it a lot. PRC is a great town and has gotten quite a bit trendy with a new mall (used to be Walmart was the happenin mall), great hiking, mountain biking, snowboarding within 2 hr drive, and PHX an hour and a half away. Great place for a family, too.

The Rates and Benefits are exactly the same at both campuses. PRC doesn't have a union. I'm not sure when you were here last, but this place has pretty much exploded. (Along with housing costs). The "Greater Prescott Area" is now well over 100k population.

You might want to watch out on promising snow boarding too! With the winters we've been having, its been about 2 days of skiable conditions a year up in Flagstaff.

Actually, the Benefits are the same, the rates should be the same, but I don't know if they've changed because the new Daytona contract was just recently signed.

Back in May, the Prescott flightline told me that I'd be paid $14.72/hour starting. Is the plan to actually match DAB's rate? $15.50/hour starting would certainly be nice.

 

[IP076]

That is usually the plan, but even if they don't match, there is an annual increase going into effect soon that should bring the number very close to that.

It is also dirt cheap to live in Daytona. We had a 3 bedroom apartment and the rent was $680 a month (The Barrington). That was 2 years ago, but I am sure that it has not changed all that much.

now, theres a comment that irks me... for the last 5 years, I've listened to Daytona guys say how they deserve more money since its more expensive to live there!

I don't think you can touch a 3 bedroom appt in Prescott for under 800 or 900. Heck, new homes you can't find for under 200, and thats in Prescott Valley or Chino Valley. (Most are around 250, in Prescott its closer to 350)

 

[merikeyegro]

...and rental properties have all but disappeared here, so the rents have gone up a bunch. Not sure you could get much, aside from the Barrington (really? Kind of a crappy place), for less than $900 for 2 beds. It's still a relatively cheap place to live and there is decent housing near campus. You can pay for all of your bills and food, if single, for about $900/month. When I moved here, that was about $750. Of course, gas was about $1/gallon. Now, it's about $2.80 here.

Don't have a clue about PRC, although I hear they're usually in step with us. Our contract is effective 7/1 (beginning of the new fiscal year) and the starting pay CURRENTLY is $14.72. It increases by 4% on 7/1 to around $15.50. The bennies are excellent, especially the retirement. 8:3 matching? Beat that anywhere. Airtran, last I knew, matched about 1:7.

Anyway, our incoming freshman numbers, as of right now, are up about 20-25% over last year and we've lost a ton of IPs recently.

If you qualify, give us a serious look. The entire campus (and university) got new bosses over the last year. We have a new: president, chancellor, flight department chair, chief CFI, asst chief CFI, and even a new director of financial aid. Lots of other, smaller changes (and we even got rid of CAPT - phased out by early 2007), too. Much better place to work than years previous. However, as you can probably tell, we need to work off years of ill will. That'll take time. Until then, we need a good number of new people to help us grow and improve.

It's still not horrible here. For the past 5-6 months, I lived in LA. Just recently moved back to PRC for the new-hire class. For the same rent I'm paying now for a 1700 sqft, 3-bedroom 2-bath house in Prescott, I had a 900 sqft 2-bedroom shanty without central air/heat. Not too good.

By the way, did the contractual pay raises change at all, or just the starting rate? If so, what are the new rates at 750 and 1200 dual?

judging from what merikeyegro said I'd bump the 750 and 1200 raises up by 4% and figure it out.

14.72 X 1.04 = 15.31 for the starting pay.

 

[LAMESAUCE]

yeah, go to daytona, and get to wear one of those cute airline pilot uniforms. plus, in daytona, you have to deal with a union. prescott is a much better place; sure there's no beaches, but there is also no nascar, no biketoberfest, and no seagulls.
