What is the pay at the WA job? That sounds like a cool place to be based. Any info is appreciated.

 

[Corporate Dream]

Also, what are their minimums?

Corp. Dream...

The Pullman, WA job caught my attention right away too. I don't really know anything about the company other than researching their corporate website, but just based on that, they look like a decent place to work. I have no idea of the pay either, but after some thought I've decided not to apply because I can't afford to take too much of a pay cut, and the Palouse area isn't exactly where we want to be (though much closer than where we are now!) My wife and I desperately want to move out to the Sound area, but to do that not only would I have to take a new job (or deal with a hellacious commute), my wife would have to quit her job too... and I wonder how much you can make as the copilot of an airplane that doesn't even require a copilot?? (Citation Bravo)

Like I said, though, check out their company website... They're Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories in Pullman.

I don't know alot about this position. But, for what its worth, If I remember correctly, I think this is the 3rd posting in about two years for this position. You can infer what you want to, but generally places that have a lot of turnover aren't the best places to work.

Pure Speculation.

Thanks for the good info. I'll check into it.

the Bravo is a two pilot airplane. No where in the manuals or type certificate will you find any mention of single pilot in the Bravo. (Same holds for the 560 series)

The single pilot waiver for the airplane only exists in the form of an FAA letter that must be renewed by Cessna every 3 years. In addition pilots holding the waiver must renew it every 12 months.

During your single pilot ride and oral when they ask you how many pilots does this aircraft require? The correct answer is "Two"

The only place you will find single pilot on the aircraft is part 91.....and then only if the liability ins. is not too high.

I also applied for this SIC job when it was posted a year or so ago and got into the first or second round of telephone interviews and was going to go to WA for the person to person interview but they changed their requirements midstream. They then wanted a type rated pilot so I was out. I interviewed with the chief pilot and he seemed like a nice enough guy and the money, benefits all seeemed reasonable for an SIC job. The one downside seemed to be a lot of overnight trips, if memory serves me (and I could be wrong) was around 130 nights away from home.

Thanks for the correction. I'll gladly admit that all I know about the airplane is what I read on the Cessna website, when I looked it up out of curiosity. Cessna seems to enjoy touting the fact that it is a single pilot airplane, but (of course) they don't make any mention of all the restrictions you've pointed out. Makes sense though... personally I don't see how any jet transport airplane should be considered safe to operate single pilot. Sure, when things are going well we don't do much, but when things go wrong...
