Life at Citation Shares

DL, no, YOU must live within 2 hours. No exceptions to the rule. 2 hours on mapquest, yahoo maps, google earth, or some other map search engine. Thats the way it goes.

I have heard that they will allow the use of a map program that allows you to adjust speed lmits to realistic values that acuts a good bit off of the drive time. I do not know the name of that program. Maybe someon on here does.

Though you'd probably be fired if caught. I know of a couple of pilots at Shares that use the address of friends that are within the two hour policy(their names are........Just kidding, I'll never tell). Just make sure you use that address for all paperwork and training documents you have to fill out. They have fired a person or two who they caught living else where.

It seems like a crazy policy at first. To me it seem like as long as I make it to my base on Day 1 on time why can't I live elsewhere. The reason I was told by others was because the FAA doesn't want a pilot to drive 4 hours to work and then work a 14 hour duty day or the reverse at the end of tour (work 14 hours and then drive 4 hours home). Most of us are smart enough to get there the night before to make sure we're well rested, but the few dummies out there ruin it for everyone.

I worked there for two years and left recently for greener pastures in the Part 91 world, but it is a good place overall.

funny how netjets operates under the same FAA and a pilot can drive 20 hours and then fly 14hrs of duty. interesting how CS says its because of the FAA but the FAA has no problem with the way NJ handles it. For years, and now with new hires we have pilots commuting again.

How hard would it be to get Denver (APA?) as a newhire?

 

[bravodude]

If thats you in the picture it will be very easy. Seriously speaking we don't bid on a base you get whatever you want.

Weird how the FAA doesn't apply this logic to any other airline or fractional?

It's just a way for them to let you know who's in charge.

you can pick any base at anytime. Whatever base you choose.

Plan on 1-2 days of OT a month, OT is good becuase you can kinda controll "extra" income.

You really can't "control" the overtime. You volunteer for days and the company uses you if they want. Most of the time you don't know if you're going to get the overtime until your flying partner gets his go-home info and you don't. If you want to play the "kiss scheduling’s rear" game then you'll undoubtedly get more overtime. On occasion you'll get forced into overtime as they'll fly you into BFE at 8pm and then act surprised they're not able to airline you out.
