The owner has said that there is countless opportunities everywhere, but they kept the pilot bench so tight and bought ****e planes that everyone felt the departure of even just one pilot. Due to the most awful advice, he was told pilots are easily replaceable in this current state of pilot hiring. That could have been correct if the pay was decent and a schedule could be kept.
I believe they are beyond thin on instructors and captains, and less thin on FO’s. It’s a revolving door. There is only one pilot there over 2 years.

Save yourself the heartache and unnecessary aging. Seek life elsewhere.
Yep. . .see above! An email just came out titled "Expectations while on flight duty" . . . and it was short and too the point . . . " Each crew member should prepare mentally to be on duty for their maximum allowable FDP. "
yep. . revolving door! I really hope they can turn this place into a really cool place to work . . but history makes me very cautions.
