Flying job on Long Island NY!!!!

[Steve]

we have Cessna's and a baron you can fly call them up!!

Do you do flight training also? I assume you need part 135 mins to fly the Baron?

You'll definitely fly alot. Salary is a tad on the low side, especially for NY. Owner is tough but a respectable guy, and CP and DO are both great guys. Overall, a good place to work with top notch equipment.

How low is the low side?? I met with AK a couple years ago (just Beechjets then) and I almost choked when he made the offer. Took us each about 30 seconds to see that we were light years apart on $'s. As I recall his offer was about 55% of what I was making at the time which meant that he would have to double his number to get real for me. (BTW my salary then was good but not near the top of the scale for corp/135 work in NY)
As I recall the DO at the time was a a corp pilot for someone in NJ. Is he still there? Seemed like a really nice guy.

New guy as DO former airline guy. Actually most of us a former airline guys. I guess you were asking for 6 figures off the back and yes that is alittle bit un-real.

No its not a little bit un-real.

Maybe to ex-regional guys used to making $13/hr it sounds crazy...

former airline guys = cheap labor.

I dont care if you fly a beechjet, Ny is expensive. You will live like a refugee on 50K.

simply sounds very "entry level"

Come on G200, they're getting to fly a jet, and live in NYC. You should be willing to pay them for that expeirence!

 

[capt_zman]

You try and say something decent and it turns into living like a refugee????

I have a buddy there making pretty decent money as a beechjet captain. I also have a buddy flying the hawker and the g, making pretty good money as well. Not great, but anything under 300k is sub-par for G200 anyway.

Things have grown quite a bit over the past few years for AK. Like I said before, the DO and CP are great guys and have pushed hard on AK to increase wages and time off.

 

[h25b]

Yes, 50K in NYC does equate to refugee status.

 

[capt_zman]

Still not sure where the 50k number came from. Then again, I really don't care either.
