Really sounds like they're chasing EAS money without some basic attention to their existing routes and employees - ie, growing way too fast. Money out of SFO without a solid understanding of aviation or the needs and wants of a long-term pilot group. Management pilots sound a bit inexperienced for the growth they're trying to make happen. And sounds like there's already some staffing and paperwork issues that are just going to get worse ?

Good PIC pay but I predict major issues down the line.
I'm open to more info, but looking elsewhere for now.
Any chances that they will be opening up a base in California? Trying to change careers late this year or early next year.

Also - for the current Boutique pilots, are most of the legs 135 or do some fall under part 91? Just trying to gauge how much time the SIC can actually log?

Thanks in advance!
