Pros

Quick Upgrades to Captain True Home-basing from anywhere in the CONUS You know your schedule 1 year in advance Covid proof - We actually hired and grew during Covid and actually flew more hours than 2019. Lightning fast growth, but not too fast. We started with 3 jets in 2015 and are up to 96. While they have treated me 5 Stars worth during Hurricanes, family emergencies, etc., I am giving us 4 Stars as we are growing and progressing to 5 Stars. And no, I’m not in Management.

Cons

As a newer Company, we don’t have all the pay and benefits yet as companies that have 2 and 3 decades on us, but that is to be expected and was offset for me by the quick upgrade to Captain and the ability to live on BOTH Coasts. We don’t have the same pay and benefits as the Major Passenger and Cargo Airlines, but then again we know our schedules a year in advance and can live anywhere.

Pros

It's an exciting, growing company where individuals who express interest can get involved in and really impact the direction of the company. Because everything is getting built, an entrepreneurially-inclined individual can get involved in high-visibility initiatives that influence decision making.

Cons

The pace isn’t for everyone—priorities can shift quickly, and ambiguity is common. This is somewhat common for an immature company and attempting to grow quickly in a difficult market Systems and processes are still maturing, which can create friction. Resource constraints at times make execution more challenging than it needs to be.

Pros

- schedule options (8/6 or 15/13) - bonus pay on days off (up to $1750 a day if available) - diverse flying from ATL and ORD to smaller non towered airports (every rotation is different)

Cons

- aside from small base pay, additional pay is paid by the hour, if you sit on the ground on a broken aircraft or home reserve you don’t make extra money. - leads to my next con, planes break A LOT, they’re older other companies used airplanes that come with a list of issues. - you book all your own hotels, rental cars, Ubers, etc (you’d think this would be a con but it’s not. I waste my rest periods, especially late in the evening trying to get transportation, book a hotel (when everywhere is booked) and arranging food in between quick turn arounds when I would rather have someone book it for me.
