need some non-biased advice

[EX_CV580FR8Dawg]

Hi,

Just curious what some of you have to say....

I have to chose between two jobs in the next week to 2 weeks.

One is a 135 job that I would have to relocate for, not too far but nonetheless. The starting pay is a bit higher but will not be typed in the aircraft initially ( they mentioned in-house training), ( the a/c in question isn't used by many opeartors other than charter and cargo). Looks to be a year or so for that when the upgrade comes. The schedule is on-call 24/7 with a small amount of "hard days" off as well.

The other is with a frax operator, decent sked but lower pay. I also will be relocating anyhow. I do get an initial type as well which would be an added bonus. There is the ability to work OT which may make up for some of the lower pay. I have a good friend at the frax and he has given me a good insight to how things are and I am trying to make an informed decision. There are pros/cons for every job and I guess I am just looking for some objective advice to make the decison a little easier. I know which way I am leaning but would like a little more input.

Thanks in advance for your time and opinion.

On-call sucks bro. You'll more than likely have better QOL at the frac. It would be nice to have more money but you'll either be too tired to spend it, or at work.

Good luck with your decision. COUGH!(Fractional)COUGH!

thanks Rook....

Are you from the D?

my 2 cents. if you are going to start in either place as a f/o go with the frax they can never take away the type and you can log pic when wigglin the stix on call gets very old very quickly. if you are moving then it will be nice to be a number which means more than one aircraft. you don't want to be depending on only one aircraft at the number of hours i suspect you have................................ go frax best of luck to you

Not originally. I, like many before me, have called Detroit home thanks to 4 letters.

Good luck with your decision.

Nope. Kalitta flying service.

Hey Fedora. Thanks for the well-wishes. Not a day goes by that I question leaving. I miss the flying and the crews. But I don't miss RUH all that much.:nuts:
