Pros

Turbine PIC time builder. Company is really trying to increase salaries and retain pilots through retention bonuses. Flying is challenging and will make you a better IFR pilot.

Cons

- Upgrades are generally only available within your base, and are rarely posted - Reimbursements are denied, if they are not specifically spelled out in the GOM. If not denied it can take months to get your check. - Per Diam pay is regularly denied even though you don't get rest at your base but you did make it there to pick up cargo. - Concerns brought to management are ignored - Specifically Dallas Dispatch has no respect for their pilots. - Dallas crew apartments haven't been cleaned in months, and complaints are ignored. - Lack of concern from management about crews personal needs - Time off / Vacations

Pros

I work 10 hour shifts. I get Saturday, Sunday and Monday off. I don't have to be back to work until Tuesday night. Great shift.

Cons

Low pay. Some Managers drag you on. Promise you the world. Promise you more money and can't come up with it.

Thanks for taking the time to review us. I'm glad the schedule works for you. I'm sorry to hear about some of the promises you may have gotten from Managers. In that case, we definitely need to do a better job setting expectations. Please feel free to address your concerns to your Manager and his/her Manager if necessary. If you don't get an answer from them, contact us in HR. You might not get the answer you want, but we'll definitely get you answer. Thanks again for your review!

Pros

Salary after training, CASS Participant

Cons

If you already have 1200 hours just wait 300 more and go to a regional for a Jet. Please take 5 minutes and read my bad experience with this Airline. Phone interview and class date. They will promess you a Crew base but it's not guarantee. 1st week of indoc normal with $9 hr. Salary. 2nd week Systems just 3 days. This week you will only get paid 3 days if you don't do anything else. 3rd week is the bad part. They have an almost 20 yr. Old Frasca Sim yes a Frasca that was broken for 1 week. The sim is a piece of crap. Super bad and is so old that the yoke gets stuck almost all the time. The bad part is that they expect you to fly almost perfect. Maintain Level, Altitude, Attitude, fly SID, enroute, Arrival, Emergencies, checklist and the flows that are extremely long. Again you will only get paid for the time on sim. If you are 2 Hrs. Thats what you get paid. Frasca is 2 weeks long and you will be paid around $220 for 2 weeks. If you get done (lucky). This training is insane, they make the training so hard, Astronaut type just to fly a Chieftain or BE99. They fly old school like 1970 navigation type. No GPS and Insane procedures out of date. You now go for the plane. Again $9hr. Salary you have to be 2 weeks flying cargo in a super old ugly plane for around $25 a day. The instructors are lazy so you need to fly offline(no cargo) for complete training but they don't want to do it. Finishing the 2nd week they will start your offline but if the plane broke or weather arrives you need to wait for a new instructor for start offline training. Again if you don't fly you don't get paid. Also you need to load and unload cargo from the plane(around 1500 lbs. A day). When you pass your check ride you will start in the line with the normal salary. But remember showtime is at 6AM in the 90% of bases and you will be done at 8PM normally. You will only fly 2 to 4 hrs. A day. The rest of the day you will be stuck outstation somewhere. Don't risk your PRIA Record with this old planes and old airline from my class of 13 guys only 6 pass everything. There's no autopilot and only 10% of the aircraft have GPS flying Busy IFR Departures and Busy Arrivals from big airports. Easy to get a Violation. Just wait more and fly a Jet with Professional Equipment. Your choice
