There is no flying out of BOI. Bases change all the time almost every 6 months. everyone is on a pay cut right now and furloughs may happen. Company is very broke and just lost a big contract when direct air closed the doors without warning. Not the place to be. Besides there is no hiring going on right now. After everyone jumps ship there might be some hiring if the company is still in business. The cycle is- hire pilots for an upcoming contract. Contract doesn't pan out, give everyone a pay cut and furlough, pilots all leave, hire to replace those that have left, then start cycle over again. This is a one yr cycle. Could be a good place to work if they could make money and stop having the employees supplement the business model with their paychecks.
