I will make sure my boss knows we are still hiring. He seems to think they are not. Weird.

Yeah! That's effing weird! Who's your "boss"? Initials only, if I might ask?

I was wrong. The Avenge website is wrong. As of late, Avenge has temporarily stopped hiring. Don't let that stop you from applying, though.

Pretty sure those are for bided, but not awarded contracts.

Yes, CACI is currently hiring for a contract that they won by under bidding Avenge. That is also why Avenge is currently not hiring. Right now CACI is using L3 pilots to man the planes because they do not have the man power to do it.

I am not sure how much they are offering, but I have heard that the initial offer they are giving people is only for like 60 or 90 days and they quote you a daily rate without telling you that you do not get paid 7 days a week.

If someone knows more chime in. Aside from knowing they won the contract all the rest is just word of mouth.

Last I heard, avenge had cut pay to 10k for SIC and 16 for PIC new hires. I'm curious what this company is paying their pilots.

Pilots validate these crappy pay rates by accepting them. I cannot understand why anyone would want to fly in that environment for less than CONUS wages.

Those pilots are driving down the value of all pilots doing that sort of work.
