      Pros

      I started with PlaneSense in 2015 with around 850 hours TT. After reaching 1500TT I was offered an upgrade to captain which I accepted. The training department was excellent. Now that I'm at a regional airline the training very much resembles airline style training for indoc, systems and level D sims in Dallas. Trips are very diverse. Canada to the Bahamas and everywhere in between. Class B airspace to tiny grass strips you will never have a dull moment. The PC-12 is an absolute blast to fly! Still to this day it's the best plane I've ever flown. I did a recruiting trip to my alma matter and I was able to fly my wife and kids with me on the PC-12 which most people will not get the opportunity to do. Lastly the company never pushed me to do something unsafe. Now there were plenty of times I told OCC the weather wasn't good and they would say "can you go try?" To which I would say absolutely! Not get in and have to divert. Never questioned why or got mad that I couldn't get in. Now passengers on the other hand? Not so much. A few times passengers just couldn't understand why I didn't want to fly into a hurricane. That being said the company always had my back. I would absolutely recommend PlaneSense to any pilot looking to gain very valuable experience.

      Cons

      There was some head butting with management between the pilot group when I was there over salary and quality of life. At the time the regionals were really picking up their hiring and offering crazy bonuses. We were losing a lot of pilots and the work load was increasing. Pay never increased besides yearly raises. And the workload was increasing. Also If you are PSM or PDK based the chances of you flying all 8 days are very hight with no extra pay. If you are based at an outstation enjoy the airline miles that you will gain commuting to PSM. If you are PSM or PDK based the pay will be the same but more work for you. Now however a sort time after I left I have heard captain pay did increase and I know things have changed to improve quality of life. Now with the bad out of the way I NEVER had a problem with the chiefs or management on a personal level. If I had a family emergency the chiefs did everything they could to get me home. At the time I left the company has never missed the birth of a child even to the point of diverting a plane to insure a pilot can get home.

      Pros

      Training is excellent, most people are easy to deal with, pay is not bad, they don’t push you to complete a flight if you don’t feel comfortable with the wx. They seem to listen and encourage feedback.

      Cons

      8 days on is a long time.

      Pros

      900 hours of flying a year as a psm based pilot. They have health insurance.

      Cons

      There is a huge disparity between psm based pilots and pilots at other bases. I flew 900 hours a year while remote based pilots fly about 400. If you divide the f.o. salary by the duty hours I made $11 an hour. I could make more at a fast food place because at least they would pay time and a half. Upgrading to captain is really only a few dollar an hour pay raise. The time you get in a pc-12 is really just as valuable on a resume as instructing in a skyhawk because it's single engine time. Sure you're not getting experience going into tebs 4 times a day but that's not the point to me. I would recommend instructing over here. The flight school I left was paying enough to make the same amount of money as long as I did 10 hours of billable time a week.
