How's things at Quest these days?

I know they're hiring at least a couple captains, but I've heard some 50/50 information about the working conditions at the company. How do they treat their pilots? What out pay? QOL? Days off?

Basically, any information anyone could give me about what it's like working for them would be great. Thanks!

Nothing you aren't aware of. I still haven't received word from them. Not so much as an automated "got it, now go away"...

D'oh, that sucks. Just hoping being local might help matters. Still need that extra 100TT though. Sigh.

QOL might be going a little downhill soon. The company wants to reduce a line in both LNS and HGR to make us more productive. My nice 5 on/5 off is probably going to get chopped up to a 4 on/3 off. Oh well. Can't complain about the extra cash.

PM sent. I can never remember which board we're talking on at any given time.

ALB might just get a little more popular if that's the case. Anyway, back to Quest . . .

It helps if you walk your resume into the CP's office. I had a friend that sent his resume via email and heard nothing. About a month later, he walked his resume into the CP's office, and after BS'ing for a few minutes was offered an interview a week later. Putting a face to a resume goes a long way with Quest.

Good luck.
