3707552[/url]]I can't explain it, I'm just saying that the mindset still exists.
I just interviewed yesterday for a managed G-ride, purely Part 91.
It's your standard 2 pilots, 1 airplane setup, with no schedule.
The pay is about $40K below market, with no projected salary expectations over the course of the next 2-5 years.
With their mindset, I shoulda worn my parachute pants to the interview and grown a mullet teased with Aqua Net.
I asked where they guy went that I would be replacing. "Oh, he went to American." They obviously just don't get it.
In the interim, they've been using contractors until they find a replacement.
It won't become real until the airplane is parked for an important trip.
It's painfully obvious that the "management" folks don't have the sack to tell the owners that they need to staff to at least 3, ideally 4 pilots, on an airplane that flies 300+ hours/year if they want 24/7/365 coverage.
I hope the other two people that are in the running also turn down the position, if offered, as I plan on doing.
If either of them do....well, you get what you pay for.
There are too many douchers out there who are in the part of their careers where they're only still flying for the beer money, greens fees, and funding their 3rd wife's 2nd boob-job
