Crew Schedules are a bid type schedule. You submit a request and schedules for the following month are posted on the 20th. Your allowed to submit long term request to allow your fellow crew members to see your future requests on a Bid Tracker. Plus there is a vacation type program that allows you to request up to 14 days per year. Once those days are approved then they are guaranteed so you can plan out your personal life.

Cirrus is a non-floating fleet model designed to serve the LAS market. Typically, our planes return to base at the end of the day. Our crews on the light jets average 3-5 overnights away from base per month. Mid-size jets average 5-8 overnights away from base per month. Heavy jets vary but typically the average trips are less than 5 nights away from base. But it can vary so it’s hard to say a monthly average on the Heavy’s due to the nature of those trips (i.e. We do lots of Hawaii round trips where you sit for a week).

Crews are in LAS majority of the time. There is a 90 minute call out while on duty. The plus side is that time is spent at home and not in a hotel out on the road. You are allowed to do whatever you want while on call, but must be able to respond to the Company within a reasonable time, be fit for Duty, and meet the 90 minute call out.

We require training contracts on Initial type ratings. It’s a 12 month contract pro-rated for our contract rate with our training providers. We do not require a training contract for recirrent training events. Nothing is needed and it’s pretty straight forward and standard in our industry.

Again, is it perfect? No, but our focus is on being successful. Being able to attract and maintain professional pilots is the key to that success. So we are constantly trying to improve the overall relationships with our pilots and providing a competitive Compensation & QOL package.
