Default Dreamline!

We operate 4 King Airs, 1 Honda Jet, 1 Lear 45, 4 Lear 60s, Falcon 50 and 900, Challenger 604 and a G4. One Lear 60 and two King Airs are based in the Bay Area, everything else is based at VNY.

8 Days off per month; 5 "hard" days, and 3 "floater days". Days off are requested at the beginning of the previous month and are posted by the 15th. Hards days cannot be moved, on floater days you may be called to fly by the company up until 6pm the day before, otherwise it becomes a "hard day" which you are not on-call for. If the company calls you to work a floater day you can either move it to another day during the month, or choose to work it and earn 1.5x your day rate. If the company requests you to work a hard day (no obligation), it's 2x day rate.

You are paid a base salary plus a a minimum of 15 days a month of your "day rate". If you work anything in excess of 15 days you earn your day rate for every additional day. I am PIC rated and current on two of our planes and average 15 days of flying/on the road per month. Full medical/dental/vision benefits, paid vacation. Frankly, salaries are competitive, but not stellar. What keeps me around is the great people and great life on the road. Rental Cars, in most cases you can request your hotel in most cities, $2.25/hr per diem domestic and $3/hr international. Not to mention lots of time at home.
