Can anyone give me some info on IBC Airways operating out of Miami, FL. They fly the Metro's and I think Short 360. What is training like,salary, and is it a cood company to work for, etc...?
Last I knew they had some 402's, Metros, and one Shorts 360 based in MIA. All freight to the Bahamas, Jamaica, and the various N. Carribean airports. I believe they also have authority to do limited service to Havana. Seemed like your typical 135 frieght op. I seem to remember that they had a training contract. I could be wrong about that.
I've seen ads for them for Metro pilots, and for people with BE20 experience. The rumor is they are starting some passenger service around the Carribean. 18k sounds good for FO's, 36.5 for captains, 16-18 days on a month.
Look at the "Airline Addresses" on this Web sites home address. It has IBC's Address and Fax number. If you would like to know about them feel free to PM me.
The Pay is $18,000 /yr after taxes for F.O. Capts about 36K
Schedule: you get a schedule every month with about 10 days off, but don't count on the schedule staying the same. They change your days off almost every week.
Pilots: The pilots there are pretty cool to work with, everyone (employees) there is pretty laid back.
Management: Depends on what mood the C.P. is in that day. It's hit or miss.
Upgrade: about 2 years to never, depending on how much brown nosing you're willing to do.
Routes: All from Miami to: The Bahamas, Santo Domingo, Kingston, Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Havanna, Cuba on Tuesdays.
Aircraft: 1 Shorts 360, the rest are Metros and the 402 is gone.
Training: Suxs. Training consists of the C.P. reading the manual to you all day. Drink lots of coffee cause he is very mono-tone.
Contract: None, no PFT and no training contract. At least when I was there
Miami: Very expensive to live in. $18,000 is poverty down there. Prepare to have no life.
Benefits: Medical and Dental deducted from your check ($20 a week). It's expensive and they don't have direct deposit.
Over all: It's a good company. If you're a complainer or don't get along well with others you won't last too long. I give it a 7 out of 10.
