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.

Pros

The director is a great guy and is an advocate for the specialists. It was a relatively easy job. Good job for somebody right out of college.

Cons

No company culture. Old and Cold atmosphere. Horrible communication, outdated systems. “This is how we’ve always done it” attitude. Turnover rate through the roof in IT and MX, so few things can ever be completed or done correctly. Very old aircraft leading to MX problems and cancellations. Commissions are way below average and the market is very volatile. Do not expect to make 80-100k, more like 50k after taxes. No room for growth. Insurance is bad.
