Pilatus Job on Climbto350.com

Anyone with a membership have any info on the Pilatus F/O job that was posted on the 18th. or 19th?

I assume it's with Westward Airways, but curious if it is with someone else.

It's Westward Airways.

Much Appreciated.

Thanks man. I know they've been advertising quite a bit on 350 to try and get pilots. I sent my info in, but couldn't get any feedback on pay, qol etc. That, and they want like 1200TT for an F/O on a PC-12, and I only don't have it, though they said they would look at an F/O with 1000TT.

Oh well. They'll have to lower the standard I think, cause obviously, they aren't getting what they're looking for if they have to keep advertising.

They want 1200 hours to fly as an F/O on a single engine airplane that does not require an F/O?! Anyone with 1200 hours can land a job with a regional and build better quality flight time. Unless pay or QOL is great, why would any 1200 hour pilot sign up for that gig?

FWIW, Just got a call from Westward, they are offering $1800/month for FO, with medical, dental, and vision. CA's start at $30k+ /year.

There is a Westward Pilatus FO job on there today, but it is just listed as Part 135 SIC. The job from yesterday that shows up as Pilatus SIC is from these folks:

You can't log sic time in the PC-12 since it doesn't require one. So if your looking to build time then this is not the place to be.

You can log SIC time in a PC-12 just like you can in a Caravan.

Correct. The times are equally worthless in both planes.

That's not the case with our Caravan FO's. All of them upgrade when they have the to bigger aircraft at our airline and others.

They learn more real world stuff flying with us than they would flight instructing.
