Hello all, I currently have a friend who has an offer from Piedmont for a February class. However he also have a job offer to fly Lear 35's for REVA in New York, as well as a third flying Phenom 100's, and 300's for Executive Airshare at KMKC. Always wanted to do part 135, but the way the airline industry is moving, Piedmont is tempting. Thoughts?

Clown clothes? You mean a professional uniform? You guys dress like somebody who works at T-Mobile.
So cute that they have convinced you that days at home on call are not work day. And don't get it twisted, I see you clowns begging to have GPU fees taken off your bill at the FBO right before you ask for a ride to the Red Roof Inn. Enjoy that 10/5 schedule!

Well back on topic again. I would think long and hard about going to work for a company that had 25% pilot attrition last year with 19 pilots leaving in 2016 alone. We were told specifically that the 10/5 schedule was predicted off having something like 90 fractional pilots. And yep that count is 76. So it wouldn't take me long to make that decision!!!

I enjoyed the 10/5 schedule very much at Airshare for the most part. When it got busy it was work for sure, but days at home were generally 'off'
Your friend just needs to decide on his ultimate goal in this career. Very few of my friends over the years have ever made 'moron' decisions by going one place versus another. It often boils down to being misinformed or lacking proper guidance. In the past 2 years alone, half a dozen EAS/recent EAS pilots have gone to fedex, southwest, Delta, and career stop corporate jobs.
EAS is a great place to build up a large experience bank and put some PIC time in your logbook quickly. It's a valuable checkbox to have on nearly every application out there. 95% of the people are great to work with, management is in general very fair, and the pay is decent. I'm not going to sit here and list the negatives because we all know what they are.
There is something to gain from working at every type of operator too. Some of the best pilots I've flown with have done a little bit of everything, freight/charter/airline/mil. Additional perspective is never a bad thing!
And last but most importantly is the ability to sift through all of the **** and sh!t on these types of boards to find the unbiased information to make those decisions!

The industry is the most fluid it's been in over a decade. People are leaving EVERYWHERE except the career stops. EAS is only a career stop if you choose for it to be, there's plenty to be gained from putting in a few years working there.
