Keep in mind this isn't an airline, it's a charter gig. I you wanna fly 6+ hours a day and build time quickly, this isn't your job. A charter plane that does a trip a day IS pretty busy. Put it in perspective.. If you were applying for a job flying a Citation or a Lear and it flew "pretty much a trip a day" you'd probably consider that a pretty busy charter schedule. It's easy to lose sight of that since this job is flying a Saab and you likely associate it with regional airline flying.

If you're working for Pentastar and your job disappears for some reason, you can apply for any open position on an internal basis, otherwise you get furloughed just like any other flying job. That's what happened to me and I had another job in less than two weeks.

I don't know what the pay is for this position, but from what I've heard it's not a high paying job.

Also, something to keep in mind.. Pentastar uses the senior pilot as the PIC, regardless of who is sitting in what seat and performing what duties. If you are the senior pilot, you will sign for the plane. If you are the junior pilot, you will sign the flight log as the SIC. Period. It's very clearly stated in the GOM. I only mention it because I didn't know that when I was hired.
