Haven't heard that on yet. They are suppose to be looking at getting some Citation V's

Bump...Its been years since I visited this web site. Good to know that the more things change, the more the stay the same. 135 charter is what it is, only the names change. Oh well. I suppose its time to start the fire. What are peoples thoughts on the mandatory 15/13, then 14/12 sched? Weren't there promises that pilots hired under the 8/6 contract would never be forced into the 15//13.

I was wondering myself what the latest is there at TMC... any updates??

 

[Dumbluck]

couple more Hawkers coming on-line. started upgrading f.o.'s to captain, I will give credit where its due, mgt is trying. Hired a small class thats already started ground school. I don't know if they are planing to hire more or not.

Class of 12 in INDOC right now. Company says it plans to have up to 10 hawker 850's by year end (3now). So, I would assume there will be more hiring in the near future.

Just my guess.

 

[IdRtherBsailing]

any street captains in that indoc class?

any street captains in that indoc class?

I don't believe so. They're trying very hard to promote from within now, and the only thing I want to be in is a HOT PINK CENTER!

Use that for your signature.

I think 1 Hawker 850 PIC. And a few Hawker SIC's.

 

[Dumbluck]

I don't know what plane they hired for, but mgt. is very aware of the growing animosity of the pilot group. Many of the pilots that have been here 2+years are unable to transition into the 800/850 due to insurance flight time requirements; add that on top of the schedule change and you end up with a very angry pilot group. There are ways to meet the insurance requirements for zero time guys, but I think they are unwilling to do it because of scheduling difficulties. My two cents.

What's the composition of the fleet nowadays (any breakdown)? Are the Citation IIs get phased out? What about the older Beechjets/Diamonds? What aircraft are the newhires generally being placed into?

Also, are the previously discussed payscales (I think 60K for Capts and $45K for FOs) still correct? Do salaries really max out at 60K (ceiling)? Being home-based helps but that schedule sounds like a killer schedule for people with families...

 

[boeing72]

Sounds like any more new Hawkers will be crewed by new hires, since they are now placing then into that aircraft. Just my view.
