Pros

Fly every day but not weekends. Holidays off. Rapid movement into turboprops. Great experience. Fly scheduled runs all weather and nights.

Cons

Pay was lower than industry standard. Equipment is old but maintained well. No turbine equipment only turboprops. Pilot openings may require entry level employee to relocate.

Thank you for taking the time to review us. We're happy to hear that you like the schedule and had great experiences! Over the past 2 years, we have improved pilot pay by quite a bit. We are now an industry leader in pilot pay. We have 5 aircraft, only one is not turbine (the PA-31). While they are not jets, they are still turbine. With 18 bases nationwide, we have a lot of locations. Our entry-level pilots (First Officers usually) are often asked to relocate before they start their career with us if we do not have a position available near them. They'll fly where we need them until they become a Captain (6 months to a year), then they'll be able to pick their base and bid a line.

Thank you for taking the time to review us. We're very happy to hear you are enjoying the attitudes and goals of our employees! Even better that you enjoy coming to work. Always a good thing! We are working to hire pilots and are branching out to implement new ideas we hope will help us recruit qualified and motivated pilots. We hope to one day soon be so well staffed that we are able to go to a 4 day work week for our pilots. We are also doing a lot of new things to improve our communication. We're working hard to make every one of our employees at our 18 bases feel like they are at home in our large family!

Pros

Great teams of people. Very can do attitudes and very knowledgeable in their fields. Always something interesting going on. A great place to learn different things about the airline business. Over the last couple of years, have streamlined operations and are much more professional in approach.

Cons

Need more investment from top to bottom. In the fleet, in the employees in some of the facilities, in IT systems. Benefits and pay are good, but the company is under such time and earnings pressure that there is no time or money for employee development and training.

Thank you for taking the time to review us. We're glad to hear you are enjoying the attitudes and experience of our teams! We have worked very hard to streamline our operations and vamp up our professionalism. We're glad to hear you list both of those things as a pro. We are constantly working to improve all aspects of our company and are glad to see your list. While our aircraft are not brand new, our maintenance and leadership teams take proper care of each one. Safety is our #1 goal and pilots are never asked to fly planes they do not deem safe themselves. Our IT department is implementing several new programs including Office 365 that will help to deliver training electronically. It will also serve to streamline things internally and improve our efficiency. There are a number of other things we are in the process of changing: we just switched to United Health Care, we are implementing a new software called ARMS, more.
