is that the operation that flies King Airs and Beach400s? They want you on a pager for use all the time, with no benefits... right?

I've had a couple of friends who have flow at bemidiji. He was based in Rice Lake WI. He just did a run from Rice Lake to MSP, sat in MSP for some ungodly amount of time and then flew back to Rice Lake. I think he only got something like maybe an hour and half Hobbs per day. I know that they do have the cargo gig with UPS flyin' QueenAir's and BE-99's... I'm also pretty sure they've got a 135 outfit flying KingAirs... I couldn't tell ya specifics though...

Bemidji does have a King Air that they use for Charters. Also they have a contract with Mesaba to fly Mechanics and parts around, Usually in the middle of the night. There biggest contract is with UPS, they have probably 20-25 aircraft dedicated to that. And also a couple of smaller ones for DHL.

Yeah.. They got a real bad reputaion when they crash with Sen. Welstone onboard. They used to make you pay for training as well I think.

The MSP market really is saturated, unless you have lots of time and know the right people you are better off looking someplace else for now. I moved from the Cities to KY and found the job and pay situation much better..

Does anyone have any info on Minnesota Choice out of STP? Thanks.

There are a bunch of us from Independence Air in MSP also. I've been trying to go corporate for a couple of years now with no luck. I applied at Schwans also, but never heard back. Wouldn't mind moving to Marshall either...seems like a good operation. Like everybody says, MN is very pilot saturated, but just keep applying and networking and maybe over time you can make contact with the right person. Good luck!

Could you try Wisc-Air? It's a small cargo operation out of Green Bay, Wisconsin.

As I recall, the aircraft are flown primarily out of Anoka in the North Metro of the Twin Cities. Sorry I don't know much more about it, but if anyone else has information....

Jet Choice?

Saint--

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I've seen them referred to as Jet Choice or Minnesota Choice Aviation....Is it the same operation? I think they operate Falcon 10s and 50s as a management company at St Paul Downtown.

Thanks.

 

[Boondock Saint]

Jet Choice I think is the company you are thinking of.... www.jetchoice.com.
Nice guys over there.

Do they have a more formal name or does anybody know what their contact information is? I googled them and it didn't come up with much.

Thanks guys!
