Info on Dallas Companies

[Flybet3]

Hey guys does anyone know anything about either Addison Jet center or Addison Express. I know they are both on demand 135 ops. Can anyone tell me about QOL, pay, benefits...good and bad things about the companies. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks you guys.

I heard through the grapevine that the chief pilot at Addison Express is in the pool at Southwest. If you're asking about QOL and such, you shouldn't be looking at any 135 carrier. I haven't heard of too many on demand places where you don't go there, get your time, and then move on to a good 91 or airline job where QOL and benefits are an issue. Good luck.

Of course

Of course that's the point, and thats really what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to get some TURB PIC and then get me a good 91 or 121 gig. Anyone else know anything else?

isn't Martinaire (C-208's) and Cherry Air based in Dallas area?

How about Teddy Bear Air, B-200 air ambulance?

Part 135 turbine freight is better than Part 135 I am rich-I want to charter-a-Learjet-to-Cayman operation that operates out of the back of an FBO

Cherry Air is based in Addison. Flybet, if this helps answer some of your questions: most of the pilots at Addison Express are former Cherry Air pilots. They left Cherry Air for better QOL.

Yeah, that's what I've heard...I got a lear type and I dont plan to use it at a sh*thole like scary air. I've been away from home and my wife enough, no way am I going to fly broken lears for peanuts, and be on the road for 2 to 3 weeks at a time. Anyway, so I'm guessing not many of you guys have some real indept info on Addison Jet and Addison Express. Or if anyone has any info on any other 135 or 91 companies in the DFW area. Thanks

Addison Jet is more in need of Citation III qualified people than Lear people at this time. They are looking to keep people qualified in two aircraft. Pay is ok but the schedule isn't.

Yeah I recently spoke to the chief Pilot and it's always the same BS of "well we still dont know, stay in touch, check back in a couple of weeks" I've been hearing that BS there for more than a year

Just curious what is the pay/schedule like over there?
