Scenic Airlines:current interview gouge needed asap. Thank you!

[amcnd]

Just got the interview email also. I made it clear that I would only go as a Capt. She said they were not hiring any more fos for the year.

What is the first year capt pay? I mean what can you expect. I'm expecting it is pretty low since the girl would not give me spacifics through email.

Any info would be helpful.

Don't know what it is know, but back in 1997 it was $18.50 a hour and half that for non flying time ( for a while after SkyWest sold them they went to some funny pay per tour type pay. I think it was $60 per round trip to GCN?). Im glad to see Scenic is still around!!

Common, man...you've got an ATP and you can't figure out why a place that hires at 600/50 can't upgrade some of it's FOs?

when I left it was commercial / multi w/ an instrument rating

The majority of the FO's are no where near having the time to upgrade...most are in the 500-700 range with many new ones around 300 hours total.

The new joint payscale is based on duty time and starts at $18/hour for CA and $12/hour for FO. There is a $10/hour overide for duty over 11 hours. 64.6 hour per two week guarentee. The pay jumps at 500 hours in type and then every 400-500 hours there after until year 3 when it becomes yearly. It's not bad and you do make more overall than the previous scale, but there are a lot of little nickel and dime issues in it that have pissed some of us off.

I believe they are still hiring captains to some extent, but I don't know the specifics. Lately I've just been trying to show up, fly and go home.

Just curious - what does an "average day" at Scenic look like for pilots? Do you fly 3-4 roundtrips to the Canyon or do you do other trips? I thought Scenic lost its Beech 1900 EAS flights?

You mentioned that pay goes up every 500 hours in type.

Do you start at a higher wage if you already have time in type?

If so, what would the hourly wage be for 2000+ hours DHC6 PIC time?

Thx

Do I have it right that first year pay is about 27k for a Capt?

 

[Vegaspilot99]

If you only made base guarentee then it would be 30,232. There is also a mid year bonus of 2k and an end of year bonus of $8 x # of hours flown for the year. Most likely you'd fly over guarentee in the spring through fall and make guarentee in the winter months.

What are the schedules like? i.e days off, hrs of flying per day, vacation?
