Getting the CShares interview

[ENCOREPILOT]

On Your Six,

CitationShares does not fly Encores, I was an Encore captain for another company. Guess I need to change my username. I fly Bravos for CS. everyone is hired into the F/O position. Like many I am patiently waiting for the upgrade.

Encore,

When you upgrade, would you upgrade on your current aircraft (Bravo) or could you upgrade to the Captain position on the CJ1 or Excel? Do you typically have the progression within your current aircraft or could you jump to another aircraft if a spot opened up (or if you requested it)?

By the way, how does the Bravo compare to the Encore in terms of performance, comfort, etc.?

On your six,

The encore and bravo are very similar. I only notice that I'm not in the encore when I look at the groundspeed and at high FL 43-45, other than that its the same. Progression at CS all depends on the needs of the company. Most people in the bravo upgrade to captain in the bravo. Pilots have upgraded to captain in the cj from the right seat of bravo or excel, generally excel f/o's upgrade to another aircraft. Although, I have heard up f/o's upgrading and staying in the excel. It all depends on the needs of the company. Timing
