I sent my stuff in a couple of weeks ago. I'm wondering if anyone has heard back from them yet. If so what are your qualifications, do you know when you start training, do you know how many they are looking to hire? Anything thing else you can think of.

Thanks
CFI

I sent my stuff in about two weeks ago as well. I have not heard a thing.

Forty-eight hundred bucks a month to fly a navajo???

Did you notice that they're advertising for a King Air pilot, but there's no King Air on their web site? That ought to tell you something. Seven on and seven off for a charter operation flying piston twins, paying fifty seven thousand a year? A new operation that advertises as having been in business since 1994...is sixteen years all that new?

Carrot dangling is a way of life for employers in this industry...if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If it sounds good in aviation, it's probably too good to be true.

The website has not been updated for a while. We are not a new company, but are entering into new ventures. We have filed some positions already and will probably be looking for more in about a month. We pay above industry average because we are looking for above average pilots. We do not dangle carrots that we don't intend on giving! Been there, done that. I apologize to keep those that have expressed interest waiting this long... it is a busy time, right now. Thanks for your patience.

What are their minimums?

Made more per year flying a Navajo in Alaska.... I guess industry standard is in the eye of the beholder! There's always less, always more!

This job isn't being advertised in Alaska. Big difference between Alaska wages and what's paid in the lower 48. Especially for a piston twin job. Especially for one being advertised as a "new and rapidly growing" company that's really been around for 16 years...but hasn't yet updated it's web site.

No opinion...just the facts. Curious why the poster started the thread by calling it a "new" company. Just bought it perhaps, but the certificate has been around a while? Just hired on, and it feels new? Rapidly growing...web site shows a seneca and a navajo. But the poster tells us there's a king air, just haven't had time to update the site yet. He already has a site, trying to sell and advertise flying time in that king air...but hasn't bothered to put it on their own web site? Still signing the lease? Don't quite have it online, yet?

Industry standard isn't in the eye of the beholder at all...that's why it's industry standard. Alaska doesn't count, as the nature of the work, the pay scales, and every other aspect of flying in Alaska differs vastly from the lower 48.

Alaska pay is not industry standard. It is above for pretty good reasons!
And, what avbug said...
