The industrialized fleecing of the pilot community. They will probably get loads of applicants too.

That, by definition, is paying to fly.

Thus, a bottom feeder.

I can't believe in this day and age pilots would even consider working for a company like this.

I currently work there and have no problems at all. There is lots of growth inside the company, but everyone will have there opinions and answers. Its a fairly new company with new ownership. Some people will always talk of course. If anyone has any questions please just let me know or send me a msg.

Lots of growth? So what are you going to fly after the PA31? It is not a new company. Stop defending your choice to go somewhere where you are treated like scum.

I worked there in 2012; the owner was a different person but I think the ops people are the same from my research. The ops folks are the ones to look out for. Especially one who's initials are P.T, and Mike who was D.M at my time. They paid well for flying a chieftain. I racked up quite a bit of twin part 135 pic time and that led to a metro pic job now an md83 job, it was all a progression and it worked out quite well to have obtained that experience.

For someone who wants more pic, get into part 135 and get some good experience, it's worth a shot. All while probably making enough to pay bills if the pay is still $50/hr. My job was overloaded with flights so my experience there was probably different than from the EAS routes (I flew a lot!). If 135 or even airlines are your goal, I think the time definitely can't hurt.

Now, as for the SIC's I dunno... But don't worry too much, every bit of experience helps and counts.

Glad to see not everyone is negative. I dont think either of those people are here anymore. As far as my goals... the majors, i decided instead of going the CFI route i chose this one. Another FO i talked to is flying 107 this past month. 5 on 5 off and u can work ur days off if u want. Again thats not bad and capt get paid great for flying a piston.

I mean, I get a day rate of $350 for flying a piston multi with a guy once or twice a week. So I guess the definition of "good money" can differ. And I didn't have to cough up any money for training. After you spend the tens of thousands of dollars to go through flight school, you SHOULD NOT be paying for a job, paying for training, or signing more than a 1 year training contract.
