United States Aviation - Tulsa

[JJthejetplane]

Looking for some info on United States Aviation in Tulsa. Anything good or just another crap 135 gig?

Honestly this is probably one of the only places I would go to if I were living back in the Tulsa area. Good clean planes, but on call alot. Seem to hire a range of low time pilots to retired airline guys.

Nothing but good things to say. And they have an open door...so go visit for yourself.


Peace!

I know a couple of the previous GV guys were lower time ex-mil guys. The owner is a pilot and flys the line. Ton of money so security is not an issue.

I talked to them years back and didnt like the fact that you have no set days off. Wasen't ready to go from 121 back to 135, so I didn't. Other than that, they seem to have a very nice outfit with some very nice airplanes.

What's the definition of low time pilots in regards to this operation? Remember?

WEll I think that they prefer some kind of turbine time. Our flight instructor got hired with 2200 total, 500 or so turbine and 700-800 multi

hope it helps

Not sure, I will ask around and see if I can come up with an answer to that. They certainly have great aircraft and a very nice facility and tons of money in the bank, there is no presure to make any money there, this is a hobby for the boss, I think cement is where he made the fortune.

Cement is where he made it. You've heard the pros, now for some cons:

The boss can be a tough man to work for, no set time on off, low pay, training contracts.....

Stay away from US Aviation, and Tulsa,Ok. There are an abundance of laid off pilots and retired chief pilots that saturate the market in Tulsa.
This is probably true in other parts of the country, but Tulsa was hit hard with energy and telecommunication company cut backs.

aircraft addition....

Heard through the grapvine that they acquired or modified a Falcon 20-5 with a proline 4 cockpit. Began flying it a week or so ago, just rumors, but may be a lead for a FA-20 driver.
